Anybody wanna trade?

Okay, here's the stuff that I'm willing to trade. The first picture has all the details, and then you can see close-ups below. I estimate the value of everything to be about $20-25. I'd like to trade everything, like an all or nothing deal. Let me know!

New work...

Well, I've finally gotten around to taking pictures of some of my new things, so I thought I would take this opportunity to show you what I've been up to.

I call this Copper Bluebirds. I made it using a little connector that I found at JoAnn Fabric's. I don't normally go in there, but I needed ultrasuede to work on....

My first piece of bead embroidery. I've been wanting to try my hand at it for a while, so I made a small brooch just to get my feet wet, and whadda ya' know? It turned out great! My sister wants me to make her a headband now, so we'll see what happens!

Lastly, I'm thinkin' about taking a picture of some of my supplies that I've acquired over the last year, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a little trade? I'm calling it spring cleaning for my beading stash. Anyone interested? I'll try to get a picture of my unwanted supplies and post it by tomorrow and we'll see who bites.

Purple Inspiration

Okay, finally got around to posting my Flickr inspiration creation. I started by searching "purple" in the color group in which I'm a member because I had some purple bugle beads burnin' a hole in my pocket. So, when this popped up, I just knew that I could use it as inspiration. One herringbone beaded cuff later and here's my Flickr inspiration creation!! I decided to go with a slightly lighter shade of the colors rather than use the black because I wanted to wear it during spring and summer, however for the winter, the purple and black would be a great addition to a wardrobe...hhhmmm...may have to do that in the future. So my next question is...where's your Flickr inspiration?
You can find my inspiration picture here.

Como ya les prometí...

Like I promised, here's the picture of my mother's necklace that I made her on the drive to Atlanta. (I know this is a terribly late post, you can't imagine the past two weeks that I've had.) I hope that you enjoy it. I'm not completely sold on the design, but she really likes it, and that's what matters. I made it with herringbone stitch, and the two main colors are coral and cream with little soft green translucents thrown in for some sparkle.
