2 Bracelets - some sort of sea theme

Some resin beads inspired me to some kind of sea theme in these two bracelets. Or at least that is what I myself come to think of.

In the first one those very large oval flat ones make me think of the kind of large grass that often grows right on the edge of water and land. I haven't managed to find out what it is called in English. But in Swedish it is called "vass".

Art Beads:
Turquoise and yellow ceramic porcelain barrel bead - Round Rabbit
Green irregular oval ceramic bead - Gaea
Turquoise flower ceramic bead - xxxx (the name has just slipped me as I write this, let me get back to you very soon)

Other ingredients:
Very large transparent with pale yellow grass like strands inside resin beads
Transparent with gold round melon resin bead
15/0 seed beads
6/0 seed beads
Brass findings
Beading wire, 49 strand super flexible
Brass magnetic ball clasp


In the this one the round shells filled with orange resin makes me think of something you could find on the sea floor. And the rustic chain could belong to an old ships anchor.

Art Beads:
Pale blue facetted polymer clay bead - Something To Do With Your Hands
Violet patinated rustic copper chain - MissFickleMedia

Other ingredients:
Large round shell filled with orange resin beads
Brass heishi beads
15/0 seed beads
Brasss findings
Copper findings
Large copper lobster clasp
Beading wire, 49 strand super flexible



All my best,

A few pieces

Hi,
Again it's been a while since my latest post. Here are a few jewelry pieces I've made over the last couple of months. All of them contain one or more Art Beads.

Bold bracelet with 3 large dandelion polymer clay beads by HumbleBeads, a patinated chunky chain by MissFickleMedia, and a copper toggle by myself. I really like this bracelet, so it might be a keeper. I haven't decided yet ...

Bracelet with a ceramic squarish bead made by DonnaPerlinplim, and lovely blue druzy nuggets that I got from SmittenBeads.co.uk (great shop). Transparent glass nuggets and blue waxed linen cord. Copper toggle clasp.

-------------

I recently made my first purchase from NadiaTerra in Bulgaria. Love her style with a matte shabby chic look and lots of new, fun and interesting bead shapes. Like the ones I used in these earrings for instance, they have no holes, just a groove all around. Very interesting! Earrings for hot summer's days. Looking great with tanned skin, a casual white shirt, worn jeans and brown leather sandals.

Ingredients:
Wonderful handmade terracotta clay beads with engobe patina and without holes - NadiaTerra
Irish waxed linen cord
Pewter rings
Heavily oxidized sterling silver handmade earring hooks

I have more jewelry that I haven't yet shown you here, but I hope to do so within shortly. So come back again soon.

Please, if you are interested in any of the pieces I have shown you in this post you are very welcome to contact me:

Some chunkier pieces

Most of the time I find it difficult to take photos of necklaces. I feel the pictures often don't manage to capture how great the actual piece looks in reality. This is exactly the case with the two necklaces I show here today. I am super pleased with them both, they look so good. But I am not happy with the photos … 

Anyway, I hope what I show you here will give you at least an idea.
