Drusy Design Idea from Designer Kay








This is an amazing necklace, earring set. Kay loves to use unique items to make her jewelry. This set is no exception.



There are 60 year old Swarovski Crystals, a sparkling Opalite Drusy center focal, freshwater pearls, and 14K gold filled metal.









The centerpiece of this necklace is a sparkling fine drusy bead. (You can find drusy cabochons that you can wire wrap for a focal). The surface is like a thousand little diamonds. Kay has outlined the drusy focal with Swarovski rondelles on a wire on the left and stems of pearls with Swarovski rondelles on the right and bottom, connected to jump rings to the main part of the necklace.










The necklace is made in a linking fashion using 14K gold filled jump rings and wire.the crystal and pearls are strung on wire and connected to the rest of the necklace with jump rings.





The back is finished with a 14k gold filled Lobster claw and is adjustable from 17 1/2' to 19 1/2".




Generally this necklace is made with a wire linking method. If you need more instruction on this method of making necklaces, Kay has a DVD called Wire Linked Necklaces #5 and Advanced Wire Linking #6.

Have you lost your creativity?

As an Indie artist, sometimes it's hard to get inspired to get up in the morning and start producing new items. So what can you do to get motivated and inspired?

Recently, I turned on the Food network and after watching a few shows I started pulling out the pots and pans and began cooking up a storm. Sometimes you just need to change your routine to get new inspiration.

There are a multitude of places where you can go to get new inspiration. As I mentioned, you can watch programs on television. You can also look in magazines or surf the internet for inspiration. It isn't wrong to look at what others are doing to get inspiration. There are people that try to make exact copies of what they see but exposing yourself to different ideas can give you a place to start a project that you can add your own creative personality to and make something uniquely yours.

If you come to a place where you feel your creativity is low, don't be discouraged. Change your routine. Pick your head up, look around, and get inspiration from what others are doing.
