Not beads

So... I strayed from the beads once again. What can I say? They were an older passion of mine than even beads. And they are back in style! Wheee!

still alive and kicking

Yeah yeah, I have been away for too long. I'll update my blog in a while, but first, I owe someone some pictures.

So here is my newest bracelet in making, because it still could use a few more strands. ^^

So... as some of my previous bracelets, this one was made with a few "strappy-srips" invented by Gwen Fisher and probably another few nameless people in the world and some other stuff.

Without further ado, my pictures:
(And yes, I am perfectly aware i missed out on a waxing session there, I'm gonna go and make up for it once I'll feel like braving the snow and ice outside.)

Pictures of the nightmares, without flash

Yup, flash decidedly killed the colours. These are the same bracelets. Enjoy.

The improved strippy strappy nightmare

New bracelets, because I love them. Well, only one of them is new, the teal-green one is only improved. Let's just say I had fun with it and...

















I might as well have given Chewbakka to wear it for the photo. >< Sometimes I seriously doubt my appeal.

PS: the flash killed the vibrant colours. :(

I'm out of names

I have been bored lately being cooped up inside, so... I started playing around with Gwen Fisher's Strappy Strip pattern.

Here is the result. And I'm still adding strings to it.

random

A ring of random beads I found in my bead box named baroque for some strange reason.And a cellini spiral bracelet made from three different kinds of purple.All because I am cooped up inside.

It's Spring!

...or supposed to be, so I started making some pretty bracelets in spring colours, or at least spring colours for me.

Here they are:

Old Stuff #10-12

This was my first delica bracelet.
Second delica bracelet. I liked the first's pattern, so I did it again. It looks a bi like snakeskin, no? ^^
This... is a fall delica bracelet. Or at least it's supposed to be out of fall colours. I think I like how it turned out.

Old Stuff #09

A bunch of bracelets I made out of boredom and Czech beads.

Old Stuff #08

A daisy chain variation I stumbled over on the net. I slightly tweaked the design, but that's the reason the daisy chain was posted on the net so we can use our imagination.

Link is here, try it out!

Sadly, my picture doesn't do it justice. Will have to take another later on...

Old Stuff #07

A little fuzzy bracelet made with miyuki beads. I bought the button especially for this one. I got a few funny stares when I was pondering for nearly half an hour over a handful of buttons and bought only two. ^^
