Lots and lots of beads in my craft room'' oh ''my god.
I love beads and when I buy them its for that special jewelry piece but sometimes that special piece will take a long time for it to be designed. I have precious beads ,semi-precious and the very inexpensive but pretty beads.I don't a problem mixing them all because it makes the piece unusual .I also have a collection of buttons ,zippers and fabric that I also incorporate in my designs. About two months ago I took out my bead organizer and decided to make something with those forgotten beads, enjoy.
wow! Terrific job of de-stashing. Wonderful designs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri,I had a very long dry spell and it took me a while to design something.
DeleteGreat job, really lovely piece!

DeleteWow were you ever busy! I adore the necklace with the ribbon and the buttons. I have jars and jars of vintage buttons that I have hoarded but I now feel compelled to make something after seeing you piece.
ReplyDeleteI also love the keepsake box with the zipper trim and vintage hankie? So very pretty!
I had the box for around two years waiting for that special moment and the buttons also.
DeleteWow. Just wow. My favorite would be the black and brass bracelet but that elaborate necklace is amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janine.
DeleteEverything you've made is fabulous but I have to say that the "kitchen sink" necklace of buttons and ribbon is my favorite....what a statement necklace!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nan my daughter wants that big button necklace. When I made I was like wow to big but then my daughter said she want it.
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of gorgeous pieces. I really love the wire wrapped bracelet and the extra wire wrapping on the first pair of earrings.
ReplyDeleteThank Dolores I love wire wrapping and tend to do wrapping on most of my pieces.
DeleteNicely done. All the jewelry is pretty, but the box is inspiring. Too often we do not look past jewelry when making use of our beads. I am going to keep this in mind for future creations.
ReplyDeleteKJ I made the box with intension to give it as a gift but I end up keeping it .
DeleteHi Elise, You made great use of your hoarded beads. Great designs. My favorite is the black and white necklace.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky that necklace took me forever to make ,I took apart about 3 times until finally said that's it no more it will stay as is.
DeleteYou out did yourself! I love the necklaces and the jewelry box! I'm so glad you really got into this!

DeleteThe Coach Replica Handbags swiss Swagger Chanel Replica swiss Satchel is Replica Handbags UK featured in Metallic Blue, but you can choose the warm tone version of Cherry Red, Replica Handbags swiss which is just as striking in its elegant metallic finish. This satchel appears way more expensive than its retail value of $450. The Swagger is also available in so many other material options, such as pebbled leather and patchwork. thank you
