New Bracelet

Just finished this bracelet yesterday.  I used 11/0 seed beads in a champagne color, 3mm czech glass (70) and 4mm czech glass (70).  I am very pleased with how it came out.  Somehow it reminds me of the beach.  The sand, waves & colors found there.  I am not prone to using such soft color but this combination had a calming effect on me.


Hope you like it.

    I think this pattern would work well with different colors also. In person it reminds me do the beach with sparkly sand & pastel shell colors in aqua shades. It was made from a Korean pattern ....Nice to meet you and thank you for your comments please stop by again ...

Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal

It was my pleasure to be partnered with Jean A. Wells please be sure to check out her blog for some amazing pieces! Jean sent me some lovely ingredients for my soup. Here is her winning recipe. 1 handmade pendant created by the very talented Kylie Parry , 25 Brown Sugar beads, 1Fancy Floral Clasp, 1 Green Jasper Nugget, 6 10 mm wood roundelles, 2 Green Picasso Czech Bicone Beads, 5 Dark Forest Porcelain Beads by Ingrid, 8 8mm Fire Polish Topaz Beads and 8 8mm Topaz Crackle Beads. Here is what I created using her recipe. I hope you enjoy it. First for the bracelet here I drilled a second hole in the pendant made by Kylie Parry, I made a copper spiral which I then covered with some lovely fiber that is meant to be doll hair. I did a right angle weave with an assortment of the beads from my soup along with some Czech fire polish from my own collection. I made a little pair of earrings to match shown further below. The bracelet below was created with beads from the soup with the additi...

I am really happy to be a part of this challenge hosted by Sally Russick. Please visit her blog at The Studio Sublime Normally my work tends to be in contrasting color schemes rather than monochromatic shcemes. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a piece in varying shades of ORANGE!! I,love Orange it shouts out loud! What's your favorite crayon color? Be sure to look for your favorite color on Sally's blog where you will find a lot of very talented artists for your blog hopping pleasure! I call this "out of the swamp" any members of the "Gator Nation" out there? Since I used rather generic findings for the clasp, I dressed it up with a little Gator. The faceted rondelles were purchased from Lydia at Beedtime Bead Shop here in Ocala. The Preciosa crystals were acquired at Birdsong Beads in Andrews, NC on one of out many trips up to Murphy. There was no pattern for this bracelet, I just started beading in a right angle weave sort of way with some additi...
