More Pyramids

I have made three new color variations of my Concave Pyramid Earrings. Blue:

Purple:
and Sand:
This last variation is also the colorway I am using in a necklace called Sands of Egypt. It will feature some pyramids, of course! :)

Pyramids and Stars

I was playing around at the Bead-a-Lot yesterday and figured out how to make a pyramid shape WITHOUT having to do components and then connect them together. Yay! Those of you in the know understand how much I HATE components. ;)

These triangles are destined to be earrings, but I think I see a charm bracelet in my future... okay, so I know that means components, but it's not the same thing. :)

Also, my friend Aryd'ell brought this bracelet with her, which she made from my Shooting Stars pattern but then embellished the heck out of. I love it! I think I'm gonna have to write up a second tutorial for this one as a collaboration. :)

Happy beading!

Birthday Present and a Tutorial

I just realized that I neglected to post a photo of this pendant I made for a friend's birthday present. I have several more available for sale. I am writing a tutorial for the triangle/diamond bail to teach at a retreat this May. Here is another version of the bail:

Even More Bangles

This bracelet is the third in a set made for a customer. She requested matte beads in a herringbone twist. I made two, not knowing which she would like better, and she requested a third to go along with them. The first was brown and green, the second was brown and blue, so this one I made in green and blue.Triangle beads in straight tubular herringbone look very slinky! I love these Toho triangle hybrids I got from Artbeads: I also got some jewelry cleaner for some tarnished silver components I have sitting around. I also have white-gold delicas that I am going to (surprise, surprise) use in a spiral herringbone necklace. It will be the backdrop to some embroidered pendants I plan on making soon.

Herringbone Snake Necklace,

I made this a while ago. The cover is removable, as is the pendant, which is not finished yet... that'll have to wait until my Elemental embroidery project is finished. The different bead sizes make the twist.
