Amber Dawn's Bead Hoarders Blog Hop Submissions

These are some beads which have previously been "hoarded." (Collected!)
Swarovski's, lampwork glass beads, polymer clay beads, drusies/druzys and faceted glass balls.
 This collection of beads, will no longer be hoarded though- they will now be worn!

 I made the polymer clay beads for fun with no actual project in mind for them,
and so, they sat unused, for years. I made the following pieces of jewelry, last night, at the last minute. (It's been such a busy month- in a good way- lots of work and deadlines so I squeezed this event in at the last possible moment!

Thanks, Lori Anderson, for coming up with the idea for this blog hop- to use beads that have been hoarded and collected- forcing/encouraging/inspiring us to give the beads a purpose and a venue to be enjoyed and admired.

Bracelet- Polymer clay cherry blossom tree branch with snowflakes, bird and embellishments on a heart, studded with Swarovski crystal rhinestones, purple polymer clay leafy pod beads, flowery lampwork beads and faceted glass disco ball beads.

Earrings-

Polymer clay frosting flower beads with Swarovski rhinestones

 and wire wrapped druzies/druzys.

Bracelet- Live Your Life As Free As a Bird

Swarovski flowers and rounds and a polymer clay bird bead.

Bracelet- "Pthhhh"

 Swarovski stars, bicones and rounds and a polymer clay cartoon bead.

                                 

Thank you for visiting to see what I've put together at the very last minute! ;)
