I AM a Suburban Girl!

 Yes Yes Yes I am!!!  I love everything I have and have used that has been created by the amazing, talented, twisted (you all know it is true) sweet, generous and hysterical Diana of Suburban Girl Studio! From the very first time I touched one of these beads I was hooked!  And since I have a nice little stash of them I have to tell you when ever I look to make a new project I go there first.  They have their own little box you know.  Now even when I am shopping for seeds I check to make sure I have the right colors for them.  And now I have 2 go to pieces that match just about anything I have to give me that extra pick me up. 
 
This time around Diana gave me a special piece.  A cabochon.  Yep special for me or a challenge which ever I love love love it. 
Here is Past Peak.......
 
 
Here is the close up of the pendant.....
 
 
Now I have to tell you the coolest surprise was also included this month. An amazing wire clasp made by our very own Michelle of Mishel Designs.  So now I am also totally in love with Michelle's work too!  This clasp was awesome to work with!!!  I want MORE!!!
 
Oh and I did reveal this the other day for the Art Jewelry Elements Component of the month reveal but doesn't it match perfectly?
 
Now be sure to hop over to see what everyone else has done but just in case Sandra's power does not come back on be sure to check back with her at a later date (and send her power restoring thoughts)
 
 
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Diana for letting me play along!  This is a pleasure and addiction I never ever want a cure for!!!!
 
Hugs and Blessings

  10. Hi Kristen,
    Beautiful, I love what you did what you did with the cab by mimicing the vains of the leaf very nice touch. The rope is awesome. I agree the necklace and bracelet go very well with each other, nice set.

  15. I, too, love the affect you made with the weaving over the cab, mimicing (sp?) the leaf and twig shape - that is so pretty! Gorgeous with the bracelet! Really beautiful pieces!
