Bracelets

White Dagger Bracelet

Every once in a while I really like to do some stitched work. This dagger bracelet is really fun to make. I always like to use one of my lampwork beads so this one is the toggle to latch the bracelet closed. 

$45.00

Etched Soft Bracelet

The clear and black of this bracelet are softened with etching, making them matte rather than shiny.  There is stitched work between each of the lampwork beads and the toggle is designed to allow any one to wear it but buckling on whatever loop makes it the right length leaving the last two beads dangling.

$65.00

Clear and Black Zig Zag Bracelet

This is a bracelet made from a pattern designed by Carole Rodgers who is a friend that often does the same bead shows.  Again the lampwork bead as the toggle is one of mine.

$35.00

Winter Skies

This bracelet makes me think of winter skies pale gray blue some days and nice bright blue others.  It has five dangly lampwork beads as charms and big Austrian crystal in the bracelet. 

$70.00

Spring Thaw

Just as the last bracelet made me think of winter this one makes me think of spring.  I think it is the wonderful bright green just like new leave peaking out of the ground.  The little flat silver beads in between the lampwork reflect the light for a lovely sparkle.

$55.00

North West

I have looked at this bracelet many times and I was never sure of what to call or say about it, but tonight it reminded me of when we were in British Colombia.  This color combination is used allot by the native people there.  There is lots of lampwork in this bracelet.

$70.00

Turquoise twister

The lampwork beads in this bracelet have an aged look as if they are ancient artifacts.  The turquoise leaves a black outline on the ivory so when I chose the seed beads to stitch into the bracelet I added a little black.  The toggle is copper.

$65.00

Sundrenched

Nice bright yellow and clear make for a cheerful bracelet.  Of course all the sterling and crystal can not hurt.

$50.00

Pink and Black Cha Cha

There are 35 hand made beads in this bracelet, all wired together with sterling wire and headpins.  It has a great wiggle and a wonderful noise as you wear it. I love the little flowers and the pink.

$170.00

Red, White, & Blue

Well I should be thinking Christmas colors but here instead is a dainty little Red, White, and Blue Bracelet.  The lampwork beads in this are small for all the decoration I have on them, only about 1/2 inch at the largest point.

$45.00

Red, White, and Black Tab

The white fringe on this bracelet is stitched around five decorated lampwork beads.  The four smaller beads have raised red splashes on them and the center focal is a tab shaped bead with a design you can see many things in. 

$75.00

Blue Bugle

I really have fun making these bugle bead bracelets with the tiny picot edge.  The flower toggle bead is one of my lampwork beads with a raised flower.

$35.00

Red Loopy Fringe

This is a new style of bracelet for me.  It's gray, black and red beads are crocheted in loops onto a thin crocheted base.  It was a lot of fun to make so I might try it again.

$105.00

Jewels

If you can't tell I am into making charm bracelets these days.  This one has some new beads in it that I just started making, they are very smooth looking transparent shapes.  The blues and greens of this piece make me think of spring and things growing.  A friend just called these jewels and I think that is what we will call this.

$90.00

 Capri Splash

This bracelet is all tropical and makes me think of a splash of fresh water.  It was very hard to get a good picture of with all the transparent glass both the Capri blue and clear.  Of course the silver is all sterling and it adds even more to the reflective quality of the piece. 

$120.00

Brown & Green Stitch

This freeform stitched bracelet has 6 lampwork beads with seed beads laced all around them.

$65.00
