I'm Back.....!!!!!

Hey guys! Sorry about the VERY long Hiatus. I have been VERY busy because school is winding down and I have to get everything ready to Study Abroad.

Also after Friday I will not be posting anything again until AFTER April 4th. Anyway, on to the good news I am also finished with the bracelet from the previous post (the red, black, and white one) I just need to wait for the glaze to dry (=

I also have two more earring creations to post today. CHANDELIER EARRINGS!!!! YEY!

(=  I absolutely LOVE chandelier earrings and I thought since I already have some of the parts I might as well make a pair or two. So I created a red pair and a blue pair. Hope you like it (=

Update

Hello everyone.

Sorry I haven't posted in over a week I've been a bit busy with school, midterms, projects, and I am designing a new bracelet for a friend. I also didn't want to update without something to say. I should have the bracelet design finished by the end of today and the actual bracelet done during Spring Break the week after next.

To give you an idea of what I've been working on:






Now what I'm going to do about the earrings I'm not sure yet but I have a VERY limited supply of black beads and VERY few different designs of red beads.

Random Beads I Made

Hello. This is the last post of the night. Here are 4 random beads I made to represent the Harry Potter House Colors. The first is sort of a "demonstration" type thing where I show you how I got the beads to wrap. Anyway it's basically a bead that has wire wrapped around it which also has beads on the wire.

My Customizable Scrabble Bracelet

Here is a customizable Scrabble Bracelet that I made for myself.


I didn't create matching earrings but I did spell out my name: Amanda Lynn The beads inbetween are regular oval beads with a smaller bead dangling from the ends.

The picture below is a picture of:
My favorite dessert: Chocolate Covered Strawberries
A Picture of Me
One of my 2 favorite flowers: Sunflowers
As well as the various charms.




This next Photo is a Photo of Me and three of my cousins in my cousin's car during Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house the year before she died. I'm in the back with the green shirt. The second photo is a picture of Green Satin Fabric representing my favorite color being Emerald Green.



This next photo is a picture of the charm with me and my good friend Mahzabina. This was a photo that was taken at Disneyland during our Grad Night Trip in 2009. Along with this photo is a charm that has been cut off. This charm is of Red Tulips which are my second favorite flowers.



This next photo is a photo of Red Tulips again along with a photo of me and my two closest Cousins, Cheyenne (the blue beaded scrabble bracelet) and Krystina (called Nina) during a trip to San Francisco.


The next photo is a picture of one of my favorite TV Shows and Certainly my favorite CSI tv show CSI: Miami featuring my two favorite Characters Eric Delko and Ryan Wolfe (the one I have the hots for) played by Adam Rodriguez and Jonathan Togo respectively.


This last photo is a photo of  me and my cousin Cheyenne (previously mentioned). This photo was taken the night of my graduation at a Boat Cruise around the San Francisco Bay. It's also a picture of the clasp (although that is going to change).

Oh! I forgot to post a picture of the back side (=

A Couple Earrings I Made

Hello again!

Here are a few earrings I made. The cherry ones below I made because of a previous pair I had broke and I got the idea from there.








These next earrings I got from an idea online at Lindsey Marcella's Site

I thought they were cute and wanted to make my own so here they are:





These last earrings I got the idea from a wire bead cage. I had just bought 50 of them and I was testing a bead by putting it inside and when I tried to get the bead out I couldn't. So what did I do? I got fed up and twisted the wire and ended up cutting it in half. When putting the two halves next to each other I thought that they would make good earrings so I decided to create earrings from them. They're made from VERY hard wire. It was hard to manipulate the wire to bend and create a "loop" so I could attach it to the earring hoop.



To Anyone Wanting a Customizable Bracelet

Hello! This is for anyone who would like a scrabble bracelet.

I am selling scrabble bracelets depending on the size of the bracelet as well as if you would like any beads and if so what is your preference. If no preference on color or anything I'll add beads that would go well with the bracelet.

Also if you want it customizable please let me know what you want to spell out, as well as what photos.

NOTE: You MUST send me the photos you would like to have on the bracelet. If you want a picture of a giraffe for example I could find it and show you to see if it acceptable. Thanks (=

I can also do necklaces but necklaces will only have 1 charm because having more is a bit messy.

If you have any questions please feel free to comment and I'll answer it as soon as I can (=

Thank you!

Grey's Anatomy Scrabble Bracelet

I had just finished my marathon of watching all the episodes of Grey's Anatomy straight and I came up with the idea of doing a scrabble bracelet from the show. On the back spells Grey's Anatomy obviously. I didn't add certain characters because I didn't have enough room. Although I secretly added Denny Duquette because I LOVED him and I love Jeffrey Dean Morgan so he just had to be there. I also added Jackson Avery (Jesse Jackson's Character) because he is my current favorite and I love his eyes. I also organized the bracelet which I'll explain below (=



Obviously I didn't have an " ' " and I didn't have an extra "Y" so I was going to write them in. I am also not sure about what charms I should add, If I should add any so I was just going to put random charms.






The set up of the characters is as follows:
1. George O'Malley married Calleigh Torres (the divorced)
2. Calleigh is best friends with Mark Sloan
3. Mark slept with Addison Montgomery
4. Addison Montgomery was the wife of Derek Shepherd (she also slept with Mark while she was still married causing Derek to move to Seattle)
5. Derek fell in love with and later married Meredith Grey
6. Meredith's best friend is Christina Yang
7. Christina was an intern of Dr. Miranda Bailey
8. Bailey helped put Jackson Avery
9. Avery's friend is Lexie Grey (also sister to Meredith and love interest of Mark's)
10. Lexy dated Alex Karev
11. Alex married Izzie Stevens (who later left him after she discovered she had cancer, george dying, and her eventual recovery)
12. Izzie's love interest and her motivation to open a clinic through the hopsital Denny Duquette

If you're still with me after that long and somewhat confusing cluster of ???? then here are the rest of the pictures (=







Yet Another Customized Scrabble Bracelet

This is another Scrabble bracelet that I made for my friend Christina for her birthday simultaneously with my cousin Cheyenne's bracelet. This one was a little different and took longer because I had to individually hand wrap each bead myself. Her bracelet is customizable to her because of picutres of her but also:

her favorite color is purple: the beads
her favorite book: Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice
her favorite tv show: Vampire Diaries featuring her favorite couple
her favorite food: pepperoni pizza
her favorite activity: play the violin
her favorite movie: Nightmare on Elm street the Original






The scrabble tiles spell out the name Christina on the back.



I Individually wrapped each bead because they looked so much better wrapped and I didn't have any other beads that would compliment them as well as the blue ones from the other bracelet for my cousin did. I used purple and pink beads to give a little color difference to the beads and because both colors went really well with each other.



This bracelet also came with matching earrings although her earrings didn't contain any pink.


Here are the rest of the photos along with close ups (=



Another Scrabble Bracelet

Here is another scrabble bracelet. This one was customized for my cousin Cheyenne. I customized it for her for her birthday. I used pictures of her along with pictures of....
her favorite animal: a giraffe
her favorite movie: showgirls
her favorite color: turquoise
her favorite flower: orchid
and her favorite dessert: cheesecake



I also put charms in the middle of each scrabble tile to give room and i used 2 different beads. I used blue for obvious reasons of it being her favorite color but these two beads just complimented each other so well that I fell in love with the combination.
The back of the bracelet is supposed to spell Cece Brito for her nickname and her last name BUT there is a blank because I didn't have any more "C" tiles so I told her that I was going to write it in for her.



I also did matching handmade earrings as well (=


Here are some pictures (=
