Recycled glass bracelet

These are bracelets I made with the recycled glass beads. I love how "artsy" and bold they turned out. If you want an original looking, chunky bracelet, this is it. :)

Recycled glass beads

I have been experimenting with shards of throw-away stained glass. Kind of a rough look, but I like them so far. :)










Trinkets

Just a few things for some of my girlfriends. :) Merry Christmas!

Winter boutique 2008

I finally got around to putting some photos on our computer. They are terrible pictures, but I do not have a photo program to mess around with yet. (new computer, it just has basics on it) I will redo these photos later. For now, this is what I have. :) My blog is undergoing a little makeover, slowly. If any of you have some suggestions for a good photo/image software program, please let me know!

Here are some of the soldered jewelry I have made. Mostly pendants. As you scroll through the photos, if you see anything orange/blue/white, those are for the local high school. Most of the necklaces I made, and a number of the bookmarks, are related to the local high school. (Go Bengals!)
I can made them with any kind of image, paper, lettering, etc. I mix the glass pendants with art glass pieces, wire, and beads. (some are my own lampwork beads)


I started making "mini" bookmarks this year. I sell them for $6 - $7.


The large bookmarks still run between $12 - $16. That depends on the cost of the beads.


The next few pictures are difficult to see. I am still learning how to use my new camera. (also, I really need a good photo editing program)



My little display. It is a bit crowded in this picture. Later, after I left, they found a larger table so my little creations had some room to breath. :)
Since this boutique, I have made more bookmarks, beads, and necklaces. I am doing an order for the highschool cheerleading team, and I will post that as soon as I'm done. That is going to be a fun project, I hope the girls like them. More to come!!!
