Happy Holidays!

We are so blessed~ Thank you friends and family for ordering and purchasing jewelry from REvangeline Designs. No posts recently, but I have been busy learning new techniques and creating new pieces.

I recently posted at the Art Bead Scene's monthly challenge in November. The theme was Coffee Haus. THEN to my surprise, I was honored to be featured in As the Bead Turns.

Make Coffee, Not War


More to follow later!! I will uploading some presents given and designs for sale!

Best Wishes for a lovely holiday!

There Are Amazing People Among Us!

When I began this blog I wanted to celebrate other people who are amazing and do good things for their families and other people. I also wanted to post their goodies too! Holly, a lifelong friend, inspires me. She is a teacher, mother of two, and the wife of a police officer. She taught me how to crimp a bead. She gave me my very first handmade and supremely special mother's bracelet. She also sits on the Relay for Life committee at her school and made these beady favorites to raise money to help fight Cancer. They are always for sale on this site!
$15.00
All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.

For Sale: Each $15.00

A Fall pendant. I got this from Darla @ Darla's Designs. Her beads are very unique and natural and comfy to wear. It is hard to see in this photo, but the swirly stringer is copper. It is bright and pretty. The leaf is glass, the brown seed beads are copper brown, and the round black beads are onyx.



Shelly

Picasso turquoise and caramel trumpets. These are super feminine.




This and That


Glass by Melanie Egan and random beads- my favorite kind of creation! When I was in Elementary school, we adopted a manatee named, Phoebe. It left quite an impression on me. I added Phoebe on here thinking of that.


Various lanyards for teacher IDs- Thanks Titusville Gals!

GO Hoosiers! A removable team charm to make this 2 bracelets in one.



G-Ma's bracelet.

These are some pieces of jewelry that I have been working on the last couple weeks for some folks.

Did I tell you this?

I sometimes, crash test the jewelry I make. It's true I wear it and make sure it's just right. So today I wore the random hoops with the pearls dangling from them- 4 compliments!! I am SO very pleased with myself.

TGIF

Sea glass is a pleasure to work with. Authentic sea glass is even cooler. It just tumbles around the sea until it delivers itself to you on the beach. I have wrapped and SOLD a few pendants, but have never made any bracelets with it. I have been asked to design some jewelry for my sister-in-law. HOW COOL! Thanks Jill. :)

Trinkets on the horizon: Pirate and skull lampwork beads from Melanie Egan, killer tiny, round turquoise, some farm animal beads by Rommy and a watch. If you would like to know when I POST new goods, let me know @ rachel.simpson@gmail.com
