Happy New Year!!

The new year starts out with new jewelry!  I'm having so much fun coming up with different designs.  Here's a preview of the new items that I've made so far.  I've been spending a lot of time looking at videos on You Tube.  There's this company named The Potomac Bead Company and they have so many videos on really gorgeous pieces of jewelry that anyone can make.  I've been making these Super Duo bangles.  The more I make them, the better I get at them.  Here's just a sampling of what I've made so far.

This is the first bangle that I made.  The colors are Olivine and Cobalt (blue).

then I made,

 

The color for this one is really a Blue Chalky Luster and Cream...but when I took the picture it actually looks like a bluish turquoise color.  (Usually called turquoise howlite).

then I made this bracelet,

 

I liked this one!  The colors are Opaque Red Marbled Gold, Opaque Olive Green and Umber Picasso (which has some painted streaks on them).

 This is the other side of this bracelet where you can see some of the brown beads.

 

Then I thought to myself that I needed earrings to go with this bracelet ('cause I have an outfit already picked out to wear with this) :D

and came out with.....

now you can see all the colors in it.

 

 As I'm always telling people, I like to make sets...hence..

 

So many people complimented me on these pieces that I made more...well, more earrings that is.  With the intention of making bangles to go with!  (Really!)

 

Since everybody liked all that I made, all these items are gone.  But don't feel sad, :(  I will be making more of these items and in different color combinations.

 

Isn't this just gorgeous?! 

This is the finished product

 

 This is the matching bangle for one of the earrings - the colors for this one is Opaque Green Turquoise and Amethyst.  (Ah, this set is gone too!)

 

 Since I was getting so good at making the earrings, I decided to change them up a bit and came up with these.  These I'll wear with my first bracelet.

and here's my set (yep I'm keeping this one! lol!)

 

Don't despair, I did buy more of these gorgeous beads and shall be putting them all together to make more beautiful bangles and earrings.  Will make sure to post them here.  This new year holds many exciting new designs to explore and hopefully time to make them.  In the meantime, if you see anything you'd like me to make, just leave a comment and I will get back to you to discuss the specifics (like your fist and wrist size as these are customized bangles designed to fit only YOU!)

 

Until then........

 

Hope your new year holds many exciting possibilities for you too!
