Amethyst Blossom Vine pendant



This is what I do on quiet, rainy Friday evenings since I'm not dating.  I was half-watching a Ninja Gaiden walkthrough, letting my hands tease ideas from my brain for the pendants I have lying around.  Throw in a batch of homemade popcorn, a glass of milk, and a cat for company and, well, this was the result.
This pendant is a nice piece of amethyst, wrapped with a tarnish-resistant brass wire vine and Swarovski bicone "buds", accompanied by pressed glass leaves.  I didn't follow a guide, or any photo for inspiration, just let it tell me what it wanted to be.

Spring Vine bracelet



Made this with my Aunt in mind today.  She had a very rough day and I was her pep talker.  I thought about her all day, and kept thinking about these beautiful amethyst nuggets I had waiting for a special project.  I came home after work with the intent to use them...only I had no idea for what, which has happened multiple times.  Then, just as I'm getting ready for bed due to a freakishly early morning at work tomorrow, inspiration hit and this is the result.



 
Name:  Spring Vine

Amethyst Dreams Necklace

This is one of the pieces I've duplicated the most.  The first I made for my sister for her bithday about two years ago.  I liked it so much I made one for myself, then got so many comments on it I made a third and posted it on Etsy.  It sold almost immediately.  It's a great necklace to show the versitility of seed beads, amethyst, and simple white rice pearls.  My copy is 15" long, but I believe my sister's and the Etsy sale were about 17".



Name:  Amethyst Dreams

Price:  $15 (have made 3: 1 custom project for my sister, 1 for personal collection, 1 sold on Etsy in 2009).

Length:  15" to 17"
