Bejeweled Hen
Mon Jun 18 2007

A good friend of mine was wearing a bracelet the other day that I admired and asked her where she got it. She said that she had made it herself. 

I decided I could copy it pretty well and set out to get a few supplies. After a day's worth of chagrin that I had just purchased a bunch of stuff that I didn't have a clue how to put together properly, I girded up my loins and dove in.

 Here is my first bracelet:

Nothing fancy, I admit. But it suits my tastes. 

I have other things to do today, but I can't tear myself away from the beading board.

    Back off, Hen! When creativity calls, it must be answered!

    Lovely work, would look great with a sweater and jeans...

    Knew you could do it all along. Very pretty.
    I don't like really fancy either.
    I love the blue beads.

    Oh Little Red...put a sock in it already!
    Hugs, Tiggs

    Very nice and it suits you just fine.
    We put in a couple hard mornings and brushed on first coat of waterproof sealer on deck railing I had sanded down Friday. This morning moved all the patio stuff in and I pressure washed the deck and stairs . Got the job done but by noon it was 91 and I know I will pay for it . The finished job is now clean and ready for sealing after drying for a couple days.It may take me that long to recope. Pressure washing is not a easy undertaking but One never paints or seals over dirty wood.

    It's funny. I have a whole bunches of beads and supplies. I"ve been working on it for about a month. I love doing this and it's so much fun!

    Hugs, LS~~*

    I think its pretty, I too prefer the under-stated bobbles over the in-your-face bling bobbles.

    Very pretty; far nicer than some of the over priced stuff I saw in the stores the last time I looked.

    I made a few necklaces many, many years ago, but gave it up when the necessary parts got hard to find. Now its easy to find the stuff and I haven't got the time. Sigh, there is just no winning. :)

    As to the hen, I don't think she is really concerned about work; I think she is just miffed because you didn't make her a pretty bauble to wear. She really should have a string of pearls you know...... just like June Cleaver. ;)

    I have a bracelet in mind to make too, though different than yours. I think the one you made is lovely and the colors mean you can wear it with almost everything. Very nice!!

    The bracelet is fabulous. I love the summery colours, too. I can imagine you'll wear it a lot as it's not fussy. Great start. He he, watch out, it's addictive. ;-)
