Green Shell and Coper Necklace

As I previously mentioned, I like the look of the spring green with copper.  So, I put together these shell discs in patterns using copper pins.

And here is a close-up of the centre.

And, a close-up of the copper chain.

Early Chainmaille Work

These are some of the first chainmaille pieces I made.  I bought bags of stainless steel jump rings from the local bead store.

The first is this bracelet.

 

In the close-up, you can see how it is put together in a wavy pattern.  (apologies for the fuzziness)

I also made this necklace.  It is a choker.

  

And here is a close-up of the pattern.  Basic 4 in 1.

Stacking Green Bracelets

I love wearing bracelets.  With these - I made 12 to wear together using co-ordinating green seed beads and larger accent beads.  I used a stretchy cord to thread them on.  This is the 12 of them stacked.

Some of the bracelets have larger, dangling, beads on them.  Some of them just have two larger green beads on the cord.

All 12 laid out side by side.

And a close-up of some of the accent parts.

Green Glass and Copper Set

I found these great beads that catch the light in a beautiful bright spring green.  I thought they looked really good with copper chain.

I made a necklace and earrings.  I am not totally happy with the earrings, as they tend to twist a lot and get caught in my hair.  But, they do look good together.

The earring bases were purchased, but I made the copper chain.  It is made of 3-ring mobius.

 

 And a close-up of the beads.

Multi-Coloured Jasper - Round Beads

I adore the multi-coloured look of this jasper, and wanted a simple, knotted strand of 10mm beads.

The earrings in this shot were made to go with my previous multi-coloured jasper set, but also work with this necklace.

And, here is a close-up of the beautiful stone beads.

Blue and Black Lariat

This is my second lariat - using the same pattern as the green lariat posted previously.  The beads are mainly black, with some dark blue, silver and clear glass.

This is a close-up of the ends, showing the larger black glass beads.

This is a close-up of the disk.  It is navy, almost slate-ish blue with some silver flecks in it.
