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).
Not a very clear picture as I can't seem to get the light right. I used Black Diamond and Haematite 14mm rivolis, set in 15° and delica beads.
This bracelet has been adapted from a necklace pattern by Jill Devon at The Bead Merchant. I decided to make it into a bracelet as the necklace was too 'blingy' for my taste. The sparkle comes from 6 Swarovski 12mm rivolis and catches the eye beautifully. It is a statement piece that can be worn during the day or night. 
This cross-stitch was adapted from a 'Clip-art' picture that came with our pc. I made it for Max but took ages to get around to putting it in a frame. I decided to get it sorted for him, but the only frame that I had in the house had broken glass. So, the picture does not have any glass protection, but Max is chuffed to bits with it!
Another card for friend. It actually looks better in the flesh. The colours aren't really transferring onto here well.
This was the necklace that I made at this month's 'Daisy Beaders' club. It was lovely to make, even if it was Right-Angle Weave. Those of you who know me, know that I hate R-A-W with all of my heart! The chain for it was simple and cute, and, more importantly, fairly quick to make up. I am now proudly wearing it, to test its strength, and then it will be going in my Folksy shop.
This is a design that I thought up today, based on a 'loop-di-loop' pattern that was in a very early issue of Bead Magazine. Instead of just doing loops of beads, I have done one row of strands with facets on, one row of leaves and the obligatory row of loops. It all blends in nicely and is actually fairly substantial to hold. As you can see from the bottom picture, I have not finished the toggle fastener, so that is what I intend to do tonight.
This bracelet is an old favourite and you will see lots of other examples if you care to look back far enough. It is a herringbone base which have made in 8° seed beads. Then, you work in all the gaps with 11° seed beads. I thought that this colour combination with the texture looked a bit like the back of a crocodile!
This time it is made in 8° beads. I decided to use a bead instead of a toggle for the closure. 
This bracelet idea came to me from a picture in a book I own by Carol Huber Cypher. I took the basic idea and made it my own, using buttons made for me by Gill at Hollingdale Designs. The finished result is lovely and really original. I love the hex beads in the work, giving it a bit of sparkle and bling, and Gill's buttons really make it look quirky.
This time, I used a bead mix from The Bead Merchant, called 'Pot Pourri'. I have had it for ages and never known what to do with it! Yesterday's class solved that...
This pendant is made with another Bead Merchant mix, called 'Misty'. I think it is really cute and am now trying to decide how to hang it! 
This bracelet is based on previous ones I have made form the Bead and Button Books. However, I changed it slightly and am really pleased with the way it came out. I think that the colours are lovely together, with the black really benefitting from the petrol sheen.
