Three More Ladder Bracelets

I did well and sold all the ladder bracelets I had previously made. I wanted more to sell at the next craft show so I’m making more of them. Good thing I have a stock of buttons already made up.

Hopefully I’ll be able to make a few more up before the show.

Something Different

Well, kind of. I’ve been making those goth girl beads and decided to try it in a pendant. Here’s the results:

It still need to be string on a chain or something so it can be worn. I haven’t figured out what I want to string it on yet. Probably something simple, like a black leather necklace so it doesn’t take away from the pendant part.

More Big Hole Beads

I got these beads cored with sterling silver tubing yesterday.

They all use different base colors and all of them I used different colors of frit on. Some have a floral look to them. I think I have enough to sell at the next craft show now.

More Key Chains

Still making stuff for my last craft show. The goth girl beads seem to be a big hit so I made three more key chain.

The nice thing about making the key chains or key finders is I get to use my leftover beads from previous projects. They start building up and don’t really go with anything. It’s kind of fun looking through my stash to find beads I’ve made a long time ago that will work.

Two Ladder Bracelets

I’ve been making bracelets like crazy this week. I made two more double ladder bracelets with glass buttons.

One has jasper round beads and the other uses yellow moss jasper beads.

Bracelets!!

I got a chance to make more bracelets. I was using frit on the big hole beads are really liked it so I decided to use some on these smaller beads.

I really like the color line on this one. The pastel greens really work with the pink. Might have to do more of these. Course, I might be the only one that likes pink so much.

I either don’t make that many blue things or I sell them all. I seem to always end up with hardly any blue things after a show. I really like the Wedgewood blue color in this bracelet

This one didn’t work out as planned. I made the frit beads and thought I was going to get some nice green and pink colors. Boy, was I surprised when I opened the kiln. Actually these were supposed to go into the first bracelet. I had to make more frit bead for that bracelet. Then I had these. I decided to combined them with some other green and opal yellow beads. There’s also one silver glass spacer in the mix too.

Silvered Ivory and Black Ribbed Bead Necklace

I’ve been working on this set of beads like forever it seems. I thought I had enough made but didn’t, made more, still didn’t have enough and finally, I got around to make more so I could finish this necklace.

It’s longer than the ones I usually make for myself. It’s 23″ long and has sterling silver clasps and findings.

Replenishing Keychains and Key Finders

Just been trying to get more things made that I sold a lot of at the last craft show. There are more cell phone/zipper pull charms or key chains and key finders.

These goth girls are new beads. I kind of like making them. Their hair can go any which way.

More rice ball charms. They always sell out.

Big Hole Beads

I made some big hole beads for bracelets like Pandora, Troll or Chamilia to sell at the last craft show. I did well considering I only had a few of them. I decided to make more. These just got cored with sterling silver tubing.

I kind of like making them as nothing really has to match. It is a challenge to keep the beads small with such a big hole though. Coring isn’t that fun but it makes the bead look so much nicer.
