"Goal" bracelet

Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows that I'm always trying to lose weight. So in my latest quest to motivate myself, I made a bracelet to give me a visual reminder to focus on my goal, not just on what I want right now. See more here.

The pics aren't the greatest. Graduated Swarovski crystals in the middle, with black and clear silver-lined seed beads on memory wire. The smaller crystals going to the larger are to represent movement toward my goals. Hopefully it will help!

FINALLY!! A new entry.

I didn't realize it has been over a year since I've updated this. I have been making jewelry. Just not posting anything. Sorry.

Here is a bracelet and earring set I made for my mother last year.

The large green squares are cannibalized from an old watch, and the pale green beads are seeds of some sort.

Mary's Christmas bracelet

My bestest customer, Mary, brought in a picture from a magazine of a watch. She didn't want the watch face, but wanted to know if I could make the bracelet. I can't find a picture of the original on line, but here is my version.

Glama tree

Here is this year's version of the Glama tree, which decorates my desk at work.

Earring wreath

This is a wreath I made for my cube at work. I had a lot of miscellaneous clip and screw-back earrings, some of which on their own were kinda ugly. But all together, they look great! I love the pink poinsettias, too.

Necklaces

Here are a couple of necklaces I created using larger focal beads as pendants.

For the first necklace, I used eye pins to create the links, instead of string the beads on wire.

Football bracelet

My nephew, Joshua, is on the football team at Casey-Westfield High School. I decided my sister need some appropriate jewelry to wear to the games.
