New Bracelet!

It's been a productive week for me and I'm proud to show off some of my newest pieces:


Emerald Flower Garden Bracelet: It's been at least a year since I last made one of these. A fun flower garden style bracelet full of lucite flowers, Swarovski crystals and hill tribe fine silver beads. I listed it for sale on etsy.

Then we have a fun little set of rounds. Spring colors, all etched with opaque cores. I don't know what came over me, but I just had to make this little set with fun dot patterns. I tried some new raking techniques and was quite happy with the results.

Then I have a couple more focals, all available on ebay:I'm very excited about a new product I should have ready soon. More on that in the coming weeks. Tomorrow - Garden update! See you all tomorrow at the Last Friday Artwalk.

New Beads for Ebay & Double Sided Cuff Links - 12/30/08

Atlantis - This is my favorite bead from the past few weeks. It has a lovely green core that glows through the transparent core. A few stripes of goldstone give a lovely accent and the clear encasing really makes this beads sparkle.
Burnt Starlight: A lovely organic bead in red roof tile with lots of silver & enamels. Dark silver plum shards on the surface.
Sapphire Jewels: A fun focal with a periwinkle base, blue "jewels" and goldstone lines. The encasing is thick and pressed into a loose gem cut facets. It's a very neat effect on the bead magnifying it at all angles.Tweed Double-Sided Cuff Links: This is the second pair of double-sided cuff links I've made as a custom order. I'll have to start adding them to my etsy shop. I'm very pleased with the way the turned out. The pieces are connected via a piece of thick silver-plated chain.

New Product - Cabachons

A new product for me, I'll start putting this up in etsy shop tomorrow. They're fairly large cabs, most are made from one-half of my regular 1 1/4" straight-sided lentil beads. Here are a few my favorites:

Cufflinks

I've been having a lot of fun making these lately:

They're silver-plated cuff links with glass cabs affixed to the front. They got a lot of attention during the Last Friday Artwalk . They're a wonderful way to bring a little color and fun to your wardrobe.



I originally designed a pair for Zac. I've been trying desperately to decorate him in some manner and ever since we stopped being 17, he felt comfortable telling me that he had no desire to wear any jewelry. Ever. So I stewed quietly, biding my time. I originally made him another pair, but when I stuck this pair in my etsy shop, he snagged them and I had to make two pairs.
