Bead Table Wednesday ~ 8/31/11

Aside from the growing mountain of woodland critter beads awaiting final shaping and painting, there are a few new things happening on my table...

Black owls. Just like my brown owls in the previous post... only black. This guy is the first to get his photo shoot. His friends Wynken and Nod are next in line.

Rustic flower pendants in teal blue.

And a couple new bracelets...

Last Glow at Dusk - polymer rounds, gold "sea glass", crackle agate, blue agate, and Czech glass.

Sing Softly - sleepy woodland critter bird, polymer rounds, spotted ceramic beads, blue agate, and gold "sea glass".

Happy Bead Table Wednesday!!

A Special Charm for a Very Special Cause - The Finished Bracelet

Here it is! Christine just posted this photo of Villa's finished bracelet on her blog, Stories They Tell!

I just love how it turned out! It's a wonderful thing to be able to create something so small that together with the love and craftsmanship of others will bring a spot of hope and happiness into another person's life. Thank you Christine, for this very special opportunity!

New Bracelets and More Earrings

I finished these bracelets a couple weeks ago:


A sculpted dragon holding a fire agate combined with antiqued rings.

An exotic bloom bracelet. I really like the smoothness of the bloom contrasting with the coarseness of the knotted cord and beads.

A swirly black and white bracelet.

And a winged heart - this is a new design I started working with just before Christmas - there are so many possibilities!

A pair of winged heart earrings.

And a pair of exotic bloom earrings. I have just a few slices left of this cane and it'll be gone...time to start a new one!

Today I'm working on new stamps for earrings and pendants (like the ones I used for the tree earrings in yesterday's post)...I'll post photos of them tomorrow morning after baking and a few test runs.
