Here are two new Ripple Bracelets:

Aztec Gold & Purple Ripple

My Newest Moss Agate Going Green Bracelet

2008-07-01T16:23:00.007-04:00

This is my newest bracelet, the colors are really lovely. It as well as many other creations are available at my Etsy shop. These Going Green Doily Earrings go really great with the bracelet.

I was in a Treasury that made the Front Page Again!

2008-06-26T22:10:00.005-04:00

Yay! I love it when this happens. My earrings are the Teal and Green Doily earrings in the center. This treasury was created by Chimaerashop . Thanks very to her for including me. I received the screen shot from my friend and fellow Vermonter, Linda .

My Midsummer's Night Dream July Challenge Bracelet

2008-06-21T12:06:00.004-04:00

This is my new Cellini Spiral Bracelet for the "Midsummer's Night Dream" July challenge. I think the colors are Dreamy. This will be in my Shop soon. The colors are mauve and copper and the clasp is magnetic. I love these colors together. They are soft and romantic.

I made the front page on Etsy!

2008-06-18T22:20:00.005-04:00

I am so excited I don't make the front page very often. This is the 2nd time that I am aware of. My friend and fellow beadweaver Carol Dean of Sandfibers created this green treasury. She creates the best treasuries. Here's a link to my Green Apple Bracelet:

Green Apple Ripple Cuff Bracelet

2008-06-08T17:46:00.007-04:00

This is the first Ripple bracelet I made. It now belongs to my friend, because in the learning/design curve it came out quite a bit smaller in length than I wanted. It crinkles up after you get most of the edges on with the peyote stitch, so it comes out shorter than you want it. I made a couple of changes between the first one one (the top photo) and the 2nd Apple green one, like: Number of herringbone rows, amount of edging, shape of size 11 beads. I think I like the first one better, what's your opinion, please, which cuff do you like better?

This is a new design. I call this one Green Apple Ripple Cuff. The base is Herringbone stitch with 2 different size beads, and the sides are a peyote starting with size 8's and then a few rows of 2 drop with 11's to make the ripple. It's pretty fun to do. I will probably make a couple more in the near future.
