Just A Touch of Oriental...

beautiful fashion layout 
from Elle Sweden, July 2011

































please notice the appliques of the flowers...pretty awesome


sorry, ladies, don't know the designer of the apparel,
but I would love to,
the styling definitely appeals to me.



we had a huge gem show exhibition here in Houston
over the weekend.  one of my girlfriends went with me
(her 1st time), and to say the least, it is overwhelming by it's
sheer size.

I am so happy to report that this time there was some new
merchandise, beads, stringing materials, wire, gold & silver "findings"
(the little elements we use to make everything hook together).

 I found some beautiful gorgeous
large millimeter stones in Amazonite (a blue-gray),
a deep purple like Amethyst and a dusty pink dyed Jasper with gray flecks.

All for Fall & Evening coming up.

Of course, my girlfriend left the show with about 50 lbs of
beads she couldn't live without; now we'll have to find a 
way to make something for her.  :)'s

So, it was a good weekend.

 



Happy Monday

    Morning Marsha! This is one of my favourite posts ever. I just love all the detail in the photos apart from the gorgeous outfits. They will be going into my special "Splenderosa Inspiration Board" How about the applique on that skirt? The time it must have taken! It is soooo stunning...Looking forward to your new creations with your finds at the show. My all time favourite was that necklace that you made with the blue and brown stones...

    Love from CT

    Oh, the Jewelry Show--how much fun is that, and I don't even make my own jewelry (wish I did though!) I spent way too much money last time I went, but it sure was fun!!!

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
