I Finally Got A Chance to Take some New Photos...

It's been a busy time of year... So I finally got a couple of photos done of some new items. These colors seem to be really popular with folks.

Some New Rings I'm trying out...

We'll see if people like these styles. One is call "Starburst" and the other is a "Petit Doily". They are both created using beadweaving techniques, Peyote, fringing, and circular brick stitch. Let me know what you think...

This is a new Necklace I designed for my friend who is going be celebrating her birthday soon. It should go with a bunch of her other jewelry. So I wanted to surprise her with something new, and I knew she really wanted a necklace... So here it is.
The centers of the 2 doilies are abalone. I love that shell. Around the centers is brick stitch, and then some fringing. The rope is a simple spiral, with a sterling silver "s" hook.

Things I'm Working on...

Just finished these Apatite Doily Earrings.

I've been trying to get the perfect Doily style ring. This is another one, I have not listed any in my shop yet. Maybe soon. This one has an oval abalone bead as the center, and is created using circular brick stitch.

I'm also making some new of my Southwestern colors Doily earrings, I had some, but they sold. So I am making a few more pairs, I still try to make each pair a little different.

Here's a new Red Doily Bracelet

This bracelet is mostly circular brick stitch with some larger round carnelian beads in the centers. There is a little peyote also, for example the toggle.

I've finally made some new earrings...

Okay most of these photos are pretty bad, I'll admit that, but the lighting in Vermont is sooooo awful right now. I promise to do better.

My Newest Paisley Bracelet

This was created for the Etsy Beadweavers December Challenge. However I am a little late in posting since voting for you favorite is over in less than an hour. The theme this month was chosen by Triz and is entitled "Snow Queen" Here's some photos of mine.

Stormy 2008 Collection so far...

I've got all my winter color combinations set up for beading. I usually put together grays, silvers, and sometime some blues or blacks. Here are some of the items. Mostly all are available in my Etsy Shop.

Green Apple Ripple Cuff Bracelet

This is the first Ripple bracelet I made. It now belongs to my friend, because in the learning/design curve it came out quite a bit smaller in length than I wanted. It crinkles up after you get most of the edges on with the peyote stitch, so it comes out shorter than you want it. I made a couple of changes between the first one one (the top photo) and the 2nd Apple green one, like: Number of herringbone rows, amount of edging, shape of size 11 beads. I think I like the first one better, what's your opinion, please, which cuff do you like better?

This is a new design. I call this one Green Apple Ripple Cuff. The base is Herringbone stitch with 2 different size beads, and the sides are a peyote starting with size 8's and then a few rows of 2 drop with 11's to make the ripple. It's pretty fun to do. I will probably make a couple more in the near future.
