A while back, someone asked me to post pics of my jewelry when I got the chance

Well, I finally figured out how to take pictures with the digital camera, then make the photos suitable for internet posting. So here are a couple pics so far of the jewelry I make. Still new at it, so it's a bit simplistic I guess. But there you have it.



This is a unakite set I made. I love the colors of this stone. The pendant I did NOT make. I bought it because it went with the earrings and bracelet perfectly.



Here is a bracelet I made using art deco spacer beads and lime iridescent glass beads.

If y'all like them, I'll post more, as soon as I get more pics edited, that is.

I have several bead bracelets and earrings, and I love them.

You have a very nice talent. Hope you do post more pictures of your work.

Yes, please post more pics! :applause:

I so admire people who have the ability to make beautiful things. I hope you'll show us more.

Nice pictures, and lovely jewelry!

More please...

I would love to see more.

Some have called this my "Christmas" jewelry, but I just like the way the red stone chips go with the red specks in the lime beads.



Here I was trying to match the purple and gold prairie flowers on the side of the road this fall here in Wisconsin, but some have called this my "Minnesota Vikings" jewelry.



I just thought this combination of jet and gold glass faceted beads looked classy together.



This is made of snowflake obsidion stone chips. I wish it was a clearer picture. The chips were, as the clerk at the bead store, obscenely cheap, but very attractive.

I've experimented with different stringing material. I used to just love fishing line and clamshell knot cups, but lately I've just been using Beadalon and crimp beads. Beadalon wire is almost as flexible as thread, and doesn't kink like fishing line.

It's still a new hobby for me. I've only been doing it since last May. It's addicting, I must say, esp. buying the beads. The hardest part is deciding what to charge when someone asks to buy a piece. Any ideas on that would be appreciated. I didn't keep track of how much some of the supplies cost, because it didn't occure to me at first that I might sell anything. But as people hear I'm a beader, they'll sometimes ask for specific pieces, or for me to repair something, or sometimes they want to buy something I've made. Still surprises me.

I'll keep posting as I make more. If I can get Photobucket to cooperate, that is. For some reason it doesn't like uploading from my little Mac.

because I posted kinda late last night.

I love the first set best. I could see wanting to just wear those colors almost every day, right along with putting on my watch. For sales, you consider the cost of supplies, plus your time, and plus or minus from that according to how well you like the work. (Scientific, isn't it?)
