Summer green

With some foil lined glass beads, pearl discs and a heart clasp you'll go far in the summer :)
Reminds me of grass and leaves and all things green.
It's just strung onto fishing line cause I still can't master the art of wire and crimps... they always break!

Dark purple sparkles

If there's such a thing as totally and utterly busy that's been me lately... and it's not looking to improve any time soon. Well, at least the weather is nice outside my window and I can eat as many strawberries as I want!
I actually don't know what the stones in this necklace is called, but they're cool and sparkly :)
with some black seed beads mixed in.

Don't get burnt!

Black necklace / bracelet

Oh, don't we like a little multitasking?! :) Two strands of black seed beads joined by black onyx chips and other black accent beads. Twisted around the wrist it makes a multi strand bracelet but it would work just as well as a necklace.

Turquoise dreams

I had a mix of blue and turquoise size 8 seed beads, there was just enough for a peyote strip... with some matching glass beads stitched on top it turned out quite well. Hope this can spur on the summer a bit! A wee swim in the sea perhaps? ;)

Blue blue blue

I got these lamp work beads as a gift and wasn't sure what to do with them but then I found the blue glass beads and some turquoise crystal quartz and a bracelet was born. :)

Monochrome simple bracelet

Pick up a few beads, string them onto some fishing line and one two three you've got a new bracelet / necklace. Quite good for spare and left-over beads. I made this ages ago, I'm currently more into pearls and pearl knotting, posts to follow...
Enjoy the weekend!

Stars

After my wavy ropes I had this idea that you can connect a few wavy ropes into one bracelet. This has rose quartz stars and black seed beads. The clasp is two stars which isn't the best and it took me ages to get the loop size right!
But you never know these things until you try... ;)

Crystal Cube bracelet

Still at work in the lovely weather... :) I do like the sun.
Crystal quartz can be used for a lot of things, these are stitched on a base of square stitched silver lined cubes. It catches the light nicely when the sun comes out
I've got so many ideas but so little time and actually not much space left for bracelets... might need a new chest of drawers ;)

Enjoy the sun
