another peacock bracelet, latest Blogging for Beads stash

Here is my new listing for today.


It's kind of the cousin of my first feathered fringe cuff. I have the fringe beads for a blue one as well (which will be larger like the first one), although I haven't started working on it yet.

I received my newest stash from the Blogging for Beads program yesterday. (Also, for the record, I did take advantage of the 20% off glass beads sale at Art Beads. Hopefully that order will be here tomorrow or Saturday.) They're all from the Swarovski Crystal Beads section of Art Beads. Here's a picture of my goodies.
I have a couple ideas for some of the pieces already. As always, I'm also open to suggestions! :)

treasury feature, feathered fringe

I feel very fortunate to have my ocean stained glass peyote cuff included in this gorgeous collection of bead work in springbeads' Beautiful Bead Works treasury.

I just listed this bracelet today. I have fulfilled most of my fringe obsession by making my leafy creations, but I wanted to try something a little different with this bracelet. My husband says that it reminds him of a peacock. :) This bracelet also fulfills my new love for the red and purple color combination that I referred to earlier this month.


I bought some similar beads in similar colors that are a little smaller so I can make a more delicate version. I haven't decided if I want to use smaller beads for the base or just make it more narrow.
