Now for something completely different

During this pandemic I have not been making many new things. I've had ideas and even have the beginning of a new collection (I'll start sharing soon). However, because I subscribe to many other jewelry designers/suppliers newsletters I see many new ideas. One recently caught my eye. Very look different for me. The materials are suede and leather. I've used leather before and most all I made sold. So, it really isn't something completely different. The technique is different. It is also quite simple. (Only backed up twice :-)
Here is the start. It is called "Gaelic Circles Leather". I'm calling my version "Celtic Circles" because it is easier for me to remember and spell. There is an instruction video on YouTube and kits are available in many color versions. I chose a light green suede, light brown leather and copper rings.
Progress. Center section and one side finished. I'm liking this. Now on the the other side.
Here both ends are braided. Now, to gather the findings and finish the bracelet.
Here is the finished bracelet
One more view of the finished bracelet being worn. It is very comfortable.What do you think of it? I hope you are staying well and healthy. Until next week, Bev

Summer Beach
Despite the lower than normal temperatures, it is June and it is bound to get warmer soon. That said, I'm loving this type of weather as I'm not a big fan of the three H summer weather (That is hot, humid and hazy by the way:-)
 
Looking through my stash, I found a small kit of seed beads that was labeled "Summer Beach" kit. I got it several years ago when I attended a Kumihimo Meet Up on Cape Cod. Thanks to Sally Battis for the kit. Too much else going on at the time but, finally, I finished it and here it is.
 
I decided to play around with some props while taking pictures. Good choice was this shell. I know the color combination was not good but it was just for fun. I guess they would all blend in with the sand.

While I was at it, I tried a different view. Too much time on my hands? It is listed on my website here.
 
I have also been working on a new necklace named "Day Lilly".  I'll show you next time. I do expect it to be finished soon.

Bermuda Blue

Bermuda Blue
 
One of the most popular pendants I offer is the "Eternity" Cosmic pendant with silver rings. I'm on a mission this week to determine just what is it that makes this pendant so popular. Is it the color "Bermuda Blue"? Is it the shape of the Cosmic Ring - round and shimmery? Is it the addition of the three Argentium Sterling Silver Rings around the Bermuda Blue ring and/or the three intertwined rings? Something else?


In some ways, it doesn't matter why, but it would help me to plan new pieces if I had a clue. I already make some matching earrings. 





 
If the attraction is the color, Bermuda Blue, I've used some other shapes such as the triangle. Both pendant and earrings.
 

And most recently, the Bermuda Blue Greek Cross pendant.

 

So, help me with my mission. Is it the color, shape, the addition of Silver? Is there another design you'd like to see?

As usual, I'd like to hear your comments. Send me an email.

PS remember Mother's Day is coming soon.

 
Until next week,

Bev
