purple feathers, purple cracked glass beads, long silver tube beads, diamond shaped findings, purple 4mm Swarovski bicones, silver ear wires

What was your inspiration?

I had the feathers on hand from another project when I bought the purple glass beads at a craft store - was so excited to see how well they blended!

What are you most proud of?

Well, they are my favorite color - just sayin'!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Sometimes seemingly random beads and findings will find each other if you leave them laying on your workbench long enough.............

Sometimes I buy jewelry at outlet stores, thrift shops, etc. and cut it up. These feathers were originally on a pair of earrings. I took the feathers and added the purple beads and a new finding. Hobby Lobby has colored feathers, also.

Beautiful! Where did you get the solid colored feathers from? I've been looking for ones like that for my daughter.

Thanks, girls, for your comments. I'm a purple fanatic! I have to be careful not to make TOO much purple jewelry! I also love lime green and especially grey this winter.
