New Bracelets

I added more bracelets to my etsy shop.  When I feel a down mood coming on I start making bracelets.  I like making bracelets.  

I have lots of beads and I have netflix  so I combine the two and make a day of it or a week it just depends on when I can bring about a change to my mood.  The difference this time was I set a goal to use all of the 6mm faceted beads I have and to make some bracelets using memory wire.

So I went through the beads I have hanging.  I went through the beads in the boxes.  I went through all the different beads in the containers.  I am looking for a shape, it is not quite round not quite oval with plenty of facets.  I know I have more but I found alot already so I get started.  

I've pulled the ottoman a little closer to the couch,  I've set up a tv tray next to ottoman then pushed it to the side so I could fit between the two.  I've separated the beads into color piles, then arranged and rearranged them until the combination of colors is pleasing to me.  Now to turn on Apple TV, go to netflix, my account, recently watched, ah now I can finish that series of "Leverage" and make some Fire Polished Czech Glass Bracelets.   

I made enough to post a listing on www.etsy.com/marcenebt99  I kept one for myself.   My daughter came by to visit, she put one on then later went home without taking it off.   

I went looking for more beads and found more so I made more bracelets.  So many different colors.  

Sometimes I don't realize just how much I have in the way of beads and supplies until I start gathering 1 specific kind.  No 2 bracelets are exactly alike because I changed the arrangement of the beads or added different colors before each bracelet was started.  Every time. 

This is how I made each of the FIRE POLISHED CZECH GLASS BRACELETS

each Czech Glass bracelet is $6.99

I also wanted to use the small to medium size glass chips I have.  Full strands, unused but the colors were so intriguing. There is a metallic coating on the beads that give them a look that kept my attention.  now, I buy in bulk to get a good price so I bought like 10 different colors but I had no idea what to make and could not bring myself to part with them.  It was the color with that metallic sheen. It is ever so slight but it is there.  For sure.  So I held onto these beads until ..... now.
Besides using the unforgettable color of these glass chips I also wanted to use the memory wire I've been holding onto because one day I was going to use it.  I just knew I would.  I've had that wire awhile.
I learned a couple things about memory wire.
1) It is not easy to work with, not for me anyway.   2) It is definitely worth the work.
The bracelets turned out great.  They look wonderful.   I used 9 different colors and made the bracelets with enough wire to wrap twice around your wrist.
each memory wire glass chip bracelet is $4.99

I am feeling better but now I want to finish up the rest of the czech beads.   I am trying to organize and what better way ... use up my stock.
