Embellished Netted Bracelet


Hi!  

Finished a bracelet!  Got the pattern from Japanese Beadwork with Sonoko Nozue...page 60...Night Dew...I did not embellish both sides.  This is a nice book, and the bracelet feels nice and slinky on...she had a cool way to embellish it!

Anyhow, give it a try!

Hugs,

Peyote Bracelet with Hidden Clasp






I made this peyote bracelet using liquid silver, which is a little smaller than #1 size bugles...added a picot edge and I thought it looked a little plain, so I added all the pearl fringe around the slide-lock clasp.  It's not a difficult bracelet to make, but I got tired of doing all the fringe...lol...when I get to the end of a project, I WANT TO BE DONE WITH IT!!!   :)  And now I've started a netted bracelet embellished with crystal...as slowly as I bead, my next post will probably be next year, so don't give up on me!

Hugs,

Angie

Princess Kate Bracelet



This bracelet was in either Beadwork or Bead and Button...can't remember.  It was a stinker to do.  I tried to follow the pattern and the cup chain would NOT line up with the tilas...so I reworked it and reworked it and finally ended up with this.

Latest New Pieces

I have not given up on beading...things have just been hopping around here!  :) My son has graduated from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and my daughter has successfully completed the 9th grade and is now a sophomore.  I've finished several pieces and even taken pictures...just lazy when it actually comes to posting...sorry!  So here they go!

The first is a gold Russian spiral:


The second one is a silver fringe necklace with a chevron base.  The pattern is by Glenda Payseno:


The third is a pattern that I came up with...nothing fancy and very easy:


And, last but not least, is another pattern that I came up with by playing around...gold tilas done in ladder stitch with a braided rope edge...this one was a stinker when you go to finish up the last row of the edging.



Hope y'all like these...you can leave a comment if you like, but it's much easier if you just e-mail me at wowmaw@aol.com
