Wee Gems Designs

Follow my blog here: http://weegemsdesigns.blogspot.com/ My name is Kari Carrigan, and I create Wee Gems jewelry and beads.

I have been designing for just about 9 years now, and have loved the journey it has taken me on. I use only the finest materials from around the world in my designs such as freshwater pearls, Sterling silver, Swarovski crystal, and of course my own lampwork beads created with Italian and American glass. Each lampwork bead is created one at a time in my home studio. Every piece of my jewelry and beads has a piece of my creative artistry and is a piece that can be treasured for years to come.

Yesterday, I went with Daylyn Rose Photography for a photoshoot at Gold Creek Canyon. I was able to do a little shoot of my own, glass loves light, and it was perfect there!

Not as fun as making beads, but I do love putting the finished earrings on the earring cards. Just a few more dozen to make.

I fired up the torch and melted glass all day. The kiln is full of hearts. 💕

Just got my silver wire in, and am getting it all cut up up to make my headpins. What are you doing tonight?

Falling leaves, colder days, and caramel apples...that says Fall to me!

Did you know today was National Read a Book Day? I listen to audio books while I make beads, and am currently listening to the Harry Potter Series again. Who else gets their reading in through audio books?
