Rings done...Pendant Started!

 
 
Finished the two rings I was working on. Really like them both but one I like better than the other.
 
Which do you like the best?  The peacock eye or the purple?

Next project is this larimar piece that I want as a pendant to hang on a silver necklace.

 
Flash!
 
Finished!

Rings and Things

 
 
Started this first ring and did not have enough crystals to complete it...bought them today so it is being completed except for the band and I think I will save that to do at crafts on Tuesday.
 
 
The rivoli looks blue in the picture however it is a purple blue and really looks more purple in real life.  It needs its crystals and band but it won't be long.

 
Bought another hand today to hold more rings...I love rings.

For Carol

Still Seedbeading


Guess I needed someone to encourage me just a little. Thank you Carol for asking if I am still beading. I am indeed beading. I do not vary my work as much perhaps as I once did, but I still am plugging away.

This particular fringed bracelet "Tiger Tiger" spent a year before I added the fringe around the cabachon.  I never felt it was how I wanted it. I do now!

 
In the last year and a half or so I have created about 30 crystal and beaded rings. The center of most have a Swarovski rivoli. The rest is 4mm Swarovski bicones and seed beads in 11 and 15
 

The black and white flamingo bracelet is partially fringed on a peyote black base. The cabachon was a gift from Amy, my niece.  She knows that my whole house is decorated in flamingos and I love them. 


I will have to finish fringing the bracelet as the weight of the cab and fringe make the heavy part turn under and all that is seen is the plain bracelet with the snap closure

 
Thank you again Carol for getting me busy blogging.
