Colorful Bracelet for . . . ?

Normally I like bracelets to have a single color, but today I made a multi-color bracelet with peach irregular shaped pearls, "watermelon"-colored tourmaline (pink, peach, pea green, dark green closer to black), and labradorite (blue flash which appears gray here).  Mainly I wanted to use up beads I already had around.  The clasps are not attached yet, because I need to buy some. . . .

Graduation 2010

Geldim ve çalıştım. Beyin bedava. Ben her gün taşımak....Strangely enough, while moving out, after E put my head + the cap in a small cooking pot next to our dumpster, somebody took the whole ensemble!  It was around sunset, and from a distance the head looked scary.

New Bracelet Partially Done

At my first beads show a week ago, a string of labradorite beads caught my attention, as I have misplaced last summer's beloved sterling silver bracelet with labradorite cabochons purchased from a pushy merchant at a jewelry store in the outskirts of the Taj Mahal.  It had lost one of its stones however, so I stopped wearing it as often.  Below is a picture of its currently unfinished replacement.  The labradorite beads contrasts nicely against the gold.

Refrigerator Magnets

Froggie

Last week I sewed this frog, but I haven't stuffed it yet.

My First Hair Flower

For my friend's bachelorette party, I made a hair pin with a cream gardenia hair flower (from Michael's) with pale amethyst, fire-polished beads wired at the center.  Today I found an old picture of my friend wearing the hair flower on her wedding day.  If/when I make another hair flower, I'll just sew the beads to the flower, but at that time I had no thread and used wire that was lying around.  

Love Birds

A week or so ago, I sewed these green and pink "love birds" by hand.  That was a slow and painful process, so I hope to learn how to use a sewing machine sometime soon.
