My show and tell!

Okay, wanting so show off some things that I have made recently, then I



*have* to enter 30+ orders to this findings bulk buy...the deadline *was* tonight...but by the time I get the spreadsheet done, with all the orders I received today, I will have to extend it to like Wednesday!

ARGH!!!



anyways, here goes (yes, it's a bunch...the ones that I made this week...very little commentary, though...sorry):

(3 and 4 SCREAMED till I made them. All I wanted to do was take a bath...now I want MORE!!! both of them took 1/2 hour, including scanning!)

(a bead out of Tink's grab bag of a deal!!! "forced" myself to use it, and I *love* the results...note the toggle...I *WANT* more! Next Bali order...)

this design got inspired by a totally different one on eBay. As I gathered up the materials for it, Kate Childer's lampwork bead jumped into the middle of it. I have had it for about 6 months or so, and it finally found it's place. Now, I am debating on adding the heart part of the toggle from Tink's bracelet as a "charm" to this bracelet...



do you all want to see the necklaces???

yikes, I changed my "normal" numbering...here's the corrected version:

I *love* what you did with the subtle floral of mine... But I really REALLY love #4. Wowwwwww!

Aaaaaah!!! Beautiful, beautiful and great components. And not only do you turn out lovely pieces always, you are so FAST! I'd still be working on bracelet #1 while you would be on #8.

And HECK YEAH, I want to see the necklaces!

I love the Tink bracelet and the toggle. Is it for sale?

Beautiful work Mary! I don't know which ones I like best!

None of those links worked for me.

Cheri - disappointed

ooh Mary, I like those!!!! Nice work

Mary,

Does this imply you are still taking orders?

I was kicking myself a few weeks ago when I noticed your message about the order several days after the deadline.

BTW I like your bracelets, especially the first and second ones with the double strands. Those don't flip over, huh? :)

thanks

yep. Don't ask me how much yet...haven't priced it out. Someone asked me on the last 4, and I said off the top of my head $40 each...it would probably be a little less, $35, but I haven't priced it out yet...and with packing/mailing the Bali buy, plus getting ready to put in the findings buy...:-)

If you are interested, lmk, and I will price it out...

Mary p.s. I have a 6 inch wrist, and it's *way* big on me...I am going to guess that it would be a loose 7" wrist, with perhaps a 7 1/2" wrist? it is

*almost* 8 inches without the toggle parts (from crimp to crimp)...of course, I can take it down a little...

I think they don't flip, because they are so close together, there isn't room. I need to work on the toggles a bit, because one does twist at the ends (the pearl/peridot one), and the other, I put a split ring before the toggle, and it's turned 1/4 turn but the crimp is so tight on the split ring, I can't take the toggle off to add another split ring to it.

Very impressive, Mary!! I just love double strands.

Thank you very much!!! :-) and I am getting more of Tinks beads!!!

Mary

and she gets shinies...I think we both get the better end!

I do have a passion for all things sparkly, eh? Well, I think Mary is finding out I actually have fairly narrow taste. Clean. Simple. Plain.

I am in the process of taking pictures this afternoon. I'm getting better, but I still have SO much more to learn!

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "Tink" :

]I do have a passion for all things sparkly, eh?

"oooooh . . . a SPARKly! you have a SPARKly?"
