I've accomplished one of my goals. I made one design of overwrapped wire earrings. I love them and have done this design in one other color.
I looked at some old brass charms I had and saw a different possibility. They went from being fishing basket charms to being textured components in a gemstone bracelet.
Beautifully subtle and so textural, this handcrafted bracelet features a sterling silver oval – handcut and textured, accented by sandcast beads in golden hues with lovely stripe detailing in brown, green, and a bit of blue. Swarovski crystals in ...
Most of us can achieve more when we have SOME kind of deadline or a stated, specific, doable goal. Go "on the record" in this group, with what you want to do next. Post results. We'll cheer you on and be inspired by you. Go!
Hand-cut sterling silver rectangles, textured and darkened. They set the stage for simply beautiful handcrafted post earrings. Kyanite faceted ovals complete the design echoing the texture of the silver. These earrings are approximately 2” long.
Dark, romantic, modern, and truly original. This gorgeous necklace features an eclectic tassel made of textured and distressed sterling silver and copper with lush bead in shades of garnet, rose, champagne, bronze, and green.

Nuanc, thanks for the compliment and the comment about the bra is too funny. Several years ago, I used to make hand-beaded tassels and was told I could start a little sideline making costumes for strippers, so you never know... :-)
ooh! gorgeous!
Fields of blue flowers and beautiful days come to mind with these lovely earrings. Seven glass blue flower beads are stitched onto a hand-beaded base of blue beads with golden toned edges. The gorgeous blue tones are further accented by a blue cry...

Quietly intriguing, these earrings feature tiny silver spirals accented with crystal, wee African Trade Beads, a bit of garnet glass, and Hill Tribes silver. They are 1 ¾” long with sterling silver French earwires.
Beautiful soft tones of cream, tan, and light topaz combine in this elegantly sophisticated handcrafted bracelet. The smooth stones are golden agate. They are enhanced with cream coral, crystal, and little gold-filled spacer beads.
