Peyote Discs

These were from a Pandorion pattern which I have made as part of my C&G Course. I am going to make them into a necklace and earrings for my final 6 sets. I still need to make several more discs and think of a way to include them into a necklace but I am working on it. I love the colours together - really me!

A New Bracelet and Some Good News

This bracelet is made form a pattern by Spellbound Beads (linked to some months ago). I changed the pattern to make the bracelet a ribbon-tie one, and only used one strand of discs, rather than two. I like the finished result and intend to put it in my shop soon. The colours are a lovely mix - I think brown and turquoise is my favourite colour scheme.

The good news is that I had a meeting with someone today and she ordered 68 cards from me - so guess what I will have to concentrate on over the next two weeks...I am so excited!

Finished Bracelet

Love, love, love these colours and the clasp goes so well.

My take on the 'Cordoba' bracelet.

This is by no means finished obviously, but I wanted to show the beginnings of the second bracelet, using my own colour scheme. I think that turquoise and brown look lovely together and the hint of gold ties in nicely.

Some more 'faux' turquoise jewellery and two more commission cards

The jewellery is a bit hush hush! The cards are (still) for my friend's commission. I have two large and one small left to make. I am very pleased with the 'Carol' one as I love the papers (Basic Grey - 'Blush' collection).

Helen's commission left me wanting a bracelet too!

So I made one. I didn't have enough of the stones I used in hers, so I went down the 'cheaper and bolder' route!

Kwerner Challenge

The challenge on the Kwerner blog is to use these colours and make a card. I think I may have just got in before the time limit is up...The link to the site is on my favourite links at the top of this blog.

I hope you like it!

An aqua version of the last bracelet...and it is in focus!

I really love these two bracelets. I made the aqua one tonight and aim to make a root beer coloured one tomorrow. Mixing the accent beads and making the loops flow is so rewarding. I also love catching a glimpse of a sparkly bead when I am moving my hand.

The aqua bracelet was originally meant to be pure turquoise but I spotted some lime beads that I bought a couple of weeks ago, so I added them. I think the two colours go perfectly.
