Home is where my heart is

The more I travel the more affection I have for my home.

To have my family, my cats and my lovely, sentimental little things around me are all I need.

It is the safe haven where I happily spend most of my time.

Or maybe I’ve just romanticized being a shut-in!

Well, it’s time once again to review another artbeads.com jewelry finding.  This one is actually pretty special, it inspired me to move my jewelry in a new direction.  I used  pre-made sterling silver circles and beaded inside them with tiny seed beads.  I was so excited at all the color combos I could come up with!  So far I’ve made several new pieces in this more modern style and I’m loving it!  I’m able to work with my favorite materials and bring them together in a really unique way.  The chain is also an artbeads.com item.  For now, I’m making my own silver circles with fine silver because I can, but for someone who’s not into soldering or fusing their own findings this is a great item to play around with.  I’ll be putting the new pieces in the store soon.

Some of my old bracelets

Here are a few pictures of beaded bracelets that I had made in the past.  At the time, I didn’t think to take aesthetically pleasing  photos of them.  I just put them in my scanner and that was that.  So, I made them a little more pleasing to the eye  by giving them something other than a white background.
