Jewelry Making 101

I have been interested in learning how to make jewelry, but really didn't know where to start. I found out over Christmas that my sister-in-law had recently been taught how to do some basic jewelry making. She taught me how to use crimp beads and how to put a clasp on the end of wire. After sharing this new information with my mother, she bought me a sack full of jewelry stuff for Christmas. Here are a few things I have already put together.

I made this bracelet for my mother.

I made these blue earrings to wear with my blue scrubs at work.

I needed a new black necklace that I can string different dropped decorative things off of and made earrings with zebra print to match.

I made this necklace with the remaining zebra jewels, but it came out more like a choker...I am going to restring it on a longer line.
MORE TO COME!!
