wearable art jewelry

This time last week my family and I were at the happiest place on earth – Disneyland! And, as commanded by every ‘cast’ member we encountered there, we truly had a *magical day* the entire time we were there. For us Disneyland is the perfect stay-cation getaway in SoCal! 😀

Here’s a quick peek at the view from our hotel room (notice Mickey in the shrubbery toward the bottom of the photo):

And here’s a picture of a Disney-cat! There are dozens of cats that live on the DL property year round.This little guy was just a kitten and curled up next to us by the pool one night. Such a cutie!

When I got home it was time to get back to work (never easy after a vacation) but inspiration struck and I came up with these new beads: 😀

Barnacles - pendant necklace — BARNACLES – pendant necklace

Garden Party - bead pendant — GARDEN PARTY – pendant necklace

Godiva - bicone focal — GODIVA – bicone focal

Sweet Pea - pendant necklace — SWEETPEA – pendant necklace

Tidepool - pendant necklace — TIDEPOOL – pendant necklace

The fun continues! I have spent the past few years creating lots of round beads so I’m still working my way through recreating many of those same bead designs, making them into my new Gazing Ball lampwork bead necklaces. And, as sometimes happens, inspiration hits and I end up creating new bead designs I hadn’t even thought of yet 😀

Here are this week’s ‘Gazing Ball’ lampwork glass bead pendant necklaces:
