This piece would be great to wear with nearly anything in your wardrobe. Bracelet will fit wrists up to 7&3/4" to 8&1/2" with an adjustable chain and lobster claw clasp.

Gray Knotted Glass Focal on Silk Ribbon by WillOaksStudio

A version of my glass knot in soft, iridescent gray. I love to tie knots but never imagined I could make a glass knot until I invented this design a few weeks ago. Six long strands of Czech glass seed beads, in the color of gray with a subtle rainbow on top, have been arranged to link through coordinated gray mother of pearl hoops. This arrangement doubles the glass to 12 strands which are knotted into one big, soft knot to fall right in the center of the front.

The knotted glass focal point, about 7” long, is worn with two adjustable hand-dyed silk ribbons which terminate in a spring clasp and an extension chain. The shortest length this design can be worn is about 16 ½”, or up to just over 18” using the extension.

And an awesome characteristic is that this hot item can be machine washed and dryed (but for drying I recommend air drying over a bowl or pan to keep the shape of the bill). It is easy to care for, and super versatile with any fall or winter outfit (see my other color choice listings!). Not too bulky, and you could easily fold it up and put it in your jacket pocket!

Fabric Mosaic Blue Star Banner by BlueDesertRoses

This is a custom order only. Allow one week for completion.

This Blue Star Banner is my own design. Not the star itself but the way that it is made. I cut each piece out of the red, whit, and blue fabrics then fuse them to a black piece of fabric. I then stick around each piece. I can embroider the branch of service, rank, and name under the star if you would like. The second picture is an actual custom order with two stars. I have made the double stars with different branches of the service also.

The Blue Star Banner was originally for the Mother's of soldiers that are in an active war. Now, it's still for Mother's but I have made them for wives and husbands whose spouse is in Iraq or Afghanistan.

One Thousand Flowers Plus One glass and linen necklace by WillOaksStudio

Mille fiori is Italian for a thousand flowers and it's also a specialty glass that has a flowery pattern from the way the glass has been made.

This cobalt blue and white glass pendant includes tiny white flowers against a deep blue background all floating in a clear glass base. The braided chain is very reminiscent of narrow grosgrain ribbon with a dainty textured edge. It features tiny deep cobalt blue clear glass beads and medium gray linen fiber.

HOLY BRIGHT BAUBLE BRACELET BATMAN by seoulesscreations

This bracelet is like none other, and is sure to get notice. I haven't seen a bracelet on Etsy like this yet. The funky chain is hand painted aluminum, and on its own would be very light.

Even the over-sized lobster clasp, which is also hand painted, is its own focal piece. I truly believe that this bracelet would definitely not have the same effect without that painted chunky chain.

Hand Knit Blue Baby Receiving Blanket by iKnitQuiltSew

It is machine wash and dry on cool/delicate settings. I really like this yarn; it has a very rich, luxurious feel to it.

Heraldic Lion Fragment pendant by vintageBeadery

Size approximately 3/4" long hanging from a fine silver twist chain.

Braided single piece leather cuff bracelet adjustable with suede lace by GossamerScapes

Warm, creamy pumpkin colored leather is the focal point of this braided bracelet made of one piece of leather! I use a special technique so this cuff won't come undone at the ends.

Once the cuff has been laced to fit your wrist, you can knot the ends of the cord, cut them off or tuck them underneath the band to finish the look!

Sparkle lace. Very elegant looking and light-weight! Just a hint of sparkle so this scarf is great for an evening out on the town! Finished with matching fringe, scarf measures appx 65" x 3 1/2"

"P" is for Pretty in Pink with a Pink scarf by suzannemedrano

This beautiful chunky scarf will keep you warm this winter. I created the design, which reminds me of tree bark. The bark pattern block is repeated ten times in the length of the scarf.

Fifteen strands of varying weights and colors make up this unusual combination yarn. The yarn is from a crafter’s recycling store, which takes in remnants from local manufacturers. It came in six factory made balls and I used all six. Sealed in a clear plastic tube, there were no indications as to the type of yarn or manufacturer. I hand washed the scarf in cold water, gently spun it in the washing machine, and let it dry blocked on a towel. I don’t believe it contains wool.

Pumpkin Creme Brulee scented handmade natural palm wax pillar candle by candleguy821

A natural palm wax pillar candle scented with a premium fragrance oil called Pumpkin Creme Brulee (candle only), and offered at low prices. The handmade natural palm wax pillar candle is 3 inches in diameter X 4 1/2 inches tall. This hand poured palm wax pillar candle has a fragrance described as like the aroma from pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, cardamom, Vermont maple, French vanilla, and caramelized sugar. I have colored this palm wax candle a robust golden orange that develops a silvery hue at the ridges of the crystal effects.

