Sue Beads

I made this bracelet for my boyfriend's son, Remington. It's his birthday and he's getting it tonight. I hope he likes it! I made it as boyish as I possibly could given I don't tend to make boy jewelry! What do you think?

Some of you may know Simone from Huismus , from the Netherlands. She made some earrings from some of my beads and I thought I'll just show you them! I really like her work. I really like the ornate headpins she's used on these earrings! She makes my beads look fantastic!!!!

I joined the Bead Soup Blog Party again, as I mentioned, Margot Potter is my partner. I received her beads today, so I thought I could show you what I sent her and what she sent me. I sent her what felt to me to be an Asian mix, reds and blacks, lampwork, enamel, and others. She sent me a teal/amber mix! When Lori said we might not get what we are used to, that's me! I never really work with these colors, so it will be a challenge, but I already have some ideas floating around in my head, so that's a really good thing! I'm excited to find the time to get started!

I picked up some cool buttons over the weekend at JoAnn's - just thought I'd show them to you!

I listed some focals today in the SueBeads etsy store - go ahead and check them out!

I just listed some new items in my SueBeads etsy store yesterday! Lots of blues again, I guess i am stuck on blue a little!

I can show you this now. My friend Cindy asked me to make her a bracelet with some beads she saw in my store. I've known Cindy since, who knows, 5th grade? I knew her personality and recently got reconnected with her on FaceBook and also a mini class reunion. She is a purple, in my mind. Do you see people in colors? Sometimes I do very clearly, and sometimes it takes me a while. But Cindy is a purple and this is the bracelet I made for her. She is thrilled with it, which thrills me! It's made with my Victoria Sparkle beads and Tanzanite AB swarovski crystal - the colors change whenever you move the bracelet, which is very cool!
