Jewelry Night!

Here are the pictures from jewelry night earlier this week. Rachel (who makes about 80% of the jewelry I now wear) had a bracelet class, and a couple of us threw in a pair of earrings just for kicks. :) I was intimidated by the choices of beads and all the tools. I suppose I now know how people feel when they observe a hard core stamp fest in action.

Amanda made a very cute bracelet with all kinds of colors in it - perfect for about any outfit. It was her first time to join us and we loved having her!

Here's Rachel helping Olivia make a VERY cute bracelet. Hers had some big chunky pink beads in it - SO cute.


Jaye - our trooper of the night - beaded her entire bracelet with her broken hand. You go, Jaye! It was really cute too - and had the possibility to go with lots of outfits.

Amber was so cute working on hers - she put so much thought into the pattern and then she realized it was too long so she had to start over. She and I both did black bracelets - but hers was extra spiffed with some ribbon!

This is me freaking out about using the tools and Rachel trying to guide me. I think I'll let her bead and I'll stamp.

But where's the picture of how your jewelry turned out???

Yeah that would be the one I didn't take. LOL. Actually I couldn't completely finish the bracelet that night because she didn't have the kind of clasp I can maneuver with one hand. So she kept it until she got new ones on Friday. And I discovered yesterday that one of the earring beads has a crack in it (OOPS!) So once I get that repaired, I'll get you a picture.

That looked like a lot of fun. I've tried my hand at it and came to the conclusion that jewelry making was not my gift. My gift is to collect it as finances allow. :O)

Tina - I like that perspective. I think I'll join you in it! :)
