Good Grapes!

Before the LOS and the polish

Hi lovelies! Just wanted to share what's new from my jewelry table. Well more like jewelry mess, seems like every time I make something it ends up looking like a tornado went thru my studio. :) My latest piece is a bracelet with hand made wire wrapped links, that I patina'ed with some liver of sulphur and tumbled for an antique look. I added some beautiful amethyst roundels (they're like round beads that have been flattened just a little), and smaller "olive" jade round beads. The focal is a glass bead made by moi. The glass is by Creation is Messy, the color is Thai Purple, and the accent glass is by BellaDonna, the color is called Honey Glaze. The BellaDonna is a high silver glass, and it supposed to do some pretty cool things in the flame, but I couldn't get much out of it. I'll have to play around with it more.

Finished Piece - very happy with it.

Needed a little inspiration so I picked this magazine up from Chapters, lots of great ideas.
