The top is turquoise and the bottom one is another blue one. Again, I took crappy pictures. I’m going to have to work on that…..

Two Blue Bracelets

I got these done this weekend…..

BlueBracelets

I know the back side of the white paper has printing on it but I was too lazy to take another picture or edit it out. I know I should spend more time on my photos but then that would take away time from making things. It’s either priorities or laziness….

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.

One More Colored Pencil Pendant

This is the last one I plan to make for a while. I need to move on to other things.

Yeah, I’m not that great at drawing. My drawings are very cartoony. I wish I could do something more life like. I used another ceramic shard found on the shores of Lake Erie. I didn’t want to use green but I guess there aren’t too many turquoise colored plates in Lake Erie.

Two Bracelets

I sold some bracelets at the last craft show so I made a few more.

I don’t know what’s up with the beads I used in the one on the left. I must have had a lapse in color sensibility when I made it. The one one the right is only slightly better, at least they are all on the purple side.

New Colored Pencil On Metal Pendant

 

I wrote up the instructions on how I use colored pencils on metal so I thought I’d do some instructions on how to set the piece.

How it looks from the front.

Here it is from the side.

Green Shard Colored Pencil Pendant

Yes, another colored pencil pendant. It’s a lot of fun making the colored pencil pieces. Then I have to do something with them. This one is similar to the last one with a ceramic shard bezel set in it.

I know it’s green. It wasn’t supposed to be green. But that’s what I had sitting in my colored pencil box and it was on top. And it goes well with yellow. The other side of the ceramic shard was pink and that’s why I bought it. I was surprised the other side was green and it worked out perfect for this pendant.

Not A Bracelet

This was going to be a bracelet. That was before I goofed up the placement of the end caps. Instead of tearing it apart, I changed it into a necklace.

I added another piece of  leather cording onto the other side, and viola, it’s a necklace. I did add the dangle after as it seemed kind of plain. I kind of like the mish mash of different beads. I might make another necklace all out of different beads. Great way to use up extras.
