Spring! Hurry up!

This was so fun to make.

 Started with a length of ribbon a little longer than the circumference of my wrist.

This is an embroidered ribbon, looks like it was made on an embroidery type sewing machine, inexpensive, a little over a dollar for a roll. You can buy the whole thing with no need to  have it measured.

I used seed beads in a mix of greens, and pinks mostly size 11s,  Then i added glass leaves and blossoms in pink and green as well. A loop on one end will fit over one of three blossoms on the opposite end  giving you a closure to fit three sizes. A couple of hours on three evenings and it was done.

I love spring and have been celebrating it's inevitable entry into this year since, well, last year, solstice!!

Wrist Critter

This is a flirty little bracelet that reminds me of a friendly pet you wear around your wrist. A caterpillar or "woolly worm" perhaps.

"Good Night"

Classy little bracelet of glittering black seed beads with delicate pearl bead border.
One of several different styles I've been playing with.

Bracelet Hibiscus

Darla named the previous bracelet. I admit I didn't know what a hibiscus looked like and had to go to Google images to find out. They are lovely and come in a myriad of colors from brilliant to pastel, so actually describe the bracelet very accurately.

Out my dining room window I have some very tall columbine. They came in a wildflower packet I planted last year but seem much larger and more brilliant than the ones I've see in the wild. I had to get Bill's talents going to create a series of three mini-fence-trellis things to support them.

I'm so glad he likes that kind of chore.

you-name-it

Yellow, aqua, blue, magenta and light green, goes with most summer outfits. A really fun bracelet that made itself. (Along with a handful more.) Addictive little guys just keep on coming. Come back often and I'll try to get good pictures up more often.

Not that I am not happy to be getting big therapeutic doses of gardening. And yes, I need them.

Grounding. That's what garden-therapy does for me. In more ways than one.

Wish I could wear gloves. I mean. I do, for some jobs, but not weeding, nor planting, have to have that connection for it all to flow properly!

I know you get it!! Right?

Citrus Fizz

lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, mmm, a tangy tasty really fun bracelet.
I'm started on these and I can't quit. what I must do though, is slow down and take some pictures as these scans aren't really showing how cool this is.

The second bracelet looks very different due to the choice of colors, It looks to me like a tropical breeze in the jungle at the edge of the beach.

fire walker bracelet

This bracelet was created by doodling with beads. In recent evenings I've created three using a similar methods but with very different colors.
