Spring Charm
Inbetween orders I love to take a break and brush up on my jewelry making while having fun, and incorporating little wire wrapping that you can't see because of the charms.
This use to be a watch-charm bracelet that I converted into a charm bracelet (I had bought this from a friend/artist some years back). The watch face broke, along with part of the bump from the lampwork bead - lost some charms. I salvaged what charms I could to convert it into this bracelet. The lampwork beads were made by an Ebay seller at the time.
I rummaged through some Bali sterling silver beads to add a focal piece, and re-attached some charms onto the bracelet to make it look like it once did the best I could. This is what I came up with.
Voila!!!

Midnight Melody Bracelet
Hello Everyone! I know it has been some time since I have posted anything. Let me catch you up on a few things that have been going on so you know why.
I have taken a job at a wonderful retail store called, The Bead Place. I work with a group of wonderful women! I have slowed down selling on Ebay, since I have been working full time, but have request orders from my regulars. Once I have my ducks in a row, I will be back on ebay full swing.
I wanted to share what I made for my, "Other Mother" (my mother-in-law). I made this bracelet for her birthday. I call it the, "Midnight Melody". She saw some beautiful Swarovski crystals in the colors of Griege and Metallic Gold AB X2.
The materials I used:
6mm & 4mm Griege and the 6mm & 4mm Metallic Gold AB X2.
Brownish bugle beads and size 11 silver seed beads
