Bead frenzy

Lewis Carroll's immortal Alice (in Wonderland) once said "What is the use of a book if it doesn't have any pictures in it?".

I think Alice was indeed a smart girl. Also, tonight I'm lazy to type after a marathon of typing at work these past two days. So without further ado, here are some new pictures... and a rehash of one that didn't come ou right the last post.

First off... the floating necklace, tripled stranded, in pearlised powder pink and gunmetal beads.










Up next, is a woven bracelet, using glass and tube/bugle beads. I dig the icy green colour and turquoise, so here's said bracelet, tagged as Sea Foam.
You will see two alternate views, one conveniently draped across my oh-so-elegant-with-tiny-wrinkles wrist. The other over... uhhh.... my camera cover. *gulp*

Here's a bracelet with wire links. Getting wire to twist at first was a total pain, but I think I got the hang of it in the end. Called Smoke at Midnight.

Last but definitely not least, here is my SECOND original design (first being the Vampire Bat bracelet) ... a pair of earrings for my friend Hung Yee. I used fire-polished glass bicones, tiny Japanese delicas and some longish twisting looking beads, plus, of course, artful twists of my brain and wrist, buahahahaha

I was so hard pressed to find a proper name for it... it has a little bling of its own, with the sparkly brown and the glint of the bicones. As I am quite fond of Hung Yee, I also liked the colour scheme because I thought it was so her... very grounded yet with a personality that sparkles. So I was trying to call it something like Little Darling, or Cutiepatootie (which is what I call her sometimes haha). In the end, I just settled for her name... so here are the Hung Yee earrings.


p/s - Hung Yee has now dubbed herself Princess Hung Yee with a Royal Jeweller. mppphhhhhhh
