Sorry the pictures are not that good. If you click on them, you will be able to see more detail. I was in a rush to photograph them before placing them in plastic envelopes for the boutique. I still have a lot left, so I plan on selling them on Etsy.com. Prices range from $8 - $15. They make GREAT Mother's Day gifts! If you see one you like, let me know, I might still have it for sale.
I was so inspired by the background pictures as I made these, that some of the bookmarks match too well, and blend right in to the packaging. Sorry about that. I know it makes it even harder to see the beads, but they ALL turned out lovely, (I am pleased with this round).

I did these today, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I need lots of practice, just like Pam said. :)

Jade's Funky Bag
I am new at this, it was a big step for me to branch off from my family blog, and it might be a while before I get some new work out. I thought I would post a few things I have made that have not left in gift bags. A little preface; my daughter is a unique soul, this was made at her request. She wears miss-matched socks every day to school. Her criteria is that they must be different in color, pattern, and sometimes length and material. You can see this bag suits her well. She has made two more requests for handbags, I will get to those after this season of bugs have passed over. :)
Ancient Mexican Floral Motif
I love to carve clay tiles or pottery. When clay is not available, I do my best with wood. This was my way of recycling some redwood scraps from our deck. It was a nice way to get out some tension. :)

November '07 bookmarks
I spent the day painting with black enamel paint, (as you will see on my hands), and making bookmarks for a local Boutique. These shots were quickly taken as my girlfriend gathered the bookmarks to load in her car and set up our table.
I will get better at taking pictures of my work, I'm sure.......or you will just have to use your imagination and try to think of how pretty they really look. :)
