Sometimes I add even more--like petite charms or dangles to the chain parts. I spend a lot of time fixating on the clasps of this type of design cause my omnipresent fear is that I will get a call from a customer who will inform me that something of mine broke. Blargh! That is why I prefer wiring everything!!! <br />My jewelry inspiration comes to me suddenly, from a fantasy, or fancy, in my head. If I see a particular bead, I build around it. If I have the time, the other thing I do is surf the net and check out what products are new at my favorite places but boy have I been busy! <--I am still having a hard time learning to use the term "Crystalized Elements" instead of Swarovski, which I used to misspell anyway, even in my Beading column. Speaking of which, would you please email me? thanks, and have a good Sunday!<br /><br />jean xoxJean Katherine Baldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497992193034414806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934854770180589403.post-82307735888344078482009-10-18T09:35:17.346-04:002009-10-18T09:35:17.346-04:00I love all things eclectic and colorful.

It's always hard to gauge size in a photo. I like bracelets especially if they're noisy, it just feels so feminine. Then again, necklaces please me when I do a mirror check - heck I guess I love anything! Super blog.cleobytheseaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203708619119849353noreply@blogger.com
