These necklaces seem pretty popular so I made a couple more.
Another Toad Dangle
I didn’t get much done yesterday, it was flipping freezing in the garage last night. The only bead I got done was this toad that I made into a dangle.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
Shibori Cuff Bracelet
I took a class this weekend and made this bracelet. The class was taught by Carl Stanley. Here’s two different views:
It’s made out of fine silver and sterling silver. The metal is actually crushed so everyone’s turned out differently. I really scrunched mine as I didn’t want it to be too wide. I darkened the silver but I’m not sure if I like it. It looks more bulky as the pleats show up more. I’m going to leave it and wear it and see if it grows on me. If not, I’ll take the blackening off and make it a matte finish.
A Couple More Buttons
I only have a few button mandrels, that’s why I can only make a few each torching session. I normally don’t make that many two holed buttons so I’ve been able to live with just a few of these mandrels. Here’s a couple more.
Just Buttons
Since I’ve been making buttons for my mom’s necktie purses, I thought I’d make extra. Here’s a few more.
Necktie Purses
My mom made these purses out of neckties. They are lined and have a zippered pocket inside. They are a nice size too. Not tiny, like I thought they would be. Of course, I couldn’t resist making buttons for them. I think I should have make the buttons in opaque colors so they would show up more. Oh well….
Pink Pen
I was going through my stash and found a few bead pens that I never put beads on. So, I made this set of pink beads. I think it works with the silver pen.
New Necklace
I made this necklace for a present. I think it turned out kind of cute. I like rocks and used these pretty bead caps that I bought. The leaf is made out of metal clay.
Two More Toad Dangles
I must be on a roll today. Finished these toad dangles. Bummer that the picture is so bad.
Bread Necklace
Here’s the finished bread necklace. I think the bright ribbon adds some much needed pizazz to the piece. Hope the gal that requested it likes it.
