beaded heron - Bead Journal - Freeform Peyote Bracelet...: "This off white and gold freeform peyote bracelet turned out very beautiful; it's a pity I can't seem to get one decent photo of it that shows the detail, so I ended up taking several more detailed shots.
Seed beads in many sizes of off white and gold are accented with pearls, seashells, and Swarovski Crystal cubes to make up this goregous piece of wearable art..."

I love the addition of seashells to this design - what a great idea!

Two Loose Teeth: Sarah: Beading, and oh yeah, Valentine's Day

Two Loose Teeth: Sarah: Beading, and oh yeah, Valentine's Day: "I made a long necklace with the idea that I could double it up for a relaxed 2-strand look. Then I had some leftover beads, so I went ahead and made a matching bracelet.

I used monochromatic beads (sort of avacado/lime-ish color) and six different shapes. The clasps are silver lobster clasps. I tried to keep the organization fairly random, and I'm quite pleased with the end result."

Isn't it great when you have leftover beads and can make more stuff? woohoo!

Mazel Tov! Jewelry Treasures: A freeform neckpiece on a sterling silver armature

Mazel Tov! Jewelry Treasures: A freeform neckpiece on a sterling silver armature: "After making numerous bead-embroidered neckpieces, I was looking for a change of technique. Freeform peyote, netting, and brick stitch appeal to me, but I still wanted some sort of support for the work. Heavy gauge sterling silver wire makes an excellent armature to work around. My inspiration for this piece came from Lynda Musante's lovely book, Exquisite Beaded Jewelry. Lynda shows how to make a bracelet using wire links as a base. My piece uses a single strand of wire instead, but the look is very similar, so I would be remiss in not acknowledging her inspiration! "

This is a magnificent neckpiece - take a look at Cyndi's full post, as she takes you step by step through the process of creating it.
