Jewelry

[Lady]

Hey everyone

I'm going through the extra room we had to build over the garage to hold all the jewelry I've been making ;)

This one looks so wonderful in person (need to ask photographer how to take photos of jewelry) blues that remind me of the ocean on a misty morning with white caps breaking just slightly. The best part is the magnetic clasp - just hold out wrist and it's on :)

This one is so much fun on the boardwalk - while eating a candied apple :)

So sweet for a garden party or afternoon tea ;)

You should have seen this with the rose/black and cream dress I had - it went so well - made the bracelet using the colors from the dress (a 1940s style dress - with a vintage looking bracelet :)

Made this necklace for my cousin who lives over on the Coast - it's very seashorey - ocean blues/greens - little oyster pearls - and shell fragments although they don't show up that well

Beautifully done Lady. Where are you sourcing your materials from? Some of these shapes I haven't seen here in the bead shop my Mom gets her supplies from.

Yo Lady,
Long time no see. Beautiful bracelets. I especially like the Fall necklace and the colors you used.
Last week we went to Maine to celebrate mom's 97th birthday and I made my first bracelet - mom loves daisies and yellows so I used yellow and white beads and made daisies on the end.
Our red hat group is going to a local bead company Wed. to learn to make jewelry. I'll see if I do anything that I would want to take a pic of on my first (or second) attempt.

Great job.

Those are gorgeous Shell. I've done some classes but haven't made anything at home yet. I've also taken some lampworking classes which were a blast to do, but the finished product left a little to be desired. I've been thinking of getting a hothead torch and all the supplies, it was so much fun. However, this is a hobby that can really grow and grow and grow!! I so get needing the extra room..:lol:

thanks everyone for your comments : )

Andy I find the beads wherever - at regular stores - at bead stores - at home - at flea markets, etc. I love taking apart a $0.50 strand of beads from the flea market and making a new necklace with those beads and others I have at home - : )

Sharon - the dang things are like vegetables - pretty soon in the middle of the night I'm going to start leaving them on people's porches ;)

I'm going to post more - sort of like taking inventory - no need to comment for all of them unless you want to ;) just getting photos of each one - sold some and didn't get photos : (

What's really cool is, now that I know how to make them, I can fix jewelry I already have that I bought or was given to me - a necklace I bought last summer broke -
I got my boxe(s) out - YES plural lol and fixed it! :)
