Beautiful Jewelery from Xpressions
- White Turquoise & Silver Links Necklace: Lovely necklace is very neutral and will compliment just about anything you wear. I used three different sized links for this necklace to give it alot of visual appeal. White turquoise coin beads were added between the links and a trapazoid briolette completed the look……a small heart charm and a citrine glass bead give it bit of romantic whimsy.
- Blue Scroll Lampwork Necklace: Vintaj peanut link chain is complimented with a lovely floral wreath ring and finished off with an oval lampwork pendant. Small yellow turquoise beads and brass charms give this necklace some whimsey.
- Black Onyx and Gunmetal Link Necklace: A variety of black onyx shapes and gunmetal rope links make up this fabulous necklace. The oval pendant has been embellished with a lovely antique silver filigree and flower. A swarovski crystal flatback sits in the middle for some extra sparkle and gleam.
- Clear Faceted Crystal Earrings: These earrings are full of sparkle and elegance and would be the perfect wedding day compliment. Beautiful 12mm swarovski crystals are accented with two types of silver ox bead caps, 5mm Swarovski bicones and folded antique silver connectors.

Seriously Awesome Clothing from Sew Ninja
I’ve been having such a hard time picking which sweater I love best over at Sew Ninja. It isn’t easy to create clothing that is cozy and unique at the same time. Usually you have to sort of choose one over the other, but not here. Go take a look at the Sew Ninja etsy shop, and you’ll see for yourself!

Cuffs are pleated to add an elegant feel. Back center pleat. Screen printed with a damask skull in turquoise ink. Stainless steel snap front closure. Patch pockets are detailed with lime green spiral and turquoise leaf embroidery.
- Rinnegan Jacket: Rinnegan is in reference to the all seeing eye in ninja folklore. This jacket is Anime inspired. Made of cotton/poly lightweight jogging fleece in racy red. The back is my favorite part and I had a lot of fun making it! It is an abstract all seeing eye pattern cut out with an underlay of plaid suiting in charcoal grey and black houndstooth plaid with a hint of silver. Collar is made of the same fabric. Empire waist. Center pleat detail on back and cuffs. Silver pearl stainless steel snap front closure. OOAK. One of a kind!
