Four stranded wire with dangles on the end

I might need to take a course in how to photograph my jewelry.   These photos just don't do justice to the rich colors of the different strands.  There is a nice light orange, two different reddish browns and a dark orange.  Maybe since these are chips, they don't reflect the color so well.   But it does look nice while I am wearing it.

Re-doing a couple of stretchy bracelets

I bought these 2 stretchy bracelets at a small shop in Giza (just a bit down from that guest house I don't plan to go back to again,lol). As all stretchy bracelets eventually do, some of the stretch was too much and one popped. I replaced the elastic yesterday but now I am thinking I will put them on some memory wire instead.

 What the 2 stretchy bracelets look like converted to a memory wire with dangles😊

Carnelian and Red Tiger Eye Memory Wire Bangle

I put all the bits together this morning by adding some silver beads as spacers between the different strands then using some silver beads with red tiger eye beads as dangles on the end.

I am not sure about the results so will ponder whether to make changes.   Meanwhile, I am posting here to show the current work for consideration.  :-)

I made a few things that I decided to take to a belly dance garage sale. . . . maybe someone will buy them?

 

Also I have something in the works.   Not just some of the stretchy bracelets, but a memory wire bangle.  Maybe??   Hopefully, I'll figure out how to get everything put together in a way that I like.

Green Bead Mix Bracelets

I had a bunch of green beads sitting around here forever.   So I decided to use them up.   I made one memory wire bracelet and 3 stretchy bracelets   Not too bad, right???

New wire wraps from this past weekend

I've been trying to get back in the swing of things by using up some beads and, hopefully to sell a few to cover the cost of the beads I buy.  Ar this point I am probably in the hole to the tune of a couple of thousand bucks.  I love beautiful beads!!   I get them all organized then pull them out to look at them.

I used to joke that I was stock piling for retirement.   Well, guess what!!????   Now is the time!!!

More Memory Wire Bracelets

I had a lot of chunky beads when I made these   I still have a lot of chunky beads but I think I'll try to make some with smaller beads.   I have lots of seed beads in different sizes.

I made a lot of  memory wire bracelets a few years ago. Sold some but gave many away.

My favorite pair are these red ones that I wear with one of my costumes.  Perfect red for me!

I even made a pair of earring to match with some small hamsas on them.
