More Leather Wraps

I have so many small beads that I have decided to make use of them before buying more beads. Here is another leather wrap bracelet I made. Starting of it to the finished product.

Here is the finished bracelet:

Wire Bangle Bracelet

These wire bangle bracelets are so popular. I finally had time to sit and make some of these bracelets. My first bracelet I made are with shell beads.

The second bracelet I made with pineapple beads.

Here are both bracelets together

Leather Wrap Bracelets

I finally had some time to sit, and share the items I have made. It's been awhile since I made these. The leather I use is between 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter. I measure out approximately 90 inches and fold it in half. I will have a few pictures of how it looks. The start of the Sea Foam Leather Wrap:

After making the Sea Foam leather wrap, I made two more. Here is the start of the Ocean Blue Leather Wrap:

They are so much fun to make.

Boleyn Earrings - Renaissance

Boleyn Earrings - Earrings Fit for a Queen - Renaissance Costume Jewelry

Here are the matching earrings to the necklace I made. The earrings on the series "The Tudors" are totally different. They had pearl dangles. I chose to do the earrings different.

Boleyn Necklace - Fit for a Queen- Renaissance

The Boleyn Necklace is what I call it - Inspiration from the series "The Tudors".

Fit for a Queen is what I say.

This is what I came up with at first but it did not make an impact on me, and I wanted to put my own personality into the design. In the photo below I am using faux pearls and metal base findings. It took me a few days to find what I needed in my stash of goodies that I have had for many years.


I had to find the right beads to go with the bead caps that I had - opening and closing drawer compartments and shaking my head. Finally I remembered that I had some beads in a different area that would compliment what I wanted.





I have had these beads in my stash for so long I shined them up and they are good to go! I made a wire wrap so that I could hang a chain "tassel" look.


I will be making a few more items that might represent Renaissance jewelry. I will be listing this in my Etsy store in the near future, so be sure to check my facebook page you will find my online link there.

Spring Solaris Jewelry Collection

Here is what is new for Spring from Enchanted Pathways-Solaris Jewelry Collection.


Our Solaris Jewelry Collection consist of metal base findings such as, silver plated, gold plated, gun metal, brass, copper materials, glass beads, and/or semi-precious gem-stones. Items will be listed with what materials are used in the piece that is up for auction.

I have the same care in making my Solaris Collection as I do when making my high end pieces. =)

Necklace work in progress. Square chain - metal base finding with faux pearls


Here is a piece I was working on for our Spring Solaris Collection.
Here are two necklaces I made with extra chain I had in two different sizes. I am trying to use up my stash before acquiring new stuff.


Finished pieces. Making or stringing the items are not what takes so long - It is the designing of a piece. My pieces usually are by accident. I finally came up with this design, only to have taken it apart about 5 times before finally coming up with this since I didn't have enough materials to work with. I don't like to waste, so I make do with what I have.


More to come in the near future for my Renaissance Collection for those who go to Renaissance Fares.

Air Plant - Bling it up!!!!

I love these cute plants they call "Air Plants"?

I wanted to decorate my own air plant. However, I didn't like that I had to poke a wire through it. I cut a piece of wire - wire wrapped it to a closed jump ring. I took the wire and poked a hole through the air plant. I left enough room so I could had some more beads and a heart charm at the bottom of the plant. Now that it is done it hangs from a chain from my plants on my porch.
I sparkles a lot by the plants, there is no sparkle here :/




A closer look at the bottom =)
