Once again Lisa has challenged up to step out of our box and create. I tried stepping out of my box but with being a tax preparer I have been so busy I wasn't able to step out much...but here goes
Once again I forgot to take beginning pictures of the great beads Lisa sent. I really need to get in the habit of taking them..but for my first piece the beads just seem to scream bracelet so that is what I made with matching earrings. Far be it for me to argue with the bead! I do think the lobster claw is to big...so I am going to have to find another one a bit smaller.
This second one is a bracelet too, but my daughter came up with this design. Again, I am going to have to get a smaller lobster claw.. I think I may try to move the beads closer together too.
And last, a necklace. I really like this one as it is fairly simple and almost monochromatic. I also didn't realize til it was to late the clasp was photographed upside down...lol.
So there you have it...my offerings for this wonderful Jasper Blog Hop.
For more inspiration hop over to Lisa Lodge Grateful Artist
Our next challenge is on April 25 called Hurray For Spring. I can't wait. so come on back on the 25th for more goodies.

Chunky, funky and oh so fun. Hit a homerun on these!!! I am not even a tax preparer and I cringed when you mentioned that - spent countless hours figuring two Fed and two State returns!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really enjoyed the funky chunky look this time. Good times with taxes...with the laws changing every year it is quite the battle, but I enjoy it.
DeleteSuch pretty creations! I especially love the chunky second bracelet! Your daughter gave good advice. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you...yes my daughter is a chip off the ole block..lol.
DeleteI absolutely adore your pieces...Great job. I wouldn't change the clasps on the bracelets if they were mine because the stones are heavy and chunky and I think that a smaller clasp might look unbalanced, but that is just my thoughts....I would love to sport both the beauties on my wrists...I love the look with the chain and stones together. The way the chain is done at the ends to extend the length also is PERFECT and I think I will be using this technique in future pieces of my own. The necklace is gorgeous also...I ALWAYS ENJOY seeing your work!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us. (mine will post this afternoon-currently headed to an Easter play to see 6 of our Great nieces and nephews perform)...
ReplyDeleteThank you. Hoping to get around to everyone today. First day I have had free to look around...
DeleteI love your pieces, and especially your bracelets, they're so cool. You made such a creative use of the beads.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteJust love those bracelets especially the first one. I don't think that I would change the clasps though as I tend to prefer the larger ones and they balance the stones so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes I think I may leave the bigger on on the more chunky bracelet.
DeleteHi Veralynne,
ReplyDeleteI love your creations. I do agree the lobster claw clasps are beautiful, but a bit to large for your bracelets. I think your necklace is so pretty.

Good job Vera. The green bracelet is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThank you...Yes I like the green too. May keep it for my self!
DeleteHappy, chunky, stylish pieces, Veralynne! Great job. Thanks for being in the hop!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Enjoyed it!
DeleteHi Veralynne! I'm so glad I hopped-over to your blog...and found more pics of your Jasper pieces! The closure to the green multi-strand jasper bracelet is very neat! Still loving that big chunky stone version, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks...just now getting to hop around to everyone else's.
DeleteLooks like it was a fun challenge. I know what you mean about forgetting to take a picture of the look until it's too late. I get too excited myself sometimes and forget to take that minute to do it. I like both your bracelet designs, especially that second one your daughter came up with. She's got it in her too I think!! Great job (both of you!)!
