Black & White

This is my latest creation. I made it to go with a few black and white shirts. I used a new technique on this, it's a weird rope material that I threaded the beads onto and put knots between. It turned out great, I can't wait to wear it.
Here is the bracelet I made to go with it.

Bead Time

I am a girly girl and one of my favorite colors is pink. I have some pink and brown shirts so I made this set to go with them.
I love this bracelet. I really like my bracelets to stand out so I have been doing a lot of dangly ones lately. This one took forever to make because I used so many seed beads and they are kinda hard to work with. I think it was worth it though.
These are the earings. They are a little longer than I usualy wear but I like them anyway. They are surprisingly light. I hate when earing pull.
Here's the necklace. I love it. I get tons of complements on it. The center piece looked kind of boring on its own so I added some little beads to hang if front of it, dress it up a bit. The picture below is what it looks like hanging, I couldn't get it to come out any clearer. Looks like it might be time to buy a new camera.

All Dressed Up


I made this piece awhile ago but don't have many opportunities to wear it. It hangs really low and looks great against black. I like how the pearls dress it up a bit. I've noticed lately that instead of using pendants I have been making these little clusters of beads for the focal point.

Here's how it looks hanging.

Red and Black


I love to wear red and black. For some reason I am drawn to these colors in the store. Here is one of my favorite red necklaces. I love the big pendant, it's made of some weird material, almost plastic but not. I like that it's simple and sits nicely on my neck. With all the shirts I have I should probably try to make another red and black necklace but I just love this one so much I might not wear the new one!

I love to do charm bracelets or bangles. It seems most of my bracelets of late are either charm bracelets or bangles. The only down side to the charm bracelet is they are kinda noisy but at least I don't have to take them off when I type like I do with bangles. This bracelet took a little longer to make than usual because there is so much wire involved.

Finaly Finished


So I finished my friends birthday present last night. I made her a necklace and bracelet to match this shirt. I found this charm at Michaels, it suites her perfectly. I tried to make it so it hangs in the middle of her chest. The back is kind of adjustable so she can make it longer or shorter if she chooses.



I love the bracelet, I have a few in this style. I absolutely love these colors, I might try to make another one for myself. When you wear it one side looks like a single bracelet and the other side looks like a charm bracelet.




Birthday Gifts



One of my very good friends has a birthday tomorrow. I bought her a very cute shirt that I plan on making a matching necklace and bracelet for and I already made her this set of bangles.
I love these bangles. I have 3 or 4 myself. They are so colorful and go with anything. I wear them with tanks and dressy clothes. They are also pretty easy to make. I think the hardest part is trying to decide what size to make them. I hope they fit her!

Not my favorite but I sure do wear it a lot.

Charm bracelet















This is a piece I made a few months ago and wear all the time. It's a great FL piece because these are all colors that are seen a lot down here. The necklace hangs pretty low and looks great with solid tanks. I really like the ring but I haven't actually worn it yet, my Hubby makes fun of it.
