    What I've been making lately

    A couple weeks ago I decided to do like Mikki and pull out a bunch of UFO's and other things that needed re-working and managed to finish a few of them.  At the bazaar this past weekend everyone wanted inexpensive items which I didn't have many of, so I worked like mad to make a bunch of things.  Some sold before I could take pics, but here's a random sampling.  All the larger pics can be seen here.

    Commissioned piece for a friend:

    Necklace I started in the spring that I finished last week with help from Dagi:

    Used to be a 4-strand cuff that was too small for anyone:

    Used to be bracelets that were too long for anyone:

    Trial pendants made for a commission that didn't get used:

    Earrings Galore:

    Hope that's not too many pics!  There are a few other items in the above link as well if you want to see.  Thanks for looking.

     Thanks! The pendant is funky-cut Murano glass, and the necklace is pietersite, lava & brass.  I actually bought 2 necklaces, one black & gold and the other purple & gold and cut them apart just for those beads because they were so different.

     Wow what a great and varied set of photos! I especially love the pink, pearls, and brass stations collar. I might have to beg to use the idea for something of my own.

    Re: What I've been making lately

    Thanks Melinda and Lois!

    I started making the pink & brass necklace at the spring bazaar for something to keep me busy, and I got stuck towards the back.  I didn't have any 3 into 1 pieces, and I tried making some with wire but it didn't look good.  When Dagi was here I showed it to her and she said she had the perfect thing at home, which she promptly mailed to me, and voila!

     All very nice! Now if I could get pictures like your's I would be in heaven!

    I especially like that lampwork with the teal, orange and yellow- at least I think those are the colors.

    Never too many pics- you all inspire me so much to get crackin on stuff! Lots of eye candy.

    Thanks for sharing and share more!

     Excellent!  I'm so happy to hear that you had sales before you could photograph...not that you didn't get photos but that your product was selling like hotcakes.  Congrats!!!

    Isn't it a good feeling to take the UFOs and finish them?

    Jeni - I love all of them, particularly the Victorian style piece (the one Dagi helped you with).  Great work - let's see more!

    Re: What I've been making lately

    Thanks everyone!  I still have plenty more UFO's to work with, so hopefully I'll get some more done that I can show off before long.

    I finished my Muse piece yesterday, have another bazaar next weekend and then need to make Christmas presents, and then hopefully I can be free to create a few things I've had planned for a bit.  Oh yeah, and the challenge swap!
