Same Old New Stuff part II

Some new designs with my trusty bullet casing bezels.

Steel cut buttons that fit in the bezels (how lucky is that)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

A Little Structure

a time to be still

Spent Ammo, Hardware & Games

are you making vrooom vroom sounds?

Getting ready for 3 shows - yikes!   I promised 40 (yep 40) pieces to the last show, easy to commit to in April, now it's WHAT were you thinking.

A little behind on my blog reading and comments . . . my apologies!

Hope your having a great week!

A Peek

Hearts and hands have always been a favorite.



Plan B - Part 1

      Thought I would share some pieces that didn't turn out as planned.

I showed this in a earlier post.  Pretty as it is it didn't function, the focal was constantly on the inside of my arm.
  Really annoying, and not a design I would be comfortable lising.

Plan B

Not annoying to wear, stays where it should and I think the swirly design on the etched metal looks good with the cut steel.

And just to put it out there . .  Plan B needs a little tweaking.  The rivets stretched when I formed the cuff around the mandrel (good grief will this ever be done).  Sooooo, I'm starting on Plan C this afternoon, tiny nuts and bolts will be replacing the rivets.

And since things don't work out as planned I'll be posting Plan B - Part 2 soon.

Have a great week everyone!

I had to Have them

Aren't these the sweetest beads



I'm not sure how I missed them before, but

when I saw them on www.SueBeads.blogspot.com post

last Friday I didn't waste anytime

I'm wearing them now

(while I wrestle with the gi-normous dust bunnies that have taken over the house)

Hope everyone has a nice looong weekend!!
