Twist Copper Cuff with Beads
I just took a tutorial from Cindy Lietz on how to make a Copper Bangle Bracelet,
which required a different size copper wire that I did not have.
I did have a larger gauge wire though.
I found it to be a little difficult to work with, but I like how this turned out.
On the beads that I used is the extruder technic. Which you can also find in Cindy Lietz Libary. If you would like to purchase or view the intro video please visit Cindy Lietz; Dangle Bangle

Whimsical Handcrafted Beaded Bracelet
I have to say when I started this project I didn't actually know what I was getting myself into.
The challange of creating a bracelet out of a roll of wire was not easy. I started bending the wire and got it half way done then sat it down for about a month.
I would see that stupid bent wire hanging on my tool rack everyday. So, Last month or so I picked it up and could not put it down.
I hammered the the gold tone wire into a whimsical wave I then wired each spot together. after it was held together secure I added Lentil Beads, Disc Beads, Ceramic Black Beads, and Glass Seed Beads. Valah! I have a beautiful Bracelet. Some of the Beads used in this I learned through Cindy Lietz, If you would like To Purchace or View the Intro Tutorial Click here: LENTIL BEAD
Mobius Beaded Necklace
I created this one of a kind necklace using handcrafted Mobius Beads, Ceramic Black
Beads, Gold Glass Seed Beads, and a Large Brass Focal Bead.
I used silver plated wire for the chain links. It has a very posh look when wearing it.

Rose Cane Leaves
My very first rose cane. I really like how it turned out concidering I had no tutorial to follow. I used a skinner blend and translucent. I was asked if I could explian how to make the rose. I first took the skinner blend of purple and white. Made a cane. I then rolled it out and cut it into seven pieces. I flattened then out and put a slight curve down the middle so that when you looked at it it looked to be like a petal. The first one in the center, I rolled the rest I kept wrapping around each other until I got to the outer petals. I added tranparent clay snakes under the edges then wrapped it with a very thin piece of transparency clay. And that is how you make a rose cane. The leaf cane a skinner blend as well with slices of brown for the veins.
