As I've mentioned recently, I'm slowing down on the peyote cuffs for a while. But I still have a decent number of flower beads left so there will probably be another one of these cuffs at some point.

a new garden for spring 2011
I'm not the best about making and listing pieces in the right season, but I had to list this piece while it's still spring.
It's available here. This is the third flower embellished cuff that I've made now. The second one is still available in my shop here. This new one is more like that second one than like my first one. It would be fun to do another bright cuff like that. But I love all of the red in this new cuff, too. And I have not gotten tired of the dark green base. I would make another flower cuff just for that. The disc beads are from Art Beads mixes. I've been collecting the flowers over the past year, mostly from local bead shops. And the button clasp is another Lisa Peters creations (LisaPetersArt). She's been listing lots of new goodies lately so go check out her shop if you haven't been over there in a while.

Natural Sparkle
I listed my first (but not last) bracelet with one of Lisa Peters's ceramic buttons today!
This color combination is not typical for me, but I love the way that it turned out. It makes me want to attempt another design in neutral colors.
Besides the LPA ceramic button, there are a couple other neat components in this bracelet. The wood and stone beads were a present from my mom's mom last year. She got them from the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Elmhurst, IL. I kept most of them for myself as simply stretchy bracelets, but when I restrung them, there were a few extras (because as most of you know, I have very small wrists). Here they are! I also used some more of my swarovski components from the Art Beads blogging program. I used Twist Crystal Silver Shade, Cosmic Olivine, and Graphic Cube Crystal Copper. Yes, my swarovski/cubic zirconia stash is finally starting to dwindle!
