Designs in the Light: Some days it works some days it doesn't!!

Some days it works and some days it doesn't! I am referring to designing. I have had several days in the last week were I would sit down to design and it just didn't come to me. I worked and reworked a necklace that turned into a bracelet and it still is not up to snuff.

Then yesterday I sat down with some of my favorite pendants from my friend Erin of Tesori Trovati. She is a wonderful lady full of inspiration for me and I love her inspirational messages and decided it was a good day for that.

This one has turquoise stone and a taupe peanut beads that accent the boro bead from my friend Amanda at Sea Shore Glass. I have a beautiful selection of Amanda's glass in a whole tray in my studio ready to bring my designs to life.
Take time to pray. This is a message many of my friends can find inspiring.

This one is with one of my favorite stones labradorite. This particular cut is really special, wonderful light. I added a cool angle wing and BELIEVE ring (my word) from Vintaj. The message is uplifting. The design turned out beautiful.

I have several more of these special verse pendants and I will be adding them soon.

This one is called Spring Rain by Erin also and it says "Dream Deep" on the back of this focal. This one has a heart and tumbled ceramic bead from another friend Gaea. She also has a full tray in my studio. I have to stay away from her shop because I can't help myself every time she brings in new bundles. I am so thrilled to know these people and have their amazing beads for my designs.
