Hollows, Rings and Hotdogs!!!
August 20, 2010
I've put together a smattering of goodies for ya'll, that I think you will enjoy...I've been stringing beads, making earrings and making more hollows...
I also chose colors that I don't often work in, since I know lots of ya'll like the 'water' colors, and I figured I'd save my Fall palette for a little later...It is still summer after all...

Aquarius bracelet
For those of you who love the water colors of blues, greens and purples...I built this bracelet the other day, with some beads that might be familiar to you, and some new little additons...
there are three hollow beads, shown in close up below...They are very small hollows and fit with the other beads, adding sparkle...
there is a large hole bead up front/ with twisty latticino all around it, and it slides back and forth on the round silver beads. I love movement in my bracelets, that's why I've included that bead, and the Singraja silver tassel.
It fits my 7 1/4" wrist, but would work for a 7" or even a 7 1/2". If you need it resized, just lemme know...No problem!
$147

Lovely Lavender Hollows and Raku Ring earrings (geez)
I've found some earrings that work with the Aquarius bracelet.
This set has small lavender hollows along with two Raku encased rings. All sterling silver wire findings, all handmade by me.
$50

Lovely Lime Hollows
I love this color, I'm not sure when I will tire of it, but so far, I am still making beads in it, still buying yarn, purses, shoes and shirts in it. Tasty and delicious...
These hollow beads are on the large size, and the earwires are 18g instead of 20g, to help compensate for their size. However, if you prefer a 20g earwire, just let me know and I'll change them out.
I cannot tell you HOW MANY folks touched the beads (but no one tried on the earrings, I swear). Everyone seemed to love them, but were so overwhelmed with the show, they never bought them. Their loss...
$45

Nickel and Dimes Bracelet
I love the texture of this bracelet, and the prett pale aqua and cranberry colors. The diamond shaped beads are sparkly in the sun, the refraction from the shape of the bead, and being encased in crystal make them sparkly...
I used only a couple of matching crystals, otherwise this woulda been a 9" bracelet and fit your ankle...
Fits a 7 1/4" wrist, but can be resized, no problem..
$75

Three Raku Ring Earrings
I love the look of 'raku' glass - it does its own thing, the colors that come out are always a mystery and I enjoy the woodsy feel of them.
These earrings are very lightweight and they have a nice subtle jingle to them.
All findings are sterling and handmade by me

Raku Earrings with Raku Blue rings
The round beads are actually encased raku that becomes a pretty watercolor Monet scape....and the bottom rings are built with an aqua base ring with raku overtop it, and then encased in clear. Crazy, huh!
All findings are sterling and handmade by me
$48

Raku Hollows with Green Raku rings
Hey cool - when you make hollows out of raku glass, you get this weird, planet-looking bead. I think these look like Jupiter landscape beads. The rings are lime green with raku encased on top...
all findings are sterling and handmade by me.

"Have a Hotdog!" earrings
Hungry? Yes, I'm ready for lunch!
I like these earrings and I like these condiments on my hotdogs (not all at one time)...Well, I don't like ketchup, I shoulda put chili, but I figured maybe you liked ketchup, so I went there instead...I do like the ketchup earrings, tho...I'd wear those...
All earrings are $35 a pair
