Got these done this week.
Jewelry
I got a few more things made for the upcoming craft show.
A few Christmas tree necklaces…..
Some leather and curved tube bracelets…..
Copper bracelet with dusty blue and green beads…..
Some more zipper pulls, dangles, keychains or whatever…..
And a pair of green ice chip bead earrings…..
Japanese Crest Pendants
Just finished up ten necklaces today. Yay!!
Etched copper, then punched out and riveted together. There’s crimp beads between the front and back for a space for the snake chain to go through. I added the end caps and clasp to the snake chain. Made the little glass dangles too. Pieces were patina’ed and tumbled to work-harden the metal.
Seed Bead Bracelet
Got back from the High Sierras on Saturday. I always pick up a seed bead kit to make while I’m there since there’s no TV or Internet. This bracelet was designed by Laura McCabe. Her patterns and instructions are awesome!! So easy to follow. This one is called Eiffel Tower Bracelet. The Swarvorski gemstones sit up from the base on four “prongs” with a beaded bezel. Very ingenious design, though the bracelet is a bit too gaudy for me. Took me 6 days to complete.
Leather and Big Hole Bead Bracelet
I bought some corded nappa leather a while ago and never got around to using it. It’s a double wrap around bracelet with a magnetic clasp. I want to see how the beads move around, it they drop to the back of the bracelet or stay on top. It’s going to get worn next week to try it out.
I added some sterling silver beads in between the cored beads for more bling.
More Hollow Beads
I got this clear hollow made up into a necklace. It has red microbeads inside and the bead caps are anodized aluminum.
This next one turned out kind of large and I got a few bubbles in it. Not sure what I’m going to do with it yet. I thought the color would turn out more red but it’s definitely orange.
