Well I finished one of my Cellini Spiral bracelets. I must say that I was really proud of myself. The bracelet isn't that complicated but it is time consuming. Late nights have a way of getting things done though. I guess my insomnia came in handy even though I wish it were different. The colors are perfect and coincide with spring finally making its arrival.
I am planning on finishing a few more one with pink and purple as the base colors. Can't wait to see what that will look like when I am finished with it.
Crafting is what I love to do. I bead, tat, create mixed media art and cards. Sharing my love of crafting is what this blog page is all about. Welcome to my little world

New Project!!
I recently learned how to do the Cellini Spiral. I wanted to learn how to do something different. This particular stitch has its challenges but I am liking how things are turning out. I tried it with different types and sizes of beads.
I wish I could say I was good at creating tutorials like other individuals but me I am just good at perfecting my technique. Here are a few pictures:

These were my started pieces. The mixed green, yellow and orange have rocailles, delicas, hex cut and seed beads. I may have to take that one apart due not having enough of the orange bead.
Now this one is almost complete. It is smaller than the usual Cellini Spiral but I like its elegance.
I also had the pleasure of working on one other piece. Jill Wiseman's Festival of Lights bracelet. That was a fun piece to work on. I want to make another one as an anklet for the summer. I think that would be cute with a nice pair of scandals.

Previous Projects
I have a few pairs of earrings that I made a while back that I thought turned out pretty well. I want to try and do some changes to the patterns but I am not quite sure how to make it work just yet. I know that I will be able to work it out one day because I am determined enough.
I made a pair of Russian Leaf earrings and added my own little touch to them and I also made a pair of triangle earrings. I used delicas on both pairs. I like delicas because of the interlocking when doing peyote stitch.
We will see what else I can come up with soon.
