My 1st peyote cab & multistitch necklace

Just finished this tonight, my 1st attempt at peyoting around a cab, I ripped it to pieces once & swore a little bit but it came out nicely in the end. The neckstrap is made with tubular raw, beaded beads & spiral rope. It's quite an adventurous piece for me & I enjoyed making, I have a few new ideas from it too I think.

New peyote bracelet

I needed a plain black bracelet for a work thing on Monday but wanted a bit of embellishment on it, of course I have very few black accents so I came up with this. I have a few other ideas from it that I hope to make soon.

Pendant quick fix.

I made the necklace in the 1st photo a while ago & have to admit it's sooo boring. So today I thought I would give it a bit of a make-over, a couple of peyote strips & a starflower from Diane Fitzgeralds Beaded Garden book & it's much nicer. Quick, easy & economical, three of my favourite things!

Red & Gold Collar.

I made this for a challenge on the UK Beaders Forum. It had to be completed by this w/e & I started it late Thursday night, remind me never to do that again. I am quite pleased but it's not quite what I wanted, I had intended to do extra layers of netting but it was just too much work. I have wanted a collar for ages though & now I finally have one.

Quick & Simple Peyote Bracelet.

I made this quick & easy bracelet yesterday. The pattern is by Julie Walker & it's in Beadwork Aug/Sep 06. I took tons of photo's but this was the best I could do. I really need to take a course or something.

Woven bracelet.

I finally got my issue of the April Bead & Button last Wednesday. It was a good issue, there were quite a lot of projects that I really liked, sometimes it's just 1 or 2. This bracelet caught my eye & I just had to make one. The base is peyote stitch with a netted embellishment.

First Post

Wow, I can't believe I've finally done this, I've been talking about it for long enough. I am thinking about signing up for the Four Seasons of Jewellery 2006/07 Project & figured I might as well go the whole hog & set up a journal.

Just to test this out here is a photo of a bracelet I created for the seed bead bracelet challenge on the Bead & Button Forum.
