New bracelets.

I had these two items that I never did anything with them, so I got this idea and threw them together. These are jump rings and tire spacers. I have an entirely new appreciate for those that do chainmaille! No way could I ever do those amazing patterns and things they do, just doing a few jump rings, bugged me!

I still need to add some clasps and then go back and try to get the gaps out of the jump rings. I do like the last one, reminds me of Lifesavers!

Sneak Preview - New Paper Beads for 2009

This is another new design I've been working on. Hourglass shaped beads with moving parts. I used a jump ring around the center of the bead and love how they worked out.

I used antique copper again, matched the jump ring to the bead caps and used a topaz glass cube. What do you think?
