Vampire Jewelry Blog Hop

The Musings of Mystic Pesto is hosting a fun blog hop with 'Vampire Jewelry' as the theme!  Awesome, yes!??  I think so.

When I first read about it, I was immediately drawn in because the header for my new blog features a bracelet that is RED and BLACK!  I think it was a sample that I made for someone who wanted to see a few things in those colors.  I still have it since it's a bit longer (8 1/4") than the average size bracelet so I might have to restring it... maybe even for myself .... shhh!

As far as vampires go, I think Anne Rice has written many awesome books on them.  Her characters are dark and sensual.  She brings horror to you in a very erotic way.  I haven't read everything in Rice's collection but I do have quite a few books of hers tucked away in my bookcases for when I'm ready to delve back into that sinful decadence again......

The following bracelet is new to my collection!!  I recently started doing birthstone color jewelry and this matches a pair of earrings I just highlighted in a post for January's theme of Garnet.  I wasn't thinking about vampires when I made those earrings but they would definitely work for the bloodsucker theme.  
The larger glass beads are red but in some lighting they almost look black.  I think a vampire would wear this piece, don't you?!  


Here's another bracelet with black onyx beads, Swarovski crystals, a few seed beads and Sterling silver spacers.     


These necklaces were in my craft case and will be going with me to a few upcoming fairs.  Since they seemed to fit in with the red/black vampire colors,  I took new themey photos ..... 





It was alot of fun to participate with this theme.  If you want to see what wonderful pieces others have posted go right over to The Musings of Mystic Pesto and click on those links!!

  2. Ooooo! I think that first necklace is my favorite. The pendant is perfect for the theme, like a vial of blood or something.
