Wire Crochet Necklace

I'm always open for learning something new, so when my friend, Heidi, offered to teach me wire crochet with beads I said lets give it a try. Above is photo of my first attempt at a necklace. It is a lot of fun, so I will be making more. Thanks, Heidi, for your patience, teaching me, 1st crocheting, then adding the wire and beads. 

This is Heidi's necklace before adding the clasp.  As you can see the possibilities are endless...Link to intro to wire crochet "youtube"

Trellis Cuff

The Trellis Cuff is my variation on Michelle Heim's pattern, "Paragon Cuff", which is on the cover of BEADWORK , Aug/Sept 2015. The pattern is embellished right-angle-weave and uses 3 styles of shaped beads: O beads, SuperDuos and rondelles plus size #11 seed beads.

Cuff topped off with a pair of matching earrings and you have a great set....

Oh! Oh! Bracelet II

The "Oh! Oh! Bracelet" uses a lot of the new "O" bead, thus the name. The pattern works up very nicely with the "O" beads, 4 MM crystals, 4 MM rounds, Ruellas, Superduos, and #11 Seed Beads. Add a matching pair of earrings and you have a great set.

Sorry This "Oh! Oh! Bracelet" and earring set is spoken for, but custom orders are always available at beadsbaublesandbracelets@gmail.com
