My moment of Truth

I have been nervous for this day for some time now. My very first blog hop.... What if I don't use the right beads? What if I don't have everything I need to complete my vision? What if what I create sucks? I guess maybe questions all newbies ask themselves. One thing I did know is I needed to get my thinking out of the neg and just jump in and start. I knew I wanted to take the necklaces and turn them into bracelets. (my fav piece of jewelry) I also wanted to do a stackable bracelet, but was not sure what type. So here is what I came up with:

I did one bracelet with the memory wire, I used some seed beads I had as well as some butterfly beads. The larger

seed beads are from one of the necklaces & then used the tiger eye & button from the other necklace.

The other bracelet I used the pretty much both of the same seed beads, but used the larger tiger eye beads I had with the smaller ones from the necklace.

Finally I also made some earrings from the glass beads that were on the one necklace.

I had so many beads left over that I wanted to do one more piece, but with the two birthdays of my grandsons Marik and Joshua, I just couldn't swing it this time. I really enjoyed doing my first blog hop. I hope that when my second one comes around (in a couple of weeks) that my work has progressed. You guys are watching me from the very beginning.. lol
