The leather cord charm necklace & earrings really stood out to me, and the faceted pearl earrings with Kristi Bowman's components are so beautiful - the copper and pearls perfectly suit each other.

I'm glad you are coming back to check out the pearls information. I'm going to be re-doing my PEARLS page here on the blog with better info and permanent links in the near future. One of my 'missions' in life is to "Spread the LOVE" of pearls - so hopefully I've done a bit of that w/this hop. I'm so glad you had your 'design altering experience', too. It's always amazing when we have an 'ah-ha' moment or make a realization about our 'style' - of which I'm a huge fan of yours, by the way! ;-)Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087293577550452789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436550535995544186.post-41146931779652993422013-09-15T09:53:58.366-05:002013-09-15T09:53:58.366-05:00Thanks Therese.

I love Sleeping Beauty Turquoise too and try to snatch up a strand or two each time I go to the Tucson gem show. The mine has officially closed and been sold and the rumors are that the current owners will only be mining copper (more money in copper than turquoise) and we'll probably not see anymore new sleeping beauty turquoise - so I'm going to get what's out there while I can still afford it, which won't be much longer, let me tell you!! :-) Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087293577550452789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436550535995544186.post-44555654925675407942013-09-15T09:47:34.079-05:002013-09-15T09:47:34.079-05:00Oh Linda, thanks for your wonderful compliments, t...Oh Linda, thanks for your wonderful compliments, they mean the world! (I'm a huge fan of your work!!) Pearls are definitely my 'signature' - if there's a signature to be had. And, those earrings - I hoard Kristi's components like there's no tomorrow - almost like I hoard some of my more precious pearls. I'm going to have to make more of those because I believe my sister is snatching those up! (she gets all my good stuff!).

Pearls are just so amazing (to me, anyway!) and I'm glad you have stretched your ideas on stringing materials - that's awesome.
