Stuff Finished, Stuff Working On, Stuff Waiting

I thought I showed you these. Guess I didn’t.

Finished Last Week.

I showed you these buttons but never did show you the finished necklace. I like how it turned out. Especially the clasp area. Those little 3 strand connectors are great. I got them last year at one of the Bead Fest shows. I bought 2 in gold and 2 in silver. Now I wish I had purchased more.

This set was created from peyote tubes made for another necklace which didn’t work out. So I flattened them.

And turned them into this. A necklace and earrings set. Hot pink and black.

Don’t think I have ever created anything like this before. Hubby likes it. He asked if I was going to make it in another color. Not sure. I might. I have these cube beads in light blue, light peach and dark peach.

Finished Yesterday.

These photos do not do this button bracelet justice!! It is so pretty. I couldn’t get a good picture of the entire bracelet without shiny parts. Oh well. But at least I can show you how I turn an even count peyote bracelet into odd count. I add a separate row of brick stitch, decreasing the last beads, so the ends on both sides match up. It is so much easier when adding the clasp. Less time trying to perfectly align the ends.

Stuff Working On.

More bezzeling. Around a watchface. Now I need something to attach it to.

Around a cabochon. I really like this one. Here’s the front and back. When I got to the end of the instructions, I kept on beading. Several more rows.

Somehow I am going to add it to this.
