Maybe one more

These turquoise tabs turned out quite nice. I have a nice barrel shaped bead that goes on a choker and matches this. I just don't have time to photograph everything. So use your imagination!

Getting close to a melt down....

Here is a piece I really love... Framed Heart on black leather 18" neck cord. The frame is black onyx.
These are all focal beads on sterling silver chokers 16" prices vary from $50

4 bracelets today

Busy day, made earrings too, but still have more beads that want to be made into beautiful things too.

More Purple is always good!

I have much to learn about the photo editing. I can't get a true purple in the image. The crystals and the glass are much more colourful then they appear here.

One more from last night

This turned out very nice. The frit I used was called 'aphrodisiac'. Hmmm, maybe that is why I made enough beads for 2 bracelets. The crystals are some colour called Ernite. I have no idea what that is but it accents some of the green blue bits in the beads.

White Blossoms

I am getting slower... I need to make another 7 or 8 bracelets. Oy! This one turned out kinda nice!

6 days left... not panicking

I loved making these beads! Then I didn't know what to do with them. So here is a kinda offbeat bracelet that looks like a curious mix of beads and silver.

Last one tonight for tomorrow we torch!

This is a lovely set of beads that I will be sad to part with, as I am certain someone else will be attracted to the warm tones and flat smooth feel of these. I reworked this bracelet as the earlier design had a square toggle that would not stay securely fastened. Good thing I discovered that before the sale! Also I changed the crystals from Khaki to Chrysolite and Montana.

The sale is in 8 days .....eeeeeeeekkk!

Here is 'a' bracelet and pendant. I have been working all day. Really. I made some cell phone charms and some earrings. Went for a walk and delivered more brochures for our sale. Very cold and windy. Glad to back inside where it is warm and the chair at my work bench is waiting.

Aqua Swirl

Okay, there are 10 days left before the sale and I have many many more pieces to create. Yikes!! Inspiration can't come soon enough.

New bracelet - Rubino Star

Another new bracelet - Red Blossoms

New bracelet - Venato

A Pendant

Just playing around one day and made this. Decided it should become something lovely and here it is.

Countdown to April 14 - 13 days remain

Three bracelets from 2 weeks ago. I have been trying to work a little each day or a lot every weekend and get jewelry made so I am not burning the midnight oil the week before the sale. After I make the pieces I always say "take a picture!!!" This seems like even more work, but once they are sold, they are gone. My precious! These have been made using a frit called Iris Orange. It does a really cool reduction in the flame and if you get it right you get the blues and lavender tones. Some are better than others but the overall effect is nice I think.

I have more bracelets I could photograph but am waiting to get more done to photograph in a group. I'll post as soon as I can.
