Bracelets

I really do try not to keep everything  I make.    The first two photos are the bracelets I've decided not to part with.  I really like the colors of Moukite.   The buckskins,  the greens ,  browns and such.  Lovely!!

The above is leather with copper spirals,  turquoise ,  moukite and copper danglies.

This has moukite rounds and I believe the large rectangle bead is moukite.  Lot's of handmade copper and a handmade clasp.   It also sounds good when my wrist moves.

This is a memory wire bracelet made with Spiny Oyster,  Turquoise,  copper,  bone and a Christmas Bead thrown in for good measure.  JerBear has brought to my attention that I prounounce oyster...oisshter.  Hmm.

This next bracelet is made with the rectangle  moukite.   All the wire wrapping and chain is handmade.  The lobster clasp came from the beadstore.   I wove a green silk ribbon through the chain and tied moukite beads on the ends. The danglies are a mixture of beads and copper.

The next bracelet is leather ,  copper and moukite .   The more I look at it ,   the more likely I am to add more dangly items. 

The green chevron braclet looks like tiny watermelons on your wrist.  It has coral  and African silver as spacers.  The clasp is Sterling Silver. 

These three are bracelets we're taking to Cali for the grandkids school Christmas sale.   I have got to get on the ball and make more jewelry  before we leave.

 
Last but certainly not least,  is Lucia's bracelet.  She 's coming for a visit in a couple of weeks,  and as everyone knows,  company gets a piece of jewelry.   Not that we have to bribe friends to come visit......lol!!
It's not finished yet ,  but will be shortly.

Well there you have it.  I do have some unfinished pieces in the works...several actually.   I'm sort of at a standstill until I haul out the Liver of Sulpher , plastic gloves and tweezers.   It's not hard at all,  just stinky.

Thanks for looking!!!

October Jewelry

It's been a long time since I've been to my blog.   I got the latest virus off  and hopefully won't have any more problems.   Thanks to Chris,  we didn't have to spend an electric bill payment to get rid of it. 

I am really into copper and Turquoise.  I LOVE Turquoise.  

This is three different necklaces.  There is a leather and chain necklace behind the other two.  It's about 19" long.  I made the clasp and the loops on this.

The lowest hanging necklace consists of  glass, leather, copper and Arizona  and Mexican Turquoise.   I made the large rings and wrapped them,  the smaller chain,  the connections  and then I patina'd them.   It can be worn at a 20" length or just a little longer.  It has turquoise and a handmade copper dangly on the end.

The middle necklace has three sets of three disc Turquoise.   I made the connecting loops.  The large chain closes with a large oxidized lobster clasp.   It's 18 and a half inches long.

 This necklace is 16" long at the neck,  but the two kinds of black chain extends much longer.  The gemstones are Black Onyx  round beads and square Sardonyx.   The wire used to connect the small Onyx beads is made from annealed steel.  So,  if it gets wet,  be sure to dry it!  It has a black lobster clasp.

This necklace is made from Peacock Colored Pearls.  I actually bought the pearls two years ago,  and made them into a necklace that I wore for dinner the first night on our  cruise.   I paired them with copper.   It's 20" long.

I have some bracelets made that I haven't photo'd yet.   Some of them,  when I got them finished,  I decided to keep!!   I'll be sure and show those too!! 

I have to run ,  but I hope to have those posted later today.  

Thanks for stopping by!!
