Been Dangling

I have a bunch of left over beads from last year's Challenge Swap (Spring: Yellow & Purple) organized by Jeni so I kept myself busy with them recently. And what better way to use odds & ends beads other than danglers? Can you tell I had fun making these? I have more than what shown here... most probably, pairs will be finished as earrings while singles will be a part of pendant clusters.And here are some of the beaded beads I made a while back - I have more of them to be posted on Monday, along with some wrap-around bracelets I made few days back. I made a few doubles as earrings but I think the ones below will end up as pendants.

I mailed my ring for Vicki yesterday [for the ring swap I organized at BD] so I hope it will get to her soonest. Enjoy beading all!

Copper Cuffs And Bracelets

I'm back to wireworking craze again! Thanks again Christina for the fabulous books. I'm hoping that my wire weaving improves coz I do really enjoy working with wire as much as I enjoy beadweaving.

Here's my first attempt of making this kind of cuff.

This second attempt is for MIL - I like this way better than the first one. LOL I'm sure she'll gonna like it coz I showed my recent wirework pieces to her and she's into this piece right away.Another first attempt... in coiling!

And lastly, a step-up in coling. I did most of the coiling while watching TV, otherwise I'll get really bored! LOL It's far from perfect but I love the end result - with magnetic hematite & carnelian. What are you doing lately? Whatever it is, I hope you're having fun!
