Necklace and Earring Set

I love this set. Really easy but so satisfying.

Two Bracelets

These are made using a pattern from The Bead Merchant. Kits can be bought from their website. I love the colours in these two and I am putting them in my Folksy shop - see button at side.

'Fluffy' Bracelet!

This is adapted from a pattern in the first ever issue of Bead magazine. I have altered it a fair amount as it is a really basic pattern otherwise. I think that the colours work really well and it will soon be appearing in my Folksy shop (link to right of page).

Twisted Bracelet

This bracelet is made using tigertail and then twisting the strands. I then threaded ribbon through, and this has the added bonus of acting as a safety catch in the clasp.

Cream Double Rope Stitch Bracelet

On my shop. It is lovely and light on the wrist and is making me think of summer. We even have that big, yellow shiny thing in the sky today (if my memory serves me correctly, isn't it called the Sun?)

Bracelet in Silvers

It isn't really possible to see how glitzy this bracelet is, but it really shines on the wrist. The 4mm glass pearls are in a lovely metallic grey, with silver fire-polished beads adding the sparkle. This is going in my Folksy shop (see link at the side of the blog) and I am hoping to sell kits to make the bracelet soon too.

For FRAN...

You asked for 'pinky purples' and this actually works, despite me saying it wouldn't! I really hope you like it - if not, I'll put it in my shop and make another one for you.

Bracelets!

The top two are (probably obviously!) the same bracelet - both have labradorite in them. The second bracelet has coil end caps that I made myself. I bought some Tiger's eye chips and garnet nuggets today, so may do another wire-work bracelet with them. It seems to work so well.

I cleared my Folksy shop of items a couple of weeks ago, as I was just not selling anything, except to people who I know from the Crafter...oo forum. I was getting disillusioned with my items and am intending on cutting a lot of them up. However, I may put a few of my favourite, recently made items in, just to see whether I can sell much this time.

A Kit Bracelet from Pandorion

I bought this last week, along with two other kits (my Christmas present to myself). I really like it although I would not do the picot edging on future bracelets as it is too dainty for my taste. The facet beads really catch the light and give a little 'bling' to the wrist.
