Jewelry Series - Lets look at Bracelets!

I took a break from my jewelry series, partially because I was just tired this week and not on top of a lot of things, and partially because I figured we needed a break from the jewelry series before I moved on! But move on I have and it's time for a look at bracelets!

Guess what? I'm starting off with chain maille again! Have I mentioned that I'm fascinated with this stuff? One of these days I WILL learn! There's so much you can do with it and I'm endlessly surprised by the things I find.  There are so many different styles out there...

Yes, I'm weird...

So with all the asthma in my life, and my ER visit last night because of it, I wandered off on an asthma tangent while browsing on etsy tonight! 

Did you know that Amethyst is thought to be good for the lungs?
Good thing I love purple eh?



I may hate my lungs some days - but I'd wear this shirt :P



Yes, I love Spanish :)



For those who want to be all stylish with their inhalers...


And on a lighter note...

but you can't READ her main pic :P )

Jewelry Series - Wire-wrapped Rings! Part 1

So this is one I'm really excited about because it's on my list of techniques to learn and master!  Currently holding me back - I need a ring sizer and I should get higher quality wire first...  Anyway, I found so many cool rings that I'm going to do TWO days worth of them!

Jewelery Series - Lampwork Rings

Rings, rings, and more rings! It's interesting as I'm doing this series because I'm finding more and more categories to break up the traditional "ring, bracelet, necklace, earrings" into. This is my third in the Rings series and I have more planned to come! Looking forward to it? You should be :)

Lampwork beads fascinate me and are something that I know I'll never be able to make. So when I first stumbled across lampwork RINGS I was even more impressed! Check out these fantastic colors :)

Jewelry Series - Chain Maille Rings

I'm utterly fascinated by chain maille work and I'm just waiting for the day when everything lines up right and my friend will be able to teach me how to do this!  It looks addicting :P Anyway, here's more rings, chain maille style :)
