Root Beer Float Bead Crochet Bangle Bracelet

I picked these beads for a nice neutral bracelet and as I was crocheting it I was reminded of a root beer float. The brown beads are shiny and translucent and the cream color beads are opaque. What do you think? Does it stir any cravings in you for a trip to the local soda shop?

Beaded Eggs

Happy Easter

While unpacking some Easter decorations I came across these eggs that I forgot I had made.

They were made based on patterns from Diane Fitzgerald's Book, "Netted Beadwork".

More Black and White

I liked the black and white bangle that I posted last week that I had to make another. Instead of a bangle this one has a sterling silver clasp. It is available for purchase in my Artistry Arts store.

Square Stitch

I am out of wire at the moment so that means no chainmaille making for now. I have been doing some bead crochet and some beadweaving. I had never tried doing square stitch. I don't know why since it isn't difficult at all. I looked through my bead stash and found some glass cube beads that I forgot I had. I also came across a great pewter button and this blue bracelet is what I came up with.

In A Crocheting Mood

It seems like I go through phases. For a while all I want to do is chainmaille and then all I want to do is beaded crochet. Right now I am in a beaded crochet mood. I have added these 2 bracelets to my shop, I'm working on another and I have an idea in my head for one more.

Custom Easter Order

Last week I was asked by Melanie to make three Bible verse bookmarks for her teenage daughers for Easter. I am pleased with the way turned out and even better, Melanie was thrilled.
