Beaded Snowflakes

Here are some of the beaded ornaments I have made to give as gifts this holiday season.

"Cami"-flouge Bracelet

My friend Cami who works at Rocks of Ages in Luxemburg is so very talented.  She assisted me with the photography and layout of my bio page for an art show I am participating in at NWTC.  Since she wasn't willing to let me pay her for her time and talents, I produced this bracelet for her.  Cami loves to hunt!

NWTC Class projects

I will be starting another 8 week session of jewelry making at NWTC on October 10, 2012.  Here are a few of the projects we will be making in class.

New items

Here are some new items I've made recently.    The multi-colored necklace is made with the new twin hole seed beads. 

Hand Painted Silk Scarves

These are the new silk scarves that I have started painting.  I plan to make bead tubes for some of them.  I am selling the scarves for $25 each.  With a bead tube, they will sell for $40 each.

After starting to make beaded tubes for scarves last summer, I decided to try a new design.  This shorter tube has a pendant that accents the scarf. 

This is a new item I started to make a few weeks ago after my friend Connie shared her wire and bead book with me.  The dragonfly hair clips are on a bobby pin and are selling for $5 each.   Sales have been good on these at the farm market.

The dress is from the "Oh My Gauze" line that is carried at The Funky Zebra in Fish Creek.  The owner, Cindy Gavin, has purchased jewelry and many beaded scarves from me.  She asked me to embellish this dress with needle felting and beads.

After taking a class at Rocks of Ages with my friend Mary, these are some of the dragon flies I created.  The blue and yellow on is a necklace and the other is a pin.  I have put together kits to make these with my crafting group at our July get together.  Working is wire is new for me, but I plan to continue to try new items.

I created this bracelet for a gentleman who was looking for something 'less feminine'.  He was at the farm market looking at my items and after talking with him, this is the special request I created for him.
