Peyote Cuff

I have had this pattern in my head for a while and I finally got it down on paper. I used peyote graph paper to plan out the pattern and to have a visual copy of the colors I wanted to use. Hope you enjoy!

New stuff

Here are the pieces I finished yesterday.

Fire Opal Bracelet

This is a bracelet that I have been working on for a couple of days. I am pretty sure the cabochon is a created opal. Lots of fire. Enjoy!

Labradorite Cabochon Bracelet

I had this all done except for the clasp yesterday. So I have to post it today. I am a big fan of labradorite and I have never seen the purple/pink color in a cab before. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Coral Anemone and others

First is the coral anemone pendant that I made yesterday. I really like the way this turned out. Let me know what you think.

Next is a "Jitterbug" bracelet from a kit offered by Cathy Collison. I changed the bracelet and used Swarovski buttons rather than the 6 mm fire polish rounds.

Finally, I have a bracelet that I call Fire Dragon's Eye. I have two images of the bracelet. One of the whole bracelet and a close-up of the eye.

Rivoli Pendant

Here is the latest Rivoli creation.

Lavender Dreams

My second Rivoli necklace. Have to love the glitz Swarovski crystals give to a project. Some of the beads in this necklace change from purple to blue--depends on the light source.

My Snow Day project

Tuesday I had a snow day instead of school. (It was very icy here.) I had a few little projects that I put together, but then I decided to make some sparkly wheels (Nikia Angel's design) and I had enough 4 mm rounds to make five wheels. After I finished three of them I counted the 4 mm beads that I had left and decided to make one over-sized wheel with the extra five beads. I ended up with 4 normal size wheels and one over-sized wheel. The large wheel didn't lay flat but I kept playing with it. After I got it flatter I decided to see if any of my Rivoli Swarovski's would fit inside the wheel. I had a beautiful volcano one that was perfect for the necklace. I made a peyote/netted holder for the rivoli. Popped the rivoli in the center and stitched it in on the back of the sparkly wheel. Then I created one of my "braided" necklaces and attached it the y-shape sparkly wheel creation. Let me tell you--it is eye-popping beautiful. Enjoy.

Swarovski fringe 2

This one is a little different than the first one. I used a lot more of the 2mm round Swarovski beads on this one (over two hundred). I have also been making Queen's Ransom a kit from Cathy Collison (Glass Garden Beads in MN). I am trying to figure out how I could make a rainbow with this pattern.

Swarovski galore

I made this up on Monday night and finally got it scanned tonight. There are 19 of the center-drilled Swarovski tear drop shaped crystals and a lot of 2 mm round Swarovski crystals hanging from the peyote stitched pendant. Talk about glitz. I think this pendant sparkles a lot more than a diamond. (Although, I must admit I like the way diamonds sparkle.)
