Cellini Slider Necklace

I made a section of Cellini spiral a few months ago. I hated it and was going to tear it apart, but a friend said "NO!" and made me give it to her. ;)

This is what she did with it:

New Design - Starry Night Bracelet

This bracelet came about from some experimenting I was doing with tubular netting. It's made with magatama drops, 14/o and Toho hex beads, and a Swarovski button for the clasp.

Birthday Fun

Well, I finally got to give Mary Jo her birthday present... and can post it here now! Didn't want to spoil the surprise! ;)

The bracelet is made with magatama drop beads, 8/o and 14/o seed beads, and Toho hex beads. The clasp is a swarovski button.

Confetti Ring

This ring was designed by Harry Solly. The cab is polymer clay (also made by Harry).

Netted Rope - more pics

I got some better photos of my netted rope today. :)

Inchies 7-12

The second half of my dozen inchies. Still trying to decide what to do with them. :)

Inchies 1-6

Six of my bead embroidered inchies. Still trying to decide what to do with them. ;)

Netted Rope

Before Christmas, we were snowed in for 3 days without power. I needed something to do, so I worked on this necklace. I had wanted to make it since the retreat in Robbinsville in early November and finally had a block of time to do it. I ran out of pearls, thus the herringbone section at the back of the necklace. I might try to find more pearls the same color so that I can finish it properly.

Cubism Bracelet

This bracelet is woven in St. Petersburg stitch. The clasp is made from two of the shapes in Diane Fitzgerald's Shaped Beadwork.

I am part of the ArtBeads blogging community and was given the opportunity to choose beads from their Glass Beads or Sterling Silver Beads categories.

While I am always tempted by silver, I couldn't resist these square-cut Delicas. They are teeny tiny and oh so gorgeous! I was a little disappointed in their lack of uniformity... being Delicas, I expected them to be very uniform, but they weren't. In the 5 grams or so I used, I had to throw out 3 and several more were a bit wonky. That being said, I still love them! I can't wait until they are back in stock and I can get some other colors. :)

*Please note: I have received the above beads free of charge from Artbeads. This is my honest review of the product and I have not been paid for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received.

Inchies Done

I finished the last of my 12 inchies for the 2008-2009 BJP. :) Here are the last 2:
Now to decide how to finish them. I have had several suggestions. They are too big for a charm bracelet, and I don't know if I have the patience to make necklaces for all of them if they are going to be pendants. I might go with my original idea to make beaded cubes out of them. Just have to decide what method I'll use to stitch them together.
