This Bracelet Rocks! (literally)

This bracelet was inspired by my Daughter-in-Law. She loves jewelry and the bigger, the better!!!

She saw some rocks I had on a string and said she wanted a bracelet made out of them. So I made her one - and when I saw how it turned out, I had to have one too. The difference between the bracelets is I used 4mm Bicone Swarovski crystals on hers and I used 4mm Round Swarovski ABcrystals on mine.

White Lamp work Bracelet


OK, just had to throw in one more picture. This is one bracelet I made for myself.

I had made one for a young lady to wear for her wedding, and decided I liked it and made one for me too.

Is there such a thing as having too much jewelry?????

Bracelet Pictures





These are the pictures of the bracelets for my new client.

She wanted a couple of colors in Lamp work beads..
Then there are Ocean Jasper, Turquoise and some brown "dirt" colored stones.

She already has 5 bracelets out of White, pink, and red Lamp work beads, and a couple of other stone bracelets. I just have one more to make for her and it is out of Amber chips.

Time Out!

Ok, sorry I haven't been here for a while. My sister and BIL came for a visit. They live in Mesa, AZ and travel all summer. I so envy them!!!! After spending approx. 10 days here in Utah, they traveled north to Idaho and are currently sitting in McKammon - near Lava Hot Springs.

So now it is time to get back in harness and get my creative juices flowing. I have been working on several bracelets for a new customer. It is wonderful to have great referrals from great customers. It is like having "Pre-qualified" buyers.

I hope you are all doing well and having a great first few weeks of summer.

Copper Coil Pendant


I was messing around with some 10ga. copper wire and made a pendant like this. It is coiled and hammered and coated with laquer. I also had an order from St. George, UT. for some of these.

"O" Earrings


Good Grief! Has it been 3 weeks already??? OK, took another trip to St. George, UT and one of my galleries there requested these earrings. (I was wearing them at the time) So I came home and made 5 more pair. These can be purchased at the Art Metal Gallery 873 at Coyote Gulch, Ivans, UT
