Kumihimo Bracelet in Black/Silver/White Swirl

Here's another picture taken outside. The crystals are like little suncatchers! So pretty and the black and white colors are so dramatic. This black and white bracelet is great because it can be worn with anything you put on that day.




Got Bling!

So it was a long and hard day at work for Aunt April.  But...  after work she was able to swing by to pickup her Kumihimo bracelet and at least get her Bling on! Here are a few pics of her wearing her new black/silver/white Kumihimo bracelet with magnetic clasp. Isn't it Fabulous!?

Black Wood Pendant Necklace

Well here's the first of a few necklaces I made with my new supplies from Deland Bead Store. This is a long necklace, 60" and was a little difficult to display so I had this nice little guy help hold it for me :) . Black Wood Pendant Necklace has a unique looking black wooden circle and rectangle pendants, the rectangle having a cool lighter colored wood so that it appears 'framed' by the black wood. Pendants are accompanied by coordinating glass, wooden and foil beads. This necklace is quite versatile at 60" long and can be wrapped around 2-3 times for a great layered effect. Pic is showing it wrapped twice. Set includes matching earrings. More pics are in the $20 and up Bin but Necklace and earrings can be purchased on this page by clicking the Add to Cart button below.  Necklace is $30, with matching earrings the set would be $35. Please indicate if you would like just the necklace or the set when purchasing. I really enjoyed and had fun creating this one, and hope you enjoy it!

Bringing Home the Spoils

My hubby was nice enough to go with and drop me off at a bead store in Deland, Florida called Kathryn's Beads and Baubles. Really great bead shop, had a really good variety and the atmosphere was so nice and peaceful, even smelled good - perfect for bead shopping. I picked up a few goodies and can't wait to get started on some new projects.

Puffy Heart Necklace for Linda

This is the Puffy Heart Necklace custom made order for Linda. The original necklace previously had two tiers and crocheted wire on the ends near the clasp. Linda loved the puffy glass heart and beads but wanted one with only one tier, the necklace longer 25", and an extender chain and lobster clasp added, so I made this one as a special order. I also made a pair of earrings to complete the set. Thanks for the order Linda! I hope you love it!

Turquoise Swirl Crystal Kumihimo Bracelet

This is the new turquoise Kumihimo Bracelet I was working on. I used Chinese crystals to get a dark and light swirl/twirl pattern, and it came out beautiful. The crystals in these Kumihimo bracelets give off a lot of shine and bling! I also used a magnetic clasp with swarovski crystal accents because they can make bracelets so much easier to put on. Turquoise is all over the place for Spring and Summer fashions and will continue to be in the years to come. And of course it definitely goes great with your current Jaguar accessories. Enjoy! More pics in the $20 and Up Bin.
