These are more of the fall beads that I recently made from the same Mokume Gane block that I have been using.
I really like this necklace. The focal bead is larger then I normally work with but it is stunning in person. I used a metalic white cord to put it on. This keeps it very simple.
I have more of these oak leaves to create with. I will be using them in other necklaces or even a pair of earrings. I wanted to have one that is just very simple. I made my first sale of beads with this set (I made 28 beads with no idea of how to use them, I just liked them that much!)
Continuing with the block of Mokume Gane that I made for the bead swap, I made five large focals. They are larger then I normally make but I really like them. They are all of the same shapes but with different colored background leaves.
When I string them, I am thinking of doing simple cable or cord with just the focal or a few small crystals. I will put them one cords that can be different lengths so they can be worn as chokers or with turtlenecks.
I will admit that I was not very pleased with them at first but I really like them!
I Have been making beads for a bead swap that I am doing and came up with ideas for new barrettes.
I like the colors in this one and actually have two more that are very similar, but without the center flower.
These barrettes are two of six that I made yesterday. I am very happy with them all.
I used the same Mokume Gane block for all of the barrettes.
I have been playing with creating different shapes of beads inside of just round and oval. I really like to make swirly beads out of cane ends and other scrapes so I always have stuff to play with.
This set is very colorful and I really like how it turned out.
This bracelet reminds of the multi-flavored sherbet that I enjoy on hot days. The pink “plays” to that effect.
I will admit that this one is my favorite! I really like the purples!
I finished two piece of jewelry using the pink glitter beads that I made out of polymer clay the other day.
This bracelet is using the diamond shape glitter beads. I added Swarovski crystal beads in crystal AB and rose. It is hard to get the sparkle with the camera.
This necklace is with freshwater pearls and rose Swarovski crystal beads.
I have designs for another necklace, bracelet and a couple pairs of earrings.
