Bee Yourself

January 6, 2011

Well, the new year is upon us and I’ve gone and created the first bracelet of the year. Yay! It’s somewhat of a departure from my usual, but I’ll let you "Bee" the judge.  Get it? hehe, I know.








Where are the pearls, the beads? Well, there are a few glass faceted beads and a few freshwater pearls, but NOTHING like my previous creations. I guess I wanted the C-H-A-R-M-S to really stand out on this one.  It's full of vintage charms created from old earrings as well as a medal thrown in for good measure.  And lots of vintage bling  ~ my favorite kind.

It’s not for the faint of heart ~ it’s pretty jingly ~ is that even a word? But I LOVE JINGLY so it’s no problem for me!

Here’s to a Jingly 2011 everyone!

 I'll be linking up over at these parties ~ go show 'em some love!

Hey Kathleen,

This is really beautiful, you did a great job. The bees is so cute, and the jingle I'm sure sounds great. I have a bracelet that has little bells on it, reminds me of belly dancers, or gypsies, I love it, :)

All of your work is delicious! I especially love this since I adore anything with cute bugs on it - bees, ladybirds, dragonflies, snails, anything! <3 Congrats on your first piece of the year :D
