My latest adventure

I finally found the time to attempt this bracelet.
I made 3-strands of 4 row chain maille then braided it to make this bracelet.
I chose this clasp, but now that I've tried it on I'm not sure whether to wear it with the clasp showing or not.
Either way I now have 2 different ways to wear this bracelet.


It still needs a little work. I've discovered a little more to tinker with each day.

Bead Hank sale

I have a few photos on my facebook fan page of hanks of beads I'm regrettable needing to sell off.
Each hank had an original design in mind, but I never seem to  find the time to do.

Getting chained

What better way to wear an ear cuff than wearing one chained to a post earring?

This is a unique and detailed piece of ear finery.


I started with a 3-banded Sterling Silver ear cuff, created a fine Byzantine chain in Argentium silver, and finished the piece off with an Argentium ball/post earring.
 
Total cost is $43.00 for my favorite ear cuff to date.

Ernst: Training dogs to hunt, or just watching them kill? | HeraldTribune.com

This is a link to an article in our Sunday Newspaper.
I read it and am thoroughly disgusted that my state would allow such a
disgusting and degrading act to happen.

If you are as disgusted with these fox/coyote pens as me, please click the link at the bottom of the article and let the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (yeah right) Commission know..

and the winner is...

Wow! I just realized that today is February 3rd and the winner was supposed to be announced on the 1st.
Days go by so fast I seem to forget where they went!
The winner of the pendant name is Deana Turner with her submission of "Dragon Tears".
So Deana, I now need your address-wherever your family is at the time so I can send you a pendant.

Also as a huge thank you to Adrienne I am also sending you a pendant because you submitted a beautiful name, and I hope to use it for a Labradorite wrapped pendant I've recently finished.

So, would both of you please email me the color you would like as well as address. You both know my private email, so if you prefer you can use this one.

My thanks and appreciation to all who submitted names for my little pendants. 

Keep an eye out for another contest coming soon!

Have a creative day everyone :0)
