Rainbow Glass Bead Necklace - Day 4

A couple of days ago I was looking at one of my bead magazines to find some ideas of jewelry to make.  I found this idea from Stringing Magazine - Fall 2009.  This necklace was made by Jean Campbell.  Here is the example of the necklace.


This necklace has seed beads
fire-polished rondelles, 
resign slices beads and
resign donut bead

I worked on this new necklace for a few days.  I had to take the beads off the ear wire to use them for this necklace.  Here is the finished necklace.  What do you think?  I just liked the style of this necklace.


The rainbow glass beads used to be earrings that I have made.  I thought this would work better for them.

Rainbow Glass Beads
Sliver Spacers
Couple of Gray Beads at the end

Stretchy Bracelet for Neighbor - Day 2

 A couple of weeks ago my neighbor gave me a box of beads that used to be a bracelet that she wore.  The elastic broke apart.  She asked me if I could make a new one for her with the beads.  I made couple of samples for her to see of what kind of bracelet she wanted.  This is the one she chose:


I had to take a bead out and one was lost but I think this came out good.  I hope she likes it.  I am learning to do the stretchy bracelets again.

4th of July Memory Wire Ring - Day 1

I am starting something new.  I have a paper bag that have product titles on piece of paper for me to choose from when I want to make something.

Today I picked out a paper saying Ring.  The only rings I know how to make are memory wire rings.

I have memory wire that looks like rings and used seed beads to make it.


I made this memory wire ring with 6/0 red, clear and blue seed beads.  Perfect for the 4th of July or Memorial Day.  $21.00

I bought the memory wire from a shop on Etsy and the 6/0 seed beads from Walmart.
