Wibble wobble

This is actually one of the first bracelets I ever made! It's a square stitched frame which is held together with wiggly bits in the middle. Again with black and grey... what else?! :) The fastening is a homemade version of a button... I really need to rethink that. It works but it is a bit fiddly.

Almost lunch time!!

Monochrome bracelet

I find brick stitch a bit fiddly... but the final result turned out quite well. :)
Just simple white and black seed beads.
Now Lemsip to cure my cold. Happy bank holiday tomorrow!

In the rope

Black Millifiori beads, black onyx nuggets and some seed beads make this little bracelet.
I've got hundreds of new ideas but not the time to do them all... maybe I should just quit my job ;) not been enjoying it much lately but hoping the weekend will make it better.
Have a great weekend! I'm thinking Star Trek at the IMAX...

Berry grey memory wire

When you get bead mixes from JBS beads there's enough for a few bracelets. This is the berry grey mix with a few pearly glass beads mixed in on memory wire.
My work week has been horrendous but at the weekend I was quite productive. Pictures will come...

Crazy pink

There's nothing really that says the whole bracelet has to have the same design all over... this is a mix of peyote stitched bits and strung beads. Endless opportunities :)
The beads are seed beads and pink rings from the bead company in Glasgow and all the focal beads are from a mix bought from JBS beads. The clasp is a slide clasp.
I quite fancy making something similar but with more variation and not just peyote (although it's the easiest stitch...). Maybe that'll make it too crazy!?
Happy Sunday!

Wavy ropes



Swarovski crystals are amongst the most sparkly beads around. These are mixed with matte black seed beads in a wavy rope design. I wear them separate or mixed together. Although I need to watch out for the X-mas theme with the red and green together... :)
The clasp on the yellow bracelet is a little bird I got as a birthday gift from Ash. Love it!
Wavy ropes are dead easy and any colors of beads can be used! Try one... ;)
