It’s officially October people, so I’m kicking off the month with a quick Halloween Jewelry project!  I love October.  My husband and I got up super early to go to the store for a few things, including some pumpkins.  We found some with long stems.   Is it me, or is a pumpkin without a stem a little bit sad looking?
For this necklace, I used JesseJamesBeads.com bead mix in strands and funky singles along with that sassy black chain.  The “bones” of the necklaces are connected with black Beadalon wire and gunmetal crimps.  Take a peek!
Use this tutorial if you’re new to stringing beads on wire.  It will show you how to crimp, connecting the wire to the chain.

Lately, I seem to be stuck on making slip-over-the-head necklaces and I made them two different lengths so I could wear them together.  This striped bead in the next picture is one of my very favorites.
So, I’ve got a pretty big to-do list that’s calling my name.  Top secret projects await.  Don’t you hate teasers?  😉  You’re going to love this surprise though!  

On another note:  Tomorrow our children’s gallery, the Wabash White House (I know, I still need to post about this special little place!) is open from 5 to 8 pm for First Friday in Wabash.  If you’re local, come get in the Halloween spirit with us!
