I finally figured out what I wanted to make with the beads I received from Aunties' Beads & Jewelry Supplies.  I have seen a lot of asymmetrical bracelets and necklaces lately.  For some reason it took me awhile to get the bracelet to look balanced.  But I think I finally got it right.  This bracelet is made from 12 mm turquoise round beads , 10mm smoky quartz , sterling silver chain and twisted links.  I also attached an initial pendant. 

My latest creations

Here are my lasted creations. I am having such a hard time to naming the things I make. You would think I would be able to come up with a name...LOL. I get brain freeze when it comes to that.

I found the glass green square beads at Michael's. I liked them but I did not know what I was going to do with them. I was playing around with them a couple of nights ago and came up with this design. I alternated a 4 mm silver bead, a square crystal bead and the glass green square bead. I finished it off with a silver clasp. For the earrings, I just followed the same pattern.

For the amber glass bead set, I alternated the elongated amber glass bead with two different silver antique beads. I finished it of with a clasp. For the earrings, I followed the same pattern.

First Mommy Bracelet

I have been wanting to try my hand at making a Mother's Bracelet for some time. I went to Michael's and purchased some inexpensive materials to give it a try. I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. I did not have enough spacers to do the design I had in mind, so I had to improvise. Now that I have worked out how to piece it together. I will make one out of sterling silver.

I also make a few rings. I am fascinated by the wire wrap rings. I love the way a straight piece of wire comes together with beads or whatever to make something so simple yet beautiful. I used craft wire in bronze and copper. I also used sterling silver wire.

Thinking

I have started a new bracelet made of turquoise colored shells, pearls, and other beads that I am not quite sure of. I started by placing the turquiose shells on a silver chain.


Next, I placed the pearls. I have gotten stuck at this point. I know I want to add different greens. I have to sit this one to the side and begin on something else. Something will come to me.

I finally finished the bracelet. I think it turned out nicely.
