Week 10, Chantal Bracelet

Week 10, 10-27, Chantal Bracelet

I had fun doing this bracelet and will definitely make more. The picture doesn't show the beauty of the stones in this, but their translucence really makes this bracelet pretty.

Week 9, Pinky Ring

Week 9, 10-20, Pinky Ring

Was late posting this on Webshots for 2 reasons:
1- a little old lady in a wheelchair made off with the first one
2- computer problems

that's my story and i'm sticking to it! *g*

Week 8, 10-13, Copper Charm

Copper Charm- i really had fun playing with the colors in this bracelet! the design is from Stop by Step Wire (Connie Fox) and i thank Eni Oken for her helpful color scheme software. Unfortuanately copper is just too soft for the s-hooks and it wants to come apart... :o(, so i may have to try it again in half hard silver sometime. i don't know if i would wear something this "jingley" but i DO like it- go figure!

Week 6, 9-30, Crescent Necklace

This was a real learning experience for me...... MEASURING is sometimes necessary!
Week 6, 9-29, Crescent Necklace

Week 5, 9-22, Dragontail chain

I was trying my darndest to do dragonscale and failing miserably, so i caught the dragon by the tail, so to speak! i did finally figure it out after doing this chain, so it did help me see some of the relationships i needed to see in order to learn it, so it was worth my time. as a chain, it's ok, but a few charms would help lots!

Hi everyone and thanks for suffering with me through all this. i decided that yahoo was too much of a pia because it wouldn't let me do anything without my computer freezing up, so i decided to move to blogger and i hope i don't regret it. so far it seems much more user friendly.
