Do you need to update your colors?

Fall will be here before we know it & I have been checking into the new colors for ordering & design purposes. I thought I would pass them along to you so you can start planning your new wardrobe. If any of these colors are your favorites or seem to interest you, let me know & I will design a fabulous set of earrings, necklace, and or bracelet just for you.
Fall Colors for 2009

* American Beauty - true red, great for all skin tones (can we say patriotic?)

* Purple Heart - feel-good color, shows off your creativity - mix of true purple & lilac

* Honey Yellow - warm yellow, just a hint of honeyed beige

* Iron - the new "black" - goes well with all colors in this palette, the brown cast makes it a warmer alternative to gray.

* Burnt Sienna - pinkish, earthy orange & red tones

* Nomad -a beige like/grey color "this color is more on the yellow side than the 'true' Nomad"

* Rapture Rose - still reminiscing fuchsia but toned down with a soft pink

* Warm Olive - yellow-green, kind of like an olive for your martini

* Majolica Blue - dark teal but softer than navy

* Creme Brulee - neutral color (soften than white) - "this color is a little off but the closest color wouldn't show up"

Who doesn't love a pirate?

Pirate's Royalty
Here is a new bracelet design I started yesterday & was able to finish today even with my terrible headache. I got stir crazy & needed to finish this design instead of relaxing.
I love the skull & cross bones button. Now I have a bracelet to go with my bluish/purple ruffle dress.

It's baby time!

Need a baby gift? My baby plates are great personalized presents to the new parents for their brand new little girl/boy. Having it personalized to match the nursery is always a cute idea.
** If you do not know the sex of the baby by the time of the shower - I will be happy to make up a gift certificate & when the baby is born, then the parents can give me all the exact details for their personalized plate **
This particular baby plate is for a couple who work at Caterpillar & just had a baby boy. I also paint cute matching pictures on the back of the plate.

The new Right-Angle-Weave

Multicolor Fruit Loop Bracelet

Right-Angle Weave Bracelet in Multicolor. This bracelet reminds me of the cereal Fruit Loops because of the roundness and the all the fun bright colors!
I made a toggle clasp for this adorable bracelet out of peyote stitch. This bracelet is almost 7.5" in length.

Tuxedo Choker
"Right-angle-weave" Choker Necklace. Beautiful choker in black, white, crystal, and nickel seed beads. This necklace is truly lovely & elegant. It is a little over 12" long. I chose 2 buttons for this necklace which gives you the option of wearing the necklace 2 ways; with the buttons in the back or in the front.

The New Sassy Shag

A new Sassy Shag Bracelet in Silver!

My third Sassy Shag Bracelet. I love making these beauties. They are so much fun and get so much attention. If I have one on, I get compliments everywhere I go & they are normally the first design customers look at when I have them on display at shows.

This particular bracelet has one layer of fringe instead of two. I had not intended to do that when I started but I actually really like it. Either way, they are fabulous bracelets. What happened was, I ran out of beads but I really wanted it finished so I could display it at a show, so viola - the 1 fringe layer sassy shag. (I have 2 layer shag bracelets in hot pink/silver & gold/gold). I added a great button I found online that has a girl with a little puppy dog. I originally saw a similar set of buttons in a local bead store but didn't find one to "my style" but when I saw the puppy, I fell in love. I'm a huge puppy dog lover. I think it looks great with this bracelet.

If you would like a certain color in the sassy shag that I have not made yet, please email or call and I would be happy to customize one for you.

A bracelet for everyday

Silver & Gold: how can you go wrong?

I used a combination of the colors along with a fabulous vintage crystal button I found when I was cleaning out my grandmothers sewing closets. It works perfectly with this bracelet. I was finding so many of the new crystal buttons were too shiny and this one had just enough "depth" to it that it is the perfect fit.

Let's Play Ball

Save your money in a Baseball Bank.

I painted St. Louis Cardinals on one side of this bank. The other side has a child's name painted on it, personalized just for him or her. There is a slot on top that makes this a piggy bank.

This bank comes blank so if the Cardinals are not your team of choice, or if you would just like your name on this bank, let me know and I will personalize one for you.
