A Couple More Photos of Recent Earrings...

These new earrings will be added to my Etsy shop soon.

I Finally Got A Chance to Take some New Photos...

It's been a busy time of year... So I finally got a couple of photos done of some new items. These colors seem to be really popular with folks.

This New Lapis Trio Bracelet...

was made for Candles & Creations. An awesome Craft and Gift Shop in my area in South Burlington, it's in the Blue Mall on Dorset Street if your from the area.

Some New Rings I'm trying out...

We'll see if people like these styles. One is call "Starburst" and the other is a "Petit Doily". They are both created using beadweaving techniques, Peyote, fringing, and circular brick stitch. Let me know what you think...

This is a new Necklace I designed for my friend who is going be celebrating her birthday soon. It should go with a bunch of her other jewelry. So I wanted to surprise her with something new, and I knew she really wanted a necklace... So here it is.
The centers of the 2 doilies are abalone. I love that shell. Around the centers is brick stitch, and then some fringing. The rope is a simple spiral, with a sterling silver "s" hook.

Here's a couple new"ish" Designs for my Shop...

These earrings are based on my "Pretty as A Peacock" earrings, they are 2 of the peacocks together. These are an indigo blue color.

This bracelet is based on my "Catching a Dream Bracelet" that I made for the Etsy Beadweavers Challenge a few months ago on Heritage. The first one was using the "Stormy" colors and this one is using more teals and aqua colors for the Spring and Summer.

Here's Some Books I Can't Wait to Read...

These all look really great to me, and I love all the authors. A couple of them are not quite out yet, but soon. All the pics are from Amazon.com.

Things I'm Working on...

Just finished these Apatite Doily Earrings.

I've been trying to get the perfect Doily style ring. This is another one, I have not listed any in my shop yet. Maybe soon. This one has an oval abalone bead as the center, and is created using circular brick stitch.

I'm also making some new of my Southwestern colors Doily earrings, I had some, but they sold. So I am making a few more pairs, I still try to make each pair a little different.

More Springtime Colors for My Shop

I added these springtime color items to my shop in the last few days. I love the colors. I think I'll be making a few more items in these in the near future.

Here's a new Red Doily Bracelet

This bracelet is mostly circular brick stitch with some larger round carnelian beads in the centers. There is a little peyote also, for example the toggle.

I've finally made some new earrings...

Okay most of these photos are pretty bad, I'll admit that, but the lighting in Vermont is sooooo awful right now. I promise to do better.

I made this Necklace ...

For a custom order a few days ago.

Stormy 2008 Collection so far...

I've got all my winter color combinations set up for beading. I usually put together grays, silvers, and sometime some blues or blacks. Here are some of the items. Mostly all are available in my Etsy Shop.

New Paisley Design

I am very pleased with my new bracelet. I saw some paisleys in a magazine about a year ago, maybe it was Bead & Button, but I can't remember. So, as I love to do brick stitch, I have been thinking about them for a while now. I saw some bronzite beads in the oblong shape so I bought them to practice with and hopefully come up with something. So here's the result after some practice. They still come out a little different every time, but to me that is not a bad thing, because I like thing kind of asymmetrical.

It's that time again. The October Etsy Beadweavers Challenge has started. This month's theme is called "Animal Instinct". Please vote on the Beadweaver Blog beginning Oct. 9th. There are 9 entured this month, and mine is number 14.

Some New Doily Earrings

I've made some new Doily Earrings over the past few weeks, here are some of them. Most of them are availavle at my Etsy shop.

Thanks for Making Me A Part of Your Treasury!

It's so great that every once in a while you get selected by someone to be a part of their treasury. They can only select 12 people so I think it's pretty special. This treasury was created by JustCHARMING, thanks very much. Since I never seem to be around when a treasury I am in makes the front page my friend and fellow beadweaver Marilyn sent this screen shot to me. Her shop is GrandmaMarilyns, check it out if you get a chance. Thanks so much Marilyn.
