Lovely single strand necklace of pearl and crystal....

 This necklace reminds me of the series The Tudors; I think I was influenced by those gorgeous costumes and jewelry on the show!  I've just added it to the online shelves in the Gypsy Spoonful online marketplace...

A lovely beaded choker with pearl pendant....

Choker-length necklaces can be so flattering, and when they consist of a lovely spiral of seed beads with a freeform pearl pendant, you can really stand out!  FInd this one on the online shelves of Busy Crow Studio in the Gypsy Spoonful marketplace!

Promise of Peace Folk Art Beaded Crosses

These handcrafted cross feature lavish beading on a frame of enameled and/or natural wire.  There is beadwork on all surfaces, and the beads are woven into a sturdy, beautiful ornament of faith.  The crosses come with a printed Bible verse and are strung onto 3" cords.

One of my favorite ways to display these is to hang them from a drawer pull or cabinet knob so that each time I open that drawer or door, I see and enjoy it.  The crosses are 3.5" tall and 3" across, so if you add a longer cord or chain, you can also have a bold, beautiful cross necklace!

These crosses are $29.00; but....psssst!  I occasionally offer them at eBay with a starting bid of only $14.00.  They make a great gift of encouragement for yourself, friend, or loved one.

This is the third and last project that I completed with the tube of seed beads and string of amber chips (I have also made the bracelet and the earrings with those beads also.) That was a lot of beading projects from one tube and one small string of chips!
