Lavendar Skies - the winning design by Janet Thompson and me! New items in my Etsy store:

5/8/2008: I created a couple of bracelets for a wedding challenge.  You can read more about it on my blog.  The bridesmaids are wearing black with teal flowers so I chose those colors for their bracelet.  For the bride I used whites, crystal and teal.  For both I created woven tubes of seed beads.  I finally took  a class to learn how to make these and just LOVE making them!  Tune in on May 9 to see who won the Wedding Challenge! 4/24/2008: I joined forces with Jan Thompson of JanZart to create a challenge piece for charity.  She created the beautiful lampwork beads and I designed the bracelet - Lavendar Skies.  There were over 20 entries created for this charity challenge and people voted for their favorite.  Our design won!  You can read more about it at the Creative Minds for Charity blog. 4/22/2008: Purple and turquoise seem to have drawn me lately.  I finally learned how to do one type of beadweaving and created a fun spiral bead tube in the Purple Twist bracelet.  And I love the fun colors in Sassy Lass. 4/10/2008: My latest addition to my shop is a ladybug bracelet!  The ladybugs are all handmade beads and each has its own flower to hang out with.   Some of my designs are only available here on my website and this is where you can also see/buy pieces that are for sale in a La Jolla boutique store - Gili Anna. I hope you enjoy these beautiful handcrafted pieces as much as I enjoy making them! www.flickr.com This is a Flickr badge showing photos in a set called bracelets/watches. Make your own badge here.
