Rolo Unchained Bracelet

Last Week's Class @ Beadfx Inc.

Last week Tuesday I had the pleasure of teaching five lovely ladies the ancient art of pearl knotting http://beadfx.com/classes/class_show.php?class_id=66. They ( with the exception of one lady) all made double strand pearl knotted bracelets. Donna, on the other hand, made a necklace. Thank you ladies for sharing in the Beady Arts experience.

As usual I'll let the pictures do the talking - enjoy!!!!

Ivory & Sticks

Oh I just love these two together – I can visualize myself stepping out with this bracelet and a simple pair of earrings (that I’m in the process of designing). Where am I going? Well I haven’t decided yet, but wherever it is I’m gonna have a grand time!!!! For more on Ivory & Sticks go to: http://beadfx.com/inspirations/inspirations.php?id=546

Para mi mama - Crochet Rope Bracelet. I made this for my mother. During my last visit to Trinidad & Tobago, it was my intention to teach my mother and sis this technique but it was way too hectic so I made her this instead.

Etching with Cindy Goldrick @ Beadfx

Yesterday I took an Etching class @ Beadfx with Cindy Goldrick and she prepared the print on the copper and the rest was mine to complete. My keys are now happier. I'm gonna add some beads to this of course by the end of the day.

This is my first etched piece - I drew my signature palm tree on a sun of course and I'm really pleased with the end result. I'm yet to decide what this is going to be.

Etched pieced that's going to be turned into a cuff.

I just love that bamboo stamp.

Fish ! Fish ! All kinda fish - this maybe made into a pendant.

Silver Swing

Simply string on the Lentil onto the Crowned Ball Headpin and add a 6mm Caribbean Blue Opal Swarovski round crystal or any other colour of your choice.
