Pink Drops.

2006-02-06T13:40:00.000-08:00

Made off the same base as the sadistic candy earrings. You can't tell in the picture very well but the center piece bead is acrylic covered in metal hearts and on each side there is a pink centered 8mm bicone.

VERY pretty... unique, I think.

Got the Blues.

2006-02-06T13:37:00.000-08:00

My first attempt at any type of different clasp! Magnetic! It's awesome..

This a closely worn necklace, also known as a choker, but not quite that tight.

4mm blue and clear bicones and plated spacers, as well as solid glass center piece beads.

This necklace also goes pretty well with the chandelier blue crystal earrings.

Champagne

2006-02-06T13:35:00.000-08:00

Champagne/cream colored pearls with plated spacers and 4mm bicones. Exactly like the Grass Pearls bracelet except with different colored and larger pearls.

I am half tempted to keep these all for myself and not sell them.

Non-Stretchy Miracle

2006-02-06T13:33:00.000-08:00

Lobster claw clasp, simply put, 4mm bicones and miracle beads, very pretty, most especially for the holidays.

Grass Pearls Bracelet.

2006-02-06T13:30:00.000-08:00

Light opaque green colored faux pearls with plated spacers and 4mm bicones.

I really enjoy making and showing off the ones I make that have pearls... They look so elegant and can go with nearly anything!

Whispy Gypsy.

2006-02-06T13:29:00.000-08:00

I want to keep this one for myself, it's awesome. Shimmery,reflective beads on the dangles.

Mind you, this bracelet took...-forever- to make...I must have set it down and come back to it maybe 8-10 times until I got all the dangles attached to the eye pins and then to the jump rings etc...

I love it's colors and "gypsy like" quality.

A Stretchy Miracle

2006-02-06T13:27:00.000-08:00

My first stretchy bracelet!

Red Miracle beads and glass bicones! 4mm and 6mm!

Love it.

Pearl Pendant

2006-02-06T13:24:00.000-08:00

This pendant is fashioned off the same base that the blue crystal chandelier earrings are made off of.

Faux pearl and sterling silver ends on the pearl. Plated spacers dangle on the bottom.

So elegant.

Oceans

I absolutely love this one. I wore it out with a beautiful flowing tunic type shirt and jeans and it was definitely a hot accent. This is definitely one of my favorite necklaces that I've made.It's so unique. Looks awesome with a dipping neckline or a V-neck.

Use those three-bar thingy's the ball screws on and off. Those are awesome. Crystals and metal plated spacers.

I am uber proud of this one.

Blue Crystal Chandelier Earrings

2006-02-06T13:17:00.000-08:00

ok, so I'm a lamer, I couldn't think of a funky cool name for these babies..but they are beautiful. eye pins, crystals, and a pendant piece. Hook and snap earring bases.

These took a long while but they turned out beautifully and they look awesome with the blue choker that you can see above.

LOVE these.

Though my second real attempt at earrings, these turned out way better, I'm thinking of scrapping the Sadistic Candy set earrings and start over with some different supplies but using the same beads etc.

Pink Punk Funk

2006-01-02T11:16:00.000-08:00

I made this for a friend, it's an anklet. She liked it. I love the pink beads with the splatter pattern on them. All glass with an alligator clasp.

No Chunky

2006-01-02T11:11:00.000-08:00

The least chunky accent you'll have. Very thin, dainty, and delicate looking. All glass beads. I wear this one quite a bit actually.

Dragonfly

2006-01-02T11:06:00.000-08:00

Pewter Dragonfly beads and Black and White Glass beads.

Very simple, but very cute.

Vintage Dainty

2006-01-02T10:54:00.000-08:00

I made this one out of sterling silver spacers, 4mm bicones, and glass beads that were handpainted... Really liked this one. Wish the big beads weren't so big. But I really like it.

Sadistic Candy Set

2006-01-02T10:44:00.000-08:00

This is the necklace I did. It's lovely. I wore it for christmas get togethers and got oh so many compliments on it. Everyone loved it! This was my first attempt at a necklace, I'm planning on adding a reinforcement to the crimp and then wrapping black and red wire around it to hide it. It's going to look like a really modern addition when it's finally finished.

I also began making earrings and enjoyed everything about the final product.. but hated working with eye pins.. I hate those!

Sorry for the crapola picture quality, but you get the idea. Everyone loved the ensemble with a solid black shirt and black pants and an up-do. I was so proud of myself.

Strawberries and Cream

2006-01-02T10:40:00.000-08:00

I did those and liked it muchly, all glass beads. Those beads are not seed beads. I will never work with seed beeds. They suck. So these are bigger glass beads. I'm quite fond of this one.

I gave several bracelets as christmas presents and forgot to take pictures of them first.

Green Khaki Pants

2005-12-18T16:32:00.000-08:00

Appropriately named after the color green they resemble. The light in the picture makes the beads look far more yellowish than they really are.

100% Glass Beads and oval toggle.

Picturesque Rose

2005-12-18T16:30:00.000-08:00

Beautiful glass beads and acrylic clear ovals with roses painted on them.

Sweet Peas

2005-12-18T16:26:00.000-08:00

I hope you like this one. Made of acrylic and glass beads with an oval toggle.

Little Girls Prayer Box Bracelet

Toes in the Sand

2005-12-18T13:15:00.000-08:00

Oval Toggle and glass beads.

Simple and elegant... The beige beads reminded me of the beach and what the sand looks like when the light hits it just right and it sparkles, you know?

I really like this one.

The Lima Bean Bracelet

2005-12-18T12:02:00.000-08:00

Yes, Appropriately named after it's green color, this bracelet is made with a lobster claw and adjustable chain links. Acrylic and glass beads.

In the Beginning...

2005-12-18T11:43:00.000-08:00

I was browsing through wal-mart and in looking for clear thread for my hair clip business, I found beads and little bracelet making kits and thought... "I could so do that." I bought several bead sets and some kits. Two oval toggle kits and two lobster claw adjustable kits.

I got home feeling a little over whelmed and not sure where to start. So I just dove right in... and loved it. Fell in love and I was hooked.

So I wanted to share my creations....

My First.... Oval toggle and all glass beads.
