I had a lot of fun making these. There is just something about making pieces that you know people are going to love and that will fit them perfectly. Now on to my next customer order, a very unique one...based on crop circles...
Well, I DO have a slew of new pieces... However, they need to be photographed and listed as of yet as I have been busy unpacking and with various other things in my busy life that have gotten in my way these last few weeks (how rude!)
In the mean time, I've decided to spotlight some of my floral cuffs :) Enjoy:
Now that summer has finally arrived in Northern Ontario (at least I THINK so...I've heard rumours of SNOW on JULY first, as if April first was not bad enough! I will ward it away with tank tops, shorts and sandals!!!)
here are a few summer favorites from some amazing etsy sellers to treat yourself to!!
When I hear the phrase "Snow Queen" the first thing to come to mind is the picture of an evil witch who held a mythical country under her spell for hundreds of years of winter, always winter but never Christmas!
This months etsy challenge is titled "Snow Queen", and the entries are amazing! Be sure to stop by and vote for your favourite piece from the 9th through the 15th of the month!!
Lately I have fallen in love with "larger" beads and incorporating them into my work. By larger of course I mean 5-8 mm sized beads :). Here are two of my latest cuffs using larger beads, both using pressed glass beads.
Dress up for a night on the town, or wear on a boring day of work to feel classy! Both are for sale in my shop.
So, I have been "playing" with some ideas for bracelets and cuffs :) I need to post more variety in my etsy shop, so, here are a few pictures of "coming attractions" so to speak :)
Netted cuffs, first and second try :)
One of the reasons I love beading so much is that there is always something new to learn!
I decided that I wanted to learn hearring bone (the stitch). One of my fellow beaders gave me some tips (esther of http://greenenvydesigns.etsy.com/) and I've been enjoying it :)
