It's Friday Eve...YEA!!!

Well...it is, I mean isn't Thursday the day before Friday? So that makes it Friday Eve and that makes the weekend feel so much closer. HEHE

I finished working on the little beaded memory wire fish bracelet. I think it turned out really cute. Trying to decide if I'm going to do a hemp bracelet to go with it. Ohhhh who am I kidding, I probably will. ^_^

Cute, ri iight? I think the bronze and blue look great together. I even added a tiny bronze seashell charm to the back.

I showed ya'll this one yesterday but I changed something on it and wanted to show you. I added one of my silver infinity clasp since the focal bead was a larger one than I normally use, it made it a bit heavier. I don't know if most know this but my bracelets will fit wrists size 7-9. (HEY...not everyone has a size 7 wrist...me included)

 Yes....you can do the clasp yourself. I mean...if I can do it, YOU can do it too. 

 I love how this looks like a true hippie/BoHo bracelet but it needed a little sumthin sumthin...so I added the hemp rope bracelet. It has a Tibetan bead and vintage pearl attached to match the pearl and bead on the memory wire bracelet. 

Looks very Bohoish and hippie!!!

Now I'm off to make some of my clay charms that I use when making my little paper gift boxes. I've been thinking about making a few and selling them in a set of three in my Etsy shop. What do YOU think?

Until next time............Hugs,

Wednesday workings!!!

Well.....I guess ya'll probably think that we have been having one heck of a time at the BBQ & Blues festival we went to on Saturday. Once again, please forgive for the delay in posting and Nooooo we haven't been at the event all this time..hehe  We did have a fun time, sampling oh so good BBQ, listening to some really awesome music and dancing in the rain. Yeppers....it rained and rained and rained but HEY....didn't keep us from having an outstanding time.

It did rain the rest of the weekend and even Monday with a few sprinkles here and there yesterday morning. I like it when it rains and no I don't mean because it makes for good nap weather. Although, it does make for some really good napping but I used the time indoors to work on some beaded memory wire and braided rope bracelets. Matter of fact, I'm still working on some today.

This is what I'm currently working on. I so love blue and bronze hues together. It definitely reminds me of the sun setting over the ocean. This bracelet is going to have a focal piece of this cute lil glass fish bead. I'm not sure if you can see them but he has blue and bronze stripes.

Here's some of the bracelets I worked on the last few days and if you're interested, they are in my Etsy shop.

The last one is one of my twisted square knot braided rope ones. The big bead in the center is a ceramic bead and reminds me of a dragon's egg. I used one on one of the beaded memory wire ones too. I just love them.

I'm trying to decide if I want to make a few twisted rope bracelets to go with some of these. I love wearing several different styles at the same time. Yes, yes....that hippie bohemian soul does so love to come out. What do you think? Do you like to wear multiple bracelets?

Until next time...........Hugs,

TGIF...and it's BBQ & Blues weekend!!!

Happy Happy Friday to all and I hope you have plans for fun and adventure this weekend. I know that we surely do because it's that time of year again. What time you ask? BBQ and Blues time..that's what time!! It's a annual event here in Foley and is fastly becoming THE place to be. Music from 11am until 5pm. If  you are near here then stop on by to listen to some AWESOME music and oh yeah.....eat some BBQ. Tickets are only $10 per person (10 and under FREE) and you get to taste all the BBQ you can eat. Yeppers, this event is a BBQ cook off to see who just really does have the best BBQ in the area. It will most certainly be a BBQ-licious time!!

Now for those that come to visit me I guess ya noticed that I have been missing for a week. No worries, all's good here...now. It's just been a rather stressful two weeks and last week I just needed some down time. Of course, ya'll that know me know me, know that I didn't just sit. My art is my therapy and that I do more of when I'm feeling down and blue. Since I did have several pieces of my shell jewelry made I had a sweet little week of sales. That cheered me up BIG TIME. Thank you to all that purchased ^_^   I have a 20% off promotion going on from now until Monday and to receive it all ya have to do is use the word BEACH at checkout. Since I did have a good week in sales, I'm currently working on some more pieces. ^_^

Here's one that I just finished and Boy oh Boy did it take me back to my hippie days.I have always loved hemp rope jewelry and I discovered I had some real beauty of some shells to make this piece with. It's bigger than any I have made so far. See................

The base is a scallop shell and inside is a broken Murex shell along with a glass vial filled with some of our beach sand. Yeah yeah...I'm an outlaw..hehe...NOT!!!  I get my sand from the shells once I clean them. Ya can't imagine how much stays inside of them when ya pick them up. Inside of the vial also are some pieces of coral and tiny shells and some tiny pieces of sea glass. The outside of the vial has two tiny barnacles attached.

I did one of my twisted square knot cords and this necklace can be worn at 20 inches all the way up to 38 inches. The closure is one of my twisted square knot ones so that you just slip it over your head and can wear it at different lengths. (everything from the 20 in between up to the 38)

I have also been working on some of my beaded memory wire bracelets and plan on getting several added to the shop by next week. That is if folks stop buying them before I even get them finished...hehe. That's alright though.....I just like that they are liked and are selling. Here's one that I have made two of so far and am patiently waiting on more wire to get here so I can make yet another one.

Now....it's time to get to work. I hope that you have a fantastic weekend. Get out and do something FUN!!

Until next time...............HUGS,
