This is what I do when I am not blogging. I love to make jewelry. I usually find a design I like and then use the beads I have on hand. The final project looks different than the photo in the magazine - and that's fine.
The above bracelet was made based on a pattern in the Dec.2011/Jan.2012 Beadword magazine. The bracelet is designed by Barbara Falkowitz. It is reversible with the slide clasp.
The above is the first bracelet I made using Barbara's design. I didn't have the gold pearls so I just made it a flat, reversible bracelet using seed beads with a right-angle-weave base (for all you beaders out there.)
The earrings are a design by Alice Kharon in Feb/March 2012 Beadwork magazine. They are fun to make and take only about an hour per earing. The main color in the left pair of earrings is Tanzanite. The right one has a center bead that is white opal with Fern Green around the edge. I've made six different pairs of earrings, using different colors and different sizes for the large center bead. I am really pleased with the final results.
