Kansas in July…. a time for big yellow sunflowers with bright green leaves, amber waves of grain with the beautiful wheat fields, and fields of green corn (sweet and field corn). To capture the colors of Kansas in a new piece of jewelry, I created my “sunflower” necklace using items from my favorite bead supplier… Artbeads.
For my inspiration piece, I chose the beautiful Stoneware Rectangle Pendant – Sunflowers.
Stoneware Pendant - Sunflowers
I then needed something for the “petals”. I found the perfect bead with some Flat Teardrop Pendant beads in amber. To compliment the amber and yellow, I wanted a pretty green bead for more color for my piece. I just love the Wasabi beads that Artbeads has, and I found some beautiful Wasabi luster glass brick beads that worked perfectly!
Sunflower Necklace
I couldn’t decide how I wanted to attach the teardrop pendants to the necklace at first, and then I remembered that I had a huge bag of vintage sterling silver bails that my Mom used to sell at her antique shop (she carried native American jewelry in her shop in addition to some silversmith supplies). They were just what I need to attach the teardrops. I also wanted to add some brown tones to the necklace, and found some rectangle Tiger Eye beads leftover from a previous project. They work well with the new Artbeads components that I was using for this Sunflower necklace, and with a few small seed beads for accent, I started my work.
The result is this “Sunflower Necklace”. I think it reflects the beautiful colors found in Kansas in July… what do you think?

This Weeks Featured Artisan is Creations with Heart
I truly enjoy creating jewelry and it\’s a bonus and a pleasure to make it available to you!
I love to create classic and western jewelry that will always fit your style! Gemstones, crystals, pewter and leather are just a few materials I enjoy working with. I\’m a \”dog mom\” so including animals in some of my creations is a must — I love them so much! A percentage of all animal related purchases is donated to help the animals. It\’s something I like to do to help our furry friends that need and depend on us.
You\’ll see jewelry styles ranging from classic, animal themed, southwest, western and inspirational. My wish is to have my guests smile when they put my jewelry on. When you smile, you feel good!
I hope you enjoy the jewelry I\’ve created and may it bring you joy and happiness

Finding Charm
I started making jewelry because I had outfits I just couldn’t find that perfect piece to go with. So I thought I’d buy some beads and give it a try. I was hooked, it’s almost an addiction! It’s important to me that I create charming pieces that don’t break the bank. I started getting compliments and requests and decided I should help others in their journey of finding charm.
