Roaring Red Leopard

Feel a little daring? Feeling a little bold?

I have used Venetian glass cube beads full of dark dramatic color. On the surface is dark ruby glass, with gold foil shining through along with subtle black dots. This metallic touch adds an elegant dimension to these vibrant beads. Coupled with Swarovski Roundelle Crystal, sterling silver beads, balis and of course my favorite sterling silver shoe charm. This piece is fun. Great accessory when you want to pump up a understated suit or outfit and give your outfit  a Wow.

7 3/4" in length. I have only used Nylon coated Stainless Steel beading wire that will hold up to 24.9 lbs. So you are assured your bracelet is durable.
 
This item is for sale on my Etsy account.

A few of the stones I am waiting to work with

I am waiting for my toggles to come in.  Everyday I go to the mailbox and peek inside to see if the mailman/woman has delivered my package from the states.   Today will be no exeption.  In the meantime I took a few photo's of some of the beads I will be working with.

My new black agate squares.  Another semi precious stone that I love to use.  They just anchor a piece down.    
 
 
 
Hurry up toggles and get in so I can start making some pretty's.

About me



Come see some of my work that is for sale while I set up my blog.
I am a little behind schedule this morning as I just got back from a run with my puppy Dilbert. I still have to have a shower and get ready for work. But I will come back and talk about my bead work and the new pieces I have created.
TTFN....
