A new year for ideas

With the start of the new year I am hoping to continue on my current track of bringing new designs into beings. To keep me on track immediately, here are some images of a new cuff bracelet I completed yesterday. I have playing with the idea of a cuff bracelet for a number of months now and have had trouble bringing it into reality. A new friend and fellow beadlover helped me to get through my artist block and below you see the finished (well almost) version. I still need to attach the snaps that will create the closure. I'm thrilled with how it came out and can't wait to turn out some more.

Happy New Year. May the ideas flow freely and the reality follow closely behind!

new beads and napkin rings

Below are some images of a commision I completed recently. I made a set of 8 napkin rings using dark silver lined orange size 11 seed beads, size 9 seed beads, cryastal beads, and 30 gauge copper wire. The rings can be shaped to fit around a variety of napkin sizes or even used around votives, candlesticks, or stemware,
