My Beadwork

[Fierce Critter]

Spun from another thread. This is what I've been getting into over the past year or so.

Still working on my technique. The first one features my first dive into wire work, simple knots that didn't require a ton of sterling wire.

This is the sort of thing I hope to sell in Traverse City boutiques someday.

oooohhh. I like the red one. I like it a lot.

[SuZQZ]

Damn! Nice work. Very pretty and so different from the cookie-cutter looking jewelry I've seen out there at craft shows, etc. Luv them! Very sharp!

[Msterbeau]

I likes the middle two. Berry nice.

[Onyx]

Lovely work!

[Brenda Starrr]

OOH! The 3rd one down is my favorite!

[Nienna]

The last one, light blue, is awesome!

[Fierce Critter]

The last one, light blue, is awesome!

Thank you. It's actually a combination of clear and milky crystal chips with two different color blue Austrian crystal accents. That was actually my first one.

Brenda - I would have guessed you'd like that one! I saw that glass cheetah heart bead and I had to build something around it.

I just came into a major, major windfall. A woman a couple streets over is selling off a ton of beads. She had a box full of about 300 strands that I know go for $1.99 to $5.00 a piece - she gave it all to me for $25! I priced it all at - minimum - $550. That was before I realized they were mostly $2.99 strands and up I've seen at Michael's & JoAnne's.

She has others she was charging more for. I'm going over there tomorrow, giving her my phone number, and telling her if she wants to cut me a really, really good deal on what she has left over at the end of her sale, to call me.

Pretties!

[creatureofthenyte]

they're all awesome. Hopefully you can make some money from them, if that is what you intend.

Those are all really nice I like the 3rd one the best

I only wear one necklace. It's my Blessed Mother. However, I would actually wear that badass one you made.

[Kit Kat P]

very nice, I like your work

I don't promise anything these days, as the recovery from depression is far from complete. I'm still having major motivation/energy problems.

But if I can get my ass in gear, I might just put a duplicate together as a wedding gift for a fellow fan of leopard print.

Wow...very nice work. Where did you learn to do all that? I would normally wear beaded jewelry, but 9 times out of 10 it's too feminine for me, 'cause I'm just so very unfem. If I could make my own though....I could crank out some sexy necklaces of DOOM.

Either way, you rule just for thinking along those lines!
