Hi everybody!

Same old, this time in copper. I'm not very inspired atm...

Andee, they are both lovely but I'm particularly taken with the first bracelet. The ceramic floral cylinder beads work really well with the copper and red glass, unusual and striking.

Morning Andee, For someone that is "not very inspired" you are certainly creating beautiful pieces.

Hi Claire...and everyone else :wave:

Good Morning all!
Andee, I agree with Debi, Your not inspired? WOW!! Keep up the great "non-inspired:D " work!
Carrie, I think the briolette type bead would be awesome wire wrapped. But tis very eye catching the way it is! I love the little pearl with the heart and shiny red bead!:wink2:
Hi Claire.How are you?

For me today, my first try at chain maille ( of some kind:D ) I think it came out ok!? Your comments would be great!

[TheBlueBetween]

Andee, that second bracelet is VERY inspired - love it!!! The first one is very romantic and pretty too.

[TurtleBay Jewelry]

Morning all!

Andee, lovely warm tones.
Carrie, good to see you working away still!

As for me, some new experimentation in woven bits and silver bits and glass bits. :)

[TheBlueBetween]

Danielle, I just love the way you combine colors. Of course your shapes and textures are amazing too. So pretty.

[ArtofGlass]

Andee - I love the copper. The bracelets are beautiful! My favorite is the one with the rose beads.:) I use silver all the time - I really should break free.

Carrie - What a sweet necklace! I like the briolette the length it is, not sure I would change that.

Polly - This is a very bold and striking piece - It must have taken forever to put all those links together!

Danielle - I love your "Little Bits" bracelets. They are just plain cute! Do you make your own lampwork too because the beads you used are really fun.

Nothing from me today - guess I oughta get busy! :)

[Dawnt0721]

Here are my beads for my V-day bracelet. I love them as they are but her favorite color is purple and I was hoping they would come out with a bit more purple in them. I don't really have time to make another set of beads so I'm hoping maybe combining these with amethysts will bring out the purple in them. If anyone has suggestions I could use them!

Hola, all!

Andee, not feeling inspired? I hate it when that happens :( Although since I started wearing my peach aventurine, I'm feeling much more creative, lol.

Pretty Valentine's necklace, Carrie :)

Polly, maille is addictive, be warned.. :evil: it's looking good so far!

Danielle, it's nice to see you posting again! What material are you weaving there, exactly?

Dawn, purple crystals might bring out good colour, too, since they catch the light so well. I like those, too!

[happyone4ever]

Thanks for the kind words Denise and Susie. I think I'm feeling that addiction;).
Dawn the beads are gorgeous! I bet they will look perfect with the amethysts. Can you post another pic after you get it done?

[stonecutter]

hi to all :-)

very nice contributions of all, and i had to decide which is most pretty to me, i had difficulty... maybe andees copper bracelet...that appeals a lot to me...

from me a pendant again. i carved from a single rock piece ;-) ... the white is marble (arghhh terribly soft stone ... hihi..) the green is zoisit, and the red on back is ruby, second hardest stone on world ... yes, and is less tha 3,5 cm high ... i hope you enjoy this one ...

[Andee]

Carrie - lovely valentine necklace!

Polly - neat job on the chain maille, cute hearts!

Danielle - great work as always, love the fun colours!

Dawn - I like those beads and I think amethyst will be a lovely addition to them!

Stonecutter - great frog, how long did it take to finish?

And thanks all for your nice words! :)

[stonecutter]

about 50 hours...but i really enjoyed doing this .-)

[winter_glass]

WoW.....you all are amazing artists.......Pretty stunning Lady's
OK i don't make jewlery...but i did try once..don't laugh at my pitiful attempt at a Connie fox style bracelet

[claire.c]

Carrie, that's sweet, what a pretty heart.

Lovely work Polly, you've really made a lovely job of that. I'm fine thanks, but short of time for jewellery-making, sadly.

Danielle, what fun pieces, I love their random quality.

Dawn, I WANT those beads (olive green and purple are my favourite colours). I don't know if this would work but if you did some wire wrapping around the edge with tiny purple beads included in the wrap it might make the overall impression more purple than green, Just a thought.

Stonecutter, that is just amazing work. It must be so difficult working in stones which vary in hardness.

Ronnie, those bracelets are excellent, you have a great sense of balance.

[Liliana]

All of these things are beautiful. Such a good job ladies. I want to wear it all! Except the frog. I would hold the frog, and turn him all around in the sunlight, and admire him. :rolleyes:

[betelzeus]

Hello all , I'm kinda new here ... I wanted to try to post some of my stuff i guess heheh ...

Anyways here goes i guess :D

http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/09-Feb-2006/76301-pendant.jpg

And last , well sorta i guess hahah ... but not least ... That was actually one of the first pieces of jewelry I had made. This one was also a gift , for someone who is very dear to me. So i guess you can say i was a bit inspired for that one :D

I was also going to post a couple of other pieces I had done here ... but i just realised that emm... the first two i was going to post .. wasn't wearable art ... they were tiles ... of sorts .. so ... i guess I'll go try to find the right section to post those in heheh ...

Anyways any comments are most welcome :)

Great work everyone, I have to say the carved froggy amazed me most, I have absolutely no idea where one even starts to do that ! I have seen places where they carve jade and there was some serious industrial equipment happening ! Fiona

[Andee]

Ronnie - I don't see anything pitiful about those bangles, they're lovely!

Chris - very nice work!

[stonecutter]

Great work everyone, I have to say the carved froggy amazed me most, I have absolutely no idea where one even starts to do that ! I have seen places where they carve jade and there was some serious industrial equipment happening ! Fiona

hi thanks ! i appreciate very much...i have seen the carvings you sell on your webpage, those inspire me a lot ...
no, i don´t have industrial equipment, just a flexible shaft machine, with diamond carving burrs, and selfmade tools from bamboo or wood , which i charge with diamond grit ... the rest is just patience...

[Dawnt0721]

Ronnie - your bracelets are awesome - nothing to laugh at!

Chris - that set is gorgeous - what kind of stone is that?

Stonecutter - wow what a cute froggy. Great job!

Danielle - I love those bracelets!

Polly - you did a great job with your chainmail :clap: .

Andee - I always looove your bracelets.

Ok so I went backward lol. Thanks for your suggestions for the beads. I worked with them for about an hour and decided it just didn't feel right for this person so I changed the project back to the original idea of a PMC pendant. I will still get these beads made up into something but for right now have to concentrate on the custom order.

[betelzeus]

Hey, Andee and Dawn thank you for the compliments :)


Dawn - and emm... it's a glass stone that I made myself ... it's a white base with a mix of dichroic on top

[gbot]

Lovely work everyone. Everyone has so much talent......you should all be proud of yourselves. I haven't posted any work for awile, still busy beading though. I've gotten several orders, so when I'm done with them I will post a picture. I do come on daily to peek at what lovlies you all post. Never disappointed!

Cool! I love dichro!

[Gypsy*]

Awesome, everyone! Beautiful work! I've finally gotten a peek at what I missed in January, but it will be awhile before I'm up to playing with my stash. Still recovering from my dble. lung transplant nicely, and looking at your pretties just makes me want to recoperate faster!

Sylvia, Glad you are doing better! Cant wait till YOU can play with the pretties:) .
