More in the Jo Jo Collection

Finally I have a working computer and camera! 

This is the set I made for my daughter for Christmas. I won the lamp work beads from a blog give away years ago, and never got the inspiration to work with them, until about a week before Christmas. Talk about cutting it short :)

Jo loves the multi layer look with the bulkier chains. Aluminum chains are great for that. You can really pack em on a toggle!

I LOVE the colors in this. In the south, we really dont' get winter, but I can tell you, I am ready for spring ")

Come on Spring!! Lampwork Necklace

I am really eager for spring to be here. It is March - finally - and spring does hit hear early.

I am trying to change up my styles and give a broader selection to my necklaces as opposed to always the bulky trendy pieces.


I had a handful of lamp work beads that I used to make this asymmetrical design. The way I wrapped the focal, it is very similar on either side, so you will never wear the piece backwards.

I love buying bulk lamp work beads from Sedona Stones. They offer them by the kilo, and you buy them sight unseen. It is a lot of fun to receive a grab bag of goodies to stimulate your creativity.

Are you ramping up your inventory with new spring designs?

Christmas lampwork beads from Rings & Things!!!

A few weeks ago on Rings & Things Facebook page - they asked -

How do you finish this sentence? (No pressure on your FB friends + loved ones!)
"For a holiday gift, I hope for __________ from Rings & Things."

Well of course I answered, my input is important :)

And lo and behold I get a message from Dave - saying, "Thanks for playin' along, am gonna send you a goodie bag"

I squealed!!!! How fun is that! Just a little bit of participation with one of my favorite suppliers and they reward that with a goodie bag!
