I’m very excited about this release!

I’ve been working on these behind the scenes for the past couple weeks and I finally got around to photographing them today. I’ll be listing them individually throughout the day.

I love them! I like their dainty simplicity.

They are made by weaving tiny 1mm Japanese glass seed beads through Antiqued Copper small cable chain. They look adorable worn individually, stacked together or even paired with other bracelets. I’ve chosen to list them individually, but I might list some in pairs or groups later on. We’ll see how it goes!

So, it’s not anywhere as warm as it was two weeks ago, but still it’s a pleasant sunny day here in Dublin with lots of pure white, fluffy clouds – my favourite kind.

I did finally get around to working on some more ReBalanced pieces and got them listed today. I should probably be doing laundry or something, but, meh. That’s what Sundays are for.

I have been working on these for the past few weeks. I really love the look of them. My favourite pieces of jewelry are always those I can play with. I want to touch them and feel them. I love texture and tactile qualities in everything.

I really do love them, but I’d also love to hear what others think of them. Let me know in a comment.

If you’d love to touch them yourself, they can be found here.

Una  – Bracelet

The focal point of this bracelet is a lovely Antique Bronze flower topped with a single round Montana (navy) Blue faceted Czech glass bead and tiny Bronze round spacers. It is surrounded on both sides with additional Montana Blue Czech glass oval beads on handmade links and finished with an Antique Bronze lobster claw clasp and chain.

It measures 7″ (17.8cm) long, but can be sized to fit at no additional cost.

Also, my free worldwide shipping deal is still on so take advantage!

I finally snagged myself some time today to get a painting finished. It’s titled “Couch’s Kingbird”.  This extremely rare bird is found from southern Texas along the Gulf Coast to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Couch’s Kingbird is virtually indistinguishable from the Tropical Kingbird, which occupies the same neotropical range, but the voices of the two differ consistently. To officially distinguish the species, vocalization would have to be heard.

Available in my online shop! Thanks for looking.
