Last Bracelet for the Day - End of Day Bead

Last piece for this day, just finished it and it's the only one I have. This pretty little bracelet bead was made using that new press mentioned previously. Beautiful shades of blues - sort of an end of day bead - matching spacer beads and crystals. Sterling silver bars and a sterling push clasp with weighted safety chain finish off the piece - really, really pretty.

Beautiful, Bold Bracelet

Jump right in 'cause this bracelet is not for the faint-hearted. Bold, black and ivory beads with a couple of funky silver beads make this bracelet complete - these beads match some of the one's in the totem pole posted about a month ago. Liked 'em so much, made some more.

Bodacious Neckwear - Beads & Turquoise

This is definitely a statement piece. Big beads with a bold shape and design, strung with turquoise and my hammered clasp - a great look, all year long.

FYI - FYI - FYI . . .

Just wanted to let everyone know I've re-opened my ETSY account - just showing beads for now, but after my last show of the year will probably list some jewelry and see how it goes. Not sure how to enter a link to just click on to take you to my page, so you'll have to copy and paste the following to find me: *** www.etsy.com/shop/grammyglass *** (but omit out the *'s)

Something New for the Summer

A new press I'd ordered from Germany came a couple of weeks ago and I finally found the time to give it a try. The spiral focal bead is coupled with some natural stones that perfectly match in color (of course, they're probably dyed - I should get out those lapidary journals again . . . . well, maybe later!) Anyway, I really like the look of the finished piece - it will make it's debut in Myrtle Beach.
