Elegant Element Clasp



I love this clasp!  This is a plain right angle weave bracelet edged with 2mm round Crystal Swarovski ABs...the clasp totally matches!   :)  Cindy Tipton can order the clasps for you...her link is on my blog.  I used Miyuki 08-194 for the beads...I can't claim credit for this pattern.  My friend, Kim, did this first...and I copied with her permission (well, sort of...lol)!

Here's a peyote cuff that I finished the other day...the diamond part looks like Crystal AB Swarovski's...but, as usual, the picture didn't pick up the sparkle...I'm working on a right angle weave bracelet now.  At the rate I'm going, it'll be 2013 before it's finished!   :)

New Bracelet!



Hi, Everyone!  I'm sorry it's been a long time since I've last posted, but this is what I've been making.  It's an eight-strand right angle weave bracelet beaded in 3mm pearls and Swarovski's and 15/0s.  It feels nice on and sparkles a lot!   :)  Thanks for looking.

Rings! Rings! Rings!



Okay, I went crazy with these...and I am not finished yet. They go so well with the tennis bracelets that I have been making, and there are so many variations. This is a pattern by Nancy Owens called Bicone Bijoux that may be found in Bead & Button Favorites on page 38. You can make one up in about an hour!
