Just Made this Bracelet with NEW GunMetal Chain!
A whole lot of Whimsy and loaded with Color Drama!
Really liked working with some new chain to make this funky bracelet. I loaded it with pressed glass and seed beads in bold bright colors that made a great contrast with black gunmetal chain #36.
This new black chain has plenty to offer:
- Soldered links..your trinkets won't slip out and great to use for chain extension
- Flat wire for modern and dressy look.. and
- 3 ring sizes which adds to versatility, more to work with!
It took about 2.5 hours to make..(actually made while watching FoodNetwork TV dramas
) and had plenty of fun arranging color.
More than enough possibilites to keep ya busy I'd say..

Bead Stringing..it’s been awhile!
Organic, bits of randomness and lots of rich color. It's been awhile since I focused on beading, arranging color and texture to my liking. I apprehended this new Lampwork pendant a few weeks back and needed to create something. Joining friends for bead night gave me the inspiration needed to create and finish (almost) this necklace. After fiddling around with the colors and composition, this is what transpired..must say I'm pleased with the results.
Cheers,

Yellow Clusters for Summer Earrings
Small two toned yellow crystals are paired with gold chandelier findings for a perfect summer earring for that special summer outing. I used this finding as a frame to cluster wrap crystals to the chandelier. I admit I had to become "one" with the wire….it took me a couple of tries and 26 gauge wire works best when making something like this.
Anywho…other pix feature the three finishes we carry; antique copper, gold and silver plate and a dangle design in coppery tones that sold like hot cakes in my store days.
Get Creative,

More design options with antique brass filigree!
Seriously fun to wear earrings can be made with these antique brass filigree components. In this particular example I mixed many colors of green in response to the new spring colors surrounding me these days.
Consider all the colors in your bead collection..try black, purple, pink, aqua or earthly brown hues. Antique brass compliments many colors. AND, still light as feathers after loading them up with lots of drops.
Show off your free spirited side and make and wear a pair!
Go wild with color,
