Freeform Fall

FREEFORM BRACELET FOR FALL

You may recognize this bracelet from an earlier photo when I made this bracelet.
I'm all excited that it's finally the time of year to wear my beautiful creation.
No, I'm certainly not modest about my bracelet!
It was my first freeform creation
and I'm very proud of it.

Being a blue-eyed blonde,
I don't wear browns except in the fall,
but I do love the autumnal colors!

I have so many bracelets made in shades of brown
that I'm tempted to wear them all at once
so that I'm sure each one gets seen before we turn to
the colors of Christmas!

Another of Harry's Pieces

My most recent purchase from Harry!
It's called 'Bracelet Squared'.
It arrived in my mail box a week ago and I've worn it everywhere I've been!
Love it!
I can't wait to take a class from this woman!!!!!

Bubbles, Bumps, and Baubles

It's too hot to get out and do anything, so I'm experimenting with a new version of Peyote stitch - at least it's new to me.
I saw a picture of a bracelet similar to this and decided to figure it out.
I think I did pretty well.
More bracelets in this style will be appearing soon!

Freeform Peyote Bracelet - 1st Piece

This is my first bracelet done in freeform peyote style.
Those little bright orange beads are cubic zirconia.
I hated the price, but loved the brilliant addition to the bracelet.

Pearl Teapot Bracelet

I've been having great fun making these pearl teapot bracelets.
The ideal compliment to your afternoon tea, these bracelets are made with Swarovski pearls and sterling findings.
The top and bottom of the teapot are sterling as is the toggle clasp which consists of a teapot and teaspoon.
What fun!
The overall length is 8 1/4 inches, but can be custom made in any size you wish.
The perfect gift for all of your tea friends!
