Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! blog hop hosted by the talented Shel from MiShel Designs!



The rules are simple: use natural or otherwise (glass, vintage acrylic, etc.) pearls in your design and link to your supplier so everyone can know where to find them.

Here's what I made:

The first piece is a bracelet made using glass and blister pearls, all from Michael's:


I used slate colored waxed linen from Lima Beads as my stringing material, and a beautiful mother-of-pearl button from JustButtonMe on Etsy. 


I love the purple tones in the blister pearls, and how those tones are echoed by the button.


I decided to make some earrings to go with the bracelet using the same materials and some small silver-plated hoops:
