With this little antique brass whale bracelet. I haven't been this tempted to keep something I've made in a long time!

And just in case you're as tempted by it as I am, it's listed here.

Custom Order Creation

I got an email last week from my husband's cousin, who I've never met, asking if I could make a multi-strand bracelet for him to give as a gift. All the information he gave me was "dragonflies" and "purple".

I worked on it this weekend and came up with this. What do you think?

New Discovery!

I never knew how much I'd love lampwork glass! I got these yesterday and made this bracelet last night and I am just in awe. I love them so much and can't wait to get more!

Working With Pearls

I've made 4 bracelets this week and quite a few pairs of earrings with some new pearls I got. What is it about pearls, I wonder? They just look and feel so special and as soon as you put them on, you feel special, too.


The hard part is deciding which color pearl is your favorite, I think. Right now I go back and forth between peacock pearls and your standard white ones. Which do you like?

These bracelets can all be seen here.
