Luscious Caramel, Golden Tan and deep Chocolate Bead on Crisp White Background and chocolate beads spiraling around a white core

I’ve become enamored with the spiral beading technique. As you can see above, you have a core of beads, in this case white, with a different color spiraling around it. I’m not sure why I came to delve into this technique. But I can’t seem to stop.
The bracelet above I made with chocolate-colored beads spiraling around a white core. I put silver findings including a lobster clasp on this bracelet.
If you had an obsession with something, please let me know how you got over it. There really are other things I would like to do.
Thank you

This colorful pendant is a ‘best seller’. The colorsare perfect for a Summer day.
The pendant is made using a fused glass technique and glass colors of white, yellow, blue and turquoise. I did a simple wire wrap using non-tarnish copper wire and multiple curlicues at the time. The bail is large, will fit on most chains including omega chains.
I made the fused glass pendant using a technique called a ‘puddle’. I stacked 7 layers of 3mm glass on each other and fused them together. As it fused and spread out, it became a solid piece of glass that looked like a puddle. Once it cooled, I “wacked’ it hard with a hammer, splitting it into many pieces. I then laid the pieces on their side and fused them again to melt the pieces into cabochon shapes. No two are alike.
The wire wrap is a tarnish-resistant copper wire. It has a nylon coating preventing air from tarnishing the wire.
It is also somewhat hyperallergic because of the nylon coating. It definitely won’t tarnish around your skin.
Should the pendant get dirty, just massage it with a drop of blue Dawn, rinse it off and let it air dry or hand dry it. It will be like new.

I’ve finally returned to making jewelry. I’ve been neglecting this for a few weeks while I’ve been working on my house. I really miss doing the jewelry, and after a while, when I don’t do it, I get down. It is a great love, and I would do it even if I did not sell it. This is a fun bracelet to make and looks good on my wrist. It molds to fit the wrist, so it stays in place. There is no clasp.
So now all I have to do is get my web site updated with some new things.
Thanks for any comments .

Even though I live in central Virginia and Winter has not really gotten here yet, it’s been cold this year. Colder than last year at this time. I am ready for sunshine and warmer breezes, palm trees and sand. Florida is really calling me. Getting there is another matter, though. When you’re going to be gone for a few months, packing is a lot of work. Since I am a crafter and love to make jewelry as well as other crafts, I have to take all the items for these activities with me as well as the standard things to take on a trip. My sister and I go together in our RV, and we have a great time. We both love to drive it. She takes her cat, Didi, and I take my dog, Bradley. Didi is about 12 lbs., and Bradley is 20 lbs. He’s a ShihTzu mix. Our pets seem to have an agreement when they travel together. They ignore each other as much as it’s possible to do in a 30′ RV, and when they have to be near each other, they keep a keen eye out. Every now and then Didi gives Bradley a growl, just to keep him on his feet.
Both my sister sell out jewelry at craft fairs. This year for the first time since we’ve been going to Florida, we are going to try selling at a few craft fairs near us in Florida and see how we do. I enjoy doing craft fairs, talking with people, and selling what I make. It’s fun, and it’s great to get different viewpoints about my jewelry and other topics.
Today, I took a break from packing and made some new wire wrapped pendants. The gemstones are very interesting. They have forrest green veins in a green-gray translucent background. Each is wrapped somewhat differently. You can see more information about the pendants at http://yessy.com/wmj
