Finally here are two pieces of jewelry!

I can not believe that I have gone for a full week without picking up a bead! This is very very unusual for me. I try to bead at least a couple of hours to keep learning more techniques and weaves. The first two pictures are a "beaded bead". I have taken numerous graduated sizes and textures of beads, wove them together to make a solid bead. I really liked making this one. It is made with blood red, silver, and black beads. The center bead slides on and off of the herringbone chain. I have added Swarvoski crystals to link the herringbone together.


This bracelet is such a pleasure for me to make. It is called "Flat Cellini" and the pattern came from a local shop (On the Rocks). On the Rocks is one of my favorite shopping spots! I have made this Flat Cellini in numerous. (I like the teal & silver the best, so far.) I made a round loop on the end from a size 15 bead. This is one of the most comfortable bracelets I have ever made besides being stunning to wear. If you have a favorite color range, I can make a custom order for you...hint, hint.
I am going to post some of the "Journals of Love" that Cora mentioned at Digital Two for Tuesdays. I have been making them every since Shirley posted about this project. So far I have made 32 "Journals of Love"....Please check out my next post for all the information.
Do you like the jewelry? I MUST get back to beading again on a routine basis.
Thanks for stopping by,
Sharon
