Summertime


This has already been a very long, hot summer....

Wish I was at the beach...


What does Summertime mean to me? St. Augustine with my family; enjoying the sun, walking on the beach, stunning sunrises, beautiful sunsets, wonderful food, and above all, my Grandsons.


This summer, ArtBeads sponsored a Summertime design challenge, and I was really excited to participate.


The glitter of the ocean in the morning sunlight on a hot summer day. The depth of the blues and greens of the ocean, as the reflection of the ocean foam on the waves, all inspired my concept.



Many, many design ideas come to mind. I finally choose a necklace with blue and green glass beads, reflecting the beauty



.

Now I can’t wait for fall to arrive!

Cubic Zirconia Revisited


In November, I became a blogging partner with ArtBeads, and I had an opportunity to play with wonderful colors and shapes of CZ's.

Many months have passed, and I have finally replaced my computer and reloaded all my files, photos and above all, I'm learning how to use my new Mac, so I thought it was about time I shared my creations.

I hope you enjoy my creations, I certainly enjoyed the creative process, and love the unique sparkle and glitz of the cubic zirconia.

What's next?
I'll be working on a new selling site, my own website, and more blogging and creative projects.
