SALE!

I have things on Etsy that are going to expire in 2 DAYS!! I've decided to not relist them, but just put them all at HALF PRICE. Am hoping someone will catch this deal. Well, I'm tired of looking at them, but those prices are pitiful and would be worth keeping them and actually bead something with them. Problem is...I don't have time! Hope YOU do....

Roses are red and corals are too....

I had this "What IF" moment. What if I made something RED! Red is such an unusual colour selection for me because I just can't see 'red'. Blue, green and purple are my most often used colours. People have been asking me to bead them something red, but then there aren't very many red stones out there. I have some Apple Coral which is dyed. I'm usually in search of natural stones, but most these days are colour-enhanced aka dyed. So, I chose Coral and red jade. The Coral is sponge coral and as far as I know. The red jade is dyed. I used 5 strands interwoven. Even the camera pics up red from the shadow the items cast. Whatcha think? Does red work for you?

Pearls of wisdom

...wherever the saying came from, not sure, but wearing pearls is just as nice. The 5 strand braided cuff bracelet is extremely comfortable with its magnetic clasp. The necklace is adjustable....
Can't decide whether to list on etsy or to take to the local gallery...On etsy you'll be sure to get it for much cheaper...
