Bead Hoarders Blog Hop reveal

Welcome to the Bead Hoarders Blog Hop !!
About 167  of us showing some things we do if we actually use the beads :-)

I want to thank Lori Anderson again for being such a great host for those hops and  opportunities to play along with other designers over the world !
Stay strong we need and love You !!

As usual I did not make the things I intended so some of the used stash is old and some new....

First out a pair of earrings with my handmade ceramic triangle beads with feathers  + Czech glass and linen ...copper wires. I have lots of my own beads hoarding in drawers and still want to use other designers beads too...







Necklace with amazing Quartz stone point and polymer art bead in front ( I did buy that art bead very long ago so no shop name sorry). Lots of silk ( I have so much silk to use !) and cords  small beads (Czech and pearls) sewn into the silk around the neck. Closes with another raw quartz at the side as a button. Czech beads are great to use every where!
here are  earrings to match the necklace with those spectacular raw Quartz points and vintage beads (sterling ear wires made by myself) Those quartz points are double or multi terminated so they have nice strong energies :-)
I have a lovely selection of vintage beads that need to be used

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 Lots of earrings in this post ......


like those with Czech glass new style....hard to resist those beads on the fabulous pictures in the shops .......eeeeekkk






and this pair with gorgeous Swarovski faceted big guys and Titanium plated Quartz
  + handmade ox. copper wires with beads on
My stash of Swarovski beads is not small and I rarely use them those days as my jewelry is turning more and more tribal..


 One more Talisman necklace, this one  with lots of goddies from Petra! I got a package Yesterday from her and just had to make something at once :-) Love her ceramic charms
added some Czech beads and Botswana agate ....can be worn long or wrapped like this!(good to use some of my horded chain too..this is a fantastic raw brass chain ..added some ox)


Those earrings have some more from her shop...lovely  wood looking shards ;-)  had to use them too...+ wooden beads and red lampwork. I have lots of nice lampwork in my drawers. Some made by my dear friends over seas !

Recently made earrings with lampwork and crystal points (have a thing for points at the moment  lol  You may have noticed )  my own 2 favo pairs at the moment

and finally.... a color-boost with silk and Jade for my daughter Lina, color and flower lover, who left Sweden for New Zealand a few weeks ago. Working as fire engineer constructing at the rebuilding of the town Christchurch. She left in beginning of Swedish summer and landed in darkest winter down under. (though I must say their winter is like our spring over here )
Those are not finished and I may make some more for the stack........
 


 I was planning to make more jewelry  but am very busy with garden and house at the moment ...here some nice things I will use soon..
Scarab pendant from my friend Dorcas (making a necklace for men)  and a huge Basha bead....big hollow bead from Claire..... some  ancient roman glass ... and brass bells 

I will soon start a HUGE destash sale  in my Etsy shop AngelWhisperer

I am not alone

.........many of my friends are
                   bead -hoarders  :-)

(who does not love pearls)

closing up on the reveal date for the  bead hoarders blog hop  on SATURDAY    June  20 

Lori our host is not well at the moment so send her some healing thoughts !!
Maybe the date will be changed but I have not heard anything about that yet!!




(or stones)

I have not made much yet as overwhelmed by the garden and house (needs painting here and there) ....
But I think I will pick some favos from the stash to work with :-)


(who does not need bone)
Still some listings to do on Etsy and cleaning of the working space before  making the jewelry ...


( I think I lost a bit control over my stash when starting making those ceramic beads)  piling up !!



(Guess I need some cord to pull it all together ;-o)

Also there will be a sale when the blog hop is ON so keep an eye in my shops 


much love
Birgitta
