Saddle Mountain Beadwork

Today's Sea Stars of the Week are:

Teal + Cream Sea Stars

They feature vintage faceted teal glass beads at the end of each leg that I inherited from my grandmother's bead collection. They are also one of the first Sea Star color combos that I created. To this day, they remain a personal favorite.

Two pairs are available now at

I really, really love both these earrings and these photos of them.

I know that Instagram has been pushing videos over photos for years now.

But often I miss being able to pause and admire the thoughtful details in artists' work. It's so hard to do that when watching a video.

So, here are some photos for those of you who also appreciate being able to pause and ponder. 🥰

Sea Stars of the Week: Tropical Yellow

I have so many different sea star color combinations, and they don't all directly correlate to my Signature Ombré color palettes. Because of this, I just have sea stars piling up waiting for their turn in the spotlight.

To remedy this, I'm starting a new series where I feature a different Sea Star earrings each week. This week:

✨️⭐️🌟Tropical Yellow Sea Stars🌟⭐️✨️

One pair still available now at

Tbh, I think this is the one of just two times I've used yellow seed beads 🙈🙈 They are so bright- the color isn't one I am typically drawn to when creating color palettes.

However, I absolutely LOVE how the yellow pops with these Tropical Yellow Sea Stars.

While I continue to stack up a growing pile of new beadwork designs that hopefully some day will make it on my website, I happened to look back on previous fall designs.

I really love these 3D curly vine pumpkins that I've made the past couple of years! I also have a cute candy corn design and fall color palettes that I love for my classic earring styles.

At this time, remaking some of my previous fall designs is feeling fun. But before I decide if I should, I'd love to know:

Is anyone interested in a pumpkin pre-order??

🔸️☀️🔸️Oregon Coast Agate Earrings🔸️☀️🔸️

Each of these cute little earrings fit on a dime. They are so small!

Finding two natural agates close enough in size and shape to make a pair of earrings isn't easy. Even though I have jars and harsh full of agates that I've collected right out side my apartment door the last five years, I've only matched up eight pairs to make into earrings.

I am wondering if I should use some beautiful solo agates into pendants. What do you think?

Teal + Topaz Sunsets in two sizes- which do you prefer?

This Signature Ombré color palette is available now in both of these Sunset sizes.

My business is handmade- from the earrings all the way to the packaging. And I love the customization that this provides me!

I folded up these earrings pouches earlier this week to pack up all the orders from the 20% off sale over the weekend. I absolutely love these four paper designs for the pouches. They feel on brand and unique to me.

Which one is your favorite?
