Here’s a gift I made for a girlfriend, but I ended up making her something else, so this bracelet is in need of a home. I’ve posted it over at PoshTidbits, if you’d like to see the details. I call it a “Luscious Lime Glass Bead Bracelet,” because it reminds me of sparkling lime punch with ice cubes. $20+shipping. Cheers!

Here is a photo of what I did this afternoon. We had a big snow/ice/wind event this weekend, so even church was cancelled. I don’t mind winter weather, as long as I don’t have to drive on ice. Besides, I needed to make a Christmas gift for someone, so I came up with this. It is fresh and fruity, and makes me think of sunshine and citrus — exactly the opposite of today’s weather! I used all kinds of beads, including fire-polished faceted Czech glass, peridot gem chips, clear quartz chips, and cathedral beads. I love the way it turned out. It’s a bit heavy with all that glass, but boy, does it sparkle! Do you like it?
