What's new

Well, I am working hard to get ready for a Jewelry Party I am having next month and starting to go back to work part time. A bummer that it means less time to bead, but money is money.

I have just finished up some beautiful Ornaments. The Crystal Drop Ornaments were done using 3 patterns by Tica Daydreams. I changed the background colors to change the overall look of the patterns. The Glass Drop Netted Ornaments are my own design. I have been making them for about 4 years now.

Wedding Jewelry

I also had the honor of designing and making the Jewelry for my SIL's Wedding. The Bridesmaids worn Earrings that matched the bride and bracelets made from Ruby's Herringbone Bangle Pattern: http://www.rubysbeadwork.com/RubysHerringboneBangles.html






The Bride decided she wanted a necklace with leaves, so we went with Russian leaves.

Wedding Jacket


Well, last night was my SIL's Wedding. I made a jacket to wear to it and it was a hit. As always I did a ton of extra stitching on it to make it stand out.
