Snow day activities

Here in Austin, we had bad weather resulting in snow and black ice so just about everything shut down...(check out Maxie exploring the snow)...of course it was my day off, so I didn't really gain anything...anyway, even though I didn't get to meet up with my beady friends I had a productive day.

First thing I did was to finish a project I started during the Jems meeting...an Ndebele stitch bracelet sun Rullas beads...of course I like sets so I had to make some earrings to match...

Next I finished  a 3 in 1 piece...the focal being a 7 1/4" Russian Spiral piece.  This piece is connected with magnetic clasps so you can wear it as 1 long necklace, a shorter necklace,  bracelet or a double wrapped bracelet (just thought of that one)...what do you think? 

Then I got a little creative and made these cute little drop earrings...

After these I felt like working with Tila beads...grabbing my book "Great Designs for Shaped Beads" and came up with this piece...love the color and feel of the piece...and of course, I have to have matching earrings...

Thus ended my beading day!  Can't wait to see what y'all think...

 

Happy Beading!
