Many Pretties

First things first: New Bead Book: My Beads Style 10. (ISBN978-4-537-11483-6) This was a very good deal on Etsy, but the last thing I need is another series to collect. And since this one is "10" goodness only knows how many others I need. O.o

On to the pics.

This is Cross Window Ring by Sakiss. My MIL requested it, then I forgot about it (sorry!) then I made it.

An adorable little flower ring from Antique Style Beaded Jewelry. Working on those wire skills. ;) The antique brass wire is from Vintage Bead shop at left.

A ring made with a perforated band. Very cool and easy to do. I got these from Beadsupplies at Etsy.

Tile ring. I found these cool flat square beads and got the idea to make a "brick" bracelet. Then I realized I didn't have enough. :( But they made a cute ring.

My own Dragon Treasure. :) OK, it's really the Framing Ring by Sakiss, but my friend Teri calls rhinestones like these "dragon treasure," which sounds way cooler. :D

Pick Holder by Shizuya. I made this in the hope my son would like it (he plays guitar.) Unfortunately once I got it made, the picks didn't fit. Turns out it's for bass picks (which are larger.) So if anyone knows someone who plays bass . . . .

My UT bling. I got these gorgeous burnt orange CZ triangles in San Francisco when I was visiting my friend Kimberly.

Bracelet by Paolo Bottoni. I got these great beads in Hawaii. I'll never find them again. This is a great pattern isn't it?

Why do the prettiest things take the crappiest pictures? This is a necklace I made for me using the 4470s in Pacific Opal. Closer shot. This really turned out stunning. Nowhere to wear it, but that's not the point, now is it?
