A Few New Designs

I've been hanging on to these special Checkerboard beads for years now.  They aren't the easiest style of lampwork beads to make. You have to get just the perfect amount of black and white glass to melt evenly on the bead to form the squares.  I poked through some of my bead stash and found these cute black & white Poppy flower beads that I think compliment the Checkerboard beads perfectly.

A closer look....

This is my first attempt at a wrapped bracelet. Fairly time consuming since each one of the squares has to be wrapped through twice to secure it to the cording. We're talking over 3 hours to put this puppy together. I'm keeping it :-)

Cherry Charm Watch

I've been busy designing this rainy afternoon. I recently received a number of new watch faces, my watch inventory is low, so I figured I'd work up some new pieces to share. Clicking on the "Cherry Charm Watch" title above will magically take you over to Artfire.com where you can read the details. Thanks for letting me share.

Poppy Flower Watch.......

Friday, the start of a holiday weekend. I hope everyone has a safe and restful time. Enjoy!

I had a chance to create a smaller "Poppy Flower" watch recently. This Oh so Cute, Artisan crafted, One of A Kind, little bit of "Art" is available in my Artfire.com shop for sale. It measures 6 3/4 inches in length and was designed using glass lampwork beads, Czech glass leaves, and glass cherry red beads. The toggle clasp makes it very easy to put on and take off.
