Beading in the Studio...

Here is my design board for bracelets. It is a smaller version than the large one I use for necklace designs. As you can see I got this from my favorite online source Fire Mountain Gems. I have spent time in the studio today beading some bracelets for Valentine's holiday.
I had fun digging through my bead boxes for colors and combinations that looked good together. This is proof that you do not need to purchase special beads for every design. I managed to make three bracelets with beads I had in my stash. These could have been beads I had previously purchased or in many cases beads left over from other projects.


I think you might agree that these three bracelets have heart and clearly look good for Valentine's day celebrations.
I loved being in the studio and making these bracelets. They came together quite quickly and easily. Now I am ready for Valentine's.
I hope you are able to spend time in your art room this week and make happy art.
Happy creating...

  1. I love your beaded bracelets.
    I also love using crafting materials that are in the cupboard. I was able to do that with my Holiday card. Yipee.

    Have a nice restful evening!

  7. Happy art indeed - they are so cute! And how neat you could do them from your stash - that's what I am trying to do these days too! I have never seen that kind of design board (not a jewellery maker but I want to play - a little!) but it looks very handy. We are in the throes of winter here too and I am already longing for Spring. It is damp here and snowy and you get chilled to the bone and can't get warm. Thank heavens for kitties!
