Creative: Pretty in Purple Pearls

There is this bead shop that I really love. The only problem, it's in Oklahoma. Lucky for me, bad for my wallet, it was only a few blocks from the house I grew up in. Any time I make it back to Oklahoma I make a list of places and people. The Bead Merchant is always at the top of my list. They have such a unique selection of beads. The place is still bad for my wallet. Now, it's even worse because I want to buy everything. I always find a bunch of great beads and then consolidate at the end. I suffer from extreme buyers remorse. It's the only way that I can justify what I do. Here are some of my latest creations with beads from my favorite shop. 





This one was inspired by this one. (I'm not sure why it turned out sideways.)

And then some earrings I made over the weekend.
