More pictures and projects

I taught myself how to make wrapped loops today. These are useful when making earrings or pendents for necklaces, both of which I made today. I used diamond shaped blue glass beads to make the earrings and the pendent for the necklace. I then strung the necklace with blue faceted beads, clear faceted beads, and small clear beads. Here is the finished project.Close up of the earrings.
I have some more blue beads. I am trying to figure out what I want to make with them. I have some blue potato pearl beads and some blue stone beads. We'll see what happens with them.

Pictures, Pictures, Oh my!

Well, after procrastinating for so long, I finally put the pictures of all of my work on my computer. I was worried that if I tried to do this I would inadvertently delete every picture and then I would have to start all over. Luckily, this was not the case, so I have a wealth of pictures to post. I may go back and post pictures with earlier posts, but for right now I will just get all of them on here.

Photo 1: My supplies. Photo 2: My first finished project. Purple glass beads on memory wire. (I have since given this one to my sister-in-law)

Photo 3: My second memory wire bracelet made with matte purple glass beads.

Photo 4: Clear and purple glass beads. This was my first time using crimping tubes. I had originally intended to make a bracelet like one in my book, but I couldn't find the beads I wanted.

Photo 5: My first necklace. I made this for my sister-in-law for her birthday. It is two different kinds of brown shell beads.

Photo 6: My birthday gift to myself. These are garnet and opal beads. I made two necklaces with opposite patterns. I have worn them together and separately.
I got some new beads for Valentines day, so I think I will work on a matching set of a necklace and earrings. I will post more pictures soon.
