Bracelets, Bracelets, Bracelets

gunmetal gray 4mm bugle beads
bronze and copper 4 mm faceted
brown and tan peyote beads
green and blue 4mm faceted
3 tones of blues in 4mm faceted
black and purple 4mm faceted











I started making these bracelets last week and just kept going!  With the exception of the bracelet with the peyote beads, the remaining bracelets are all done in a Russian Spiral.  I had lots of fun changing the accent beads in the center and watching the different colors and designs emerge.  All of these bracelets will be added to my inventory and are ready for sale.  The Russian Spirals are $18 each (two or more are $16 each) and the peyote bead bracelet is available for $20.

Wisconsin Rug

Last Saturday, a friend asked me to make a "Wisconsin" rug for her to give as a Christmas gift....I hesitated when I thought it was already the second weekend in December, but agreed to try to get it finished.  The massive snow storm that arrive Saturday night kept us grounded all day Sunday.  Monday morning arrived and the roads were still bad enough for school to be canceled.  I took full advantage of the time at home and was able to finish the rug by Monday afternoon.
