All That Glitters ... Is Not Gold

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:44:39 -0500

$99.00
Original Price: $115 On Sale for $99 plus free shipping.

For my entry into the Etsy Beadweavers Team August Challenge "First Ladies of Style" I chose to make a simple bracelet combining an old technique with modern bling.

I began with a netting base. Netting, which dates back to well before the Christian era, is the stitch with the longest history. Lacy and soft, netting has lots of open spaces. You can see the diamond pattern on the backside of the bracelet.

To the netted base, I added over 200 6mm Swarovski bicone crystal beads in various colors of blue giving it lots of flash and sparkle - sure to get attention is this day and age. The closure is a new and modern 18" Swarovski Rivoli crystal enclosed in a peyote stitched bail.

This bracelet will fit a smaller wrist from 5 1/2 to 6" (14-15.3cm) in size.

Trellis Bracelet

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:21:14 -0500

$49.00
This 6 1/2" (16.6 cm) bracelet was created using rainbow gold and purple seed beads, Czech faceted beads and Swarovski crystals.

The first layer was created with the right angle weave, also called RAW, beadweaving stitch using needle and thread and adding one or two beads at a time. The base has three rows of size 11 Czech seed beads, then four rows of mixture of seed beads, faceted fire polished beads and crystals in a mixture of purples and golds.

A second layer of beads was added over the four rows of mixed beads in a zigzag pattern. The clasp was created with the same beads as the bracelet with a large Swarovski crystal in the center.

The inspiration for this bracelet came from Marcia DeCoster's book, Beaded Opulence.

$165.00
This necklace was created as my entry into the 1st Beadweavers Emporium Market challenge entitled "New Horizons." Originally $185, it is now on sale for $165 with free shipping.

I chose several dichroic glass cabochons to create a necklace that incorporates both bead embroidery and bead weaving.

The necklace is 16" long. The bold focal is 3"x3" and the fringe hangs down another 1 3/4". The back of the pendant is covered with soft blue ultrasuede. The chain is right angle weave and the clasp is a peyote stitched toggle.

Seaside Rendevous - A Beachcombing Necklace

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:19:47 -0500

$185.00
This 18" necklace was created as my entry into the BEM Challenge entitled Beachcombing Memories.

Several years ago, my husband and I retired and started traveling in our motorhome. We hit many beaches in our travels and some of the most beautiful were in Florida. In our beachcombing adventures, we collected many treasures and some of those found treasures were used in this necklace.

I cut and shaped several shells into cabochons and made beaded bezels around each one. I have not been able to identify the center cabochon - guesses have been calcified coral or sponge. The base of the necklace uses peyote and netting stitches to which the other shell beads were added. I also added beaded starfish and several different kinds of fringe using seed beads and saltwater pearls as well as glass pearls and mother of pearl beads.

Limeonade Medallion - A Reversible Necklace

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:52:27 -0400

$125.00
This necklace was born as an idea for my entry into the Etsy Beadweavers (EBW) challenge called Humor. As it was created, it took on a life of it's own and began morphing into something I hadn't planned. No longer was it humorous, so I gave up on entering it into the challenge.

It eventually settled into the role of a reversible medallion - similar on each side, yet different. The necklace is 18" long and the medallion is 2" in diameter.

Nostalgia Fabric Cuff with Vintage Button

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:52:27 -0400

$95.00
This is the first of my new line of Fabric Jewelry.

This bold and feminine cuff was created with beautiful batik fabric in wonderful tangerine, peach, tan, brown, and country blue colors. The fabric is lined with pellen and is glued to a brass cuff. The cuff is lined with ultrasuede which was glued to the underside of the cuff. The fabric and ultrasuede have both been scotchguarded to help prevent staining. Glass triangle beads line the outside of the cuff where the ultrasuede and fabric are sewn together.

The 1 3/4" vintage button is enclosed in a peyote stitched beaded bezel using Japanese size 11 and size 15 seed beads and is securely attached to the top of the cuff.

This cuff easily slips onto the wrist and is adjustable to fit a 6 - 10" wrist.

Feeling Ziggish Polymer Clay Cabochon

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:46:25 -0400

$8.00
This large oval polymer clay cabochon is bright and colorful and full of zigs and zags. I created it by using the lizard tail technique which I learned from Julie Picarello (one of my polymer clay heroes.) But of course, I didn't make a lizard tail. I turned it into a cabochon.

The cab is 2 1/4" long x 1 5/8" wide (5.7cm x 4.2cm) and is between 1/8 and 1/4" (about 4mm) thick. The main colors are turquoise and purple with some slashes of lime green and splashes of yellow. The back is purple.

The cab is hand sanded using 5 different sanding grits and then hand rubbed for a soft satin finish.

Cabochons can be used in jewelry by using bead weaving and bead embroidery techniques. They can also be turned into pendants by gluing a bail on the back.

If you would like this cab turned into a pendant, please convo me prior to purchasing. I will add a silver plated bail and the cost will be an additional $2. The process of adding the bail will take one additional day before it can be mailed.