Brown Goldstone, Sienna Silk and Leather Cuff or Bracelet by WillOaksStudio

Delicate golden sparkles light up these man made stones that are a warm, reddish brown. A metal button of golden brass filagree closes the cuff and echoes the golden glints in the stones. This is my newest original design: a bracelet cuff of natural beauty, sturdy construction and perfect comfort.

I began to imagine this structure a couple of years ago but somehow, pulling it together eluded me for quite awhile...until just recently when all the parts finally began to fit together. Heavy leather, dyed a dark warm golden color provides the circular structure to dense, rich edges of pure silk, crocheted to capture the row of cylindrical stones. The cuff, worn either looser or more snug, is quite pliable and together with the soft, silky edges, you will forget you're even wearing it.

Floral Copper and Glass Browns by BeanzBeads

Is it hippy? Is it chic? YES and YES!!! Antiqued copper pendant is approximately 2 1/2 inches in diameter with a floral motif. The beads are cream, brown, tan, and copper lampwork glass with fancy accents. Medium sized red agate rounds also join in the mix. Necklace is 18 inches long and finished with an antiqued copper lobster clasp. Fun and funky!

Golden Harvest Necklace by GemsCrystalsAndWire

My Golden Harvest Necklace starts with a spiral row using browns, copper, and crystal glass beads. It has 2 more rows attached, one made using deep copper color twisted bugle beads separated with small non-tarnish copper beads. Teh next row is deep rich brown bicone beads, golden glass pearls and more copper beads.

All three strands are joined together with an antique gold cones and finsished with an antiqued gold twisted toggle.

This necklace hangs at 21 inches in length and is perfect for the upcoming fall holiday season with it's rich warming colors.

Arizona Fall Memory Bracelet by abeadbooby

Clay, crystal and cloisonne are all represented in this gorgeous memory wire bracelet.

Purples, golds and brown colors contrast nicely against any color material and it is a perfect one of a kind conversation piece.

Memory wire conforms to the wearer's wrist and one size can fit most allowing a layer of beads at the bottom of your wrist for a sophisticated look.

OutREDgeous by Bearswillow

Call the Fire Department cuz this one's BLAZING!

Red hot chili pepper red! Firecracker red! Red hot mama red! This bracelet has it all!

Hand stitched with several thousand Miyuki seed beads in 6 shades of red and accented with Czech fire polished crystals in fire red, deep black red, irridescent red and sparkly clear, red and silver glass pearls, and deep burgundy glass beads. Just under 9" in length and finished with a southwestern style pewter toggle clasp.

Give Thanks Falling Leaves Thanksgiving Card by Laurascrafts

Falling leaves make up the main image block on this hand made Thanksgiving card. The leaves were hand stamped each one individually and layered over cardstock. The sentiment is hand stamped and layered with mounting tape for dimension.

The inside of the card has been left blank for your own special words.

Autumn multi gemstone bracelet on gold by SunshineDaydreamz

Beautiful Fall colored gemstones on this chain link bracelet! Dark green jasper, orange carnelian, yellow aragonite and pale green tree agate wire wrapped with gold plated art wire. A real eye catching piece of jewelry!

RED HOT MAMA Hand Knit Lacy Shawl by knitme1

Handmade Old-Fashioned Toy Teddy Bear by iKnitQuiltSew

Here's a toy that runs on a child's imagination, with no batteries required!

This is a fully jointed handmade teddy bear. It is made from polyester faux fur, which is very soft. The arms and legs move and are jointed using the string-and-button method (all internal). He has safety stay plastic eyes and a hand embroidery nose. His fleece scarf is removable if his new best friend is under three years old. This bear does have my tag, and meets all of the US Government regulations for being child-safe.

Passion's Picks - Nothing but Flowers

2010-09-05T20:12:00.000-05:00

Congratulations to DesigningImpressions who won last week's Passion's Picks - Paint the Town Red!

Dogwood Painted Pendand and Beaded Necklace by mommysdream

Blue skies and the first green leaves that appear on the trees in the spring were the inspiration for this 18 1/2 inch necklace.

I painted a branch with dogwood flowers on a piece of teal cardstock then sealed it to this glass pendant (made in USA). The pendant, including the silver plated bail is 1 1/4 x 1 x 3/16 inch (30 x 25 x 5 mm).

The glass beads that create the necklace include light green and soft blue seed beads as well as 1/8" (3 mm) ocean blue beads. The necklace is strung on #19 Beadalon stringing wire and finished with a silver tone lobster clasp.

Dragonfly in a Golden Pearl Garden necklace by WillOaksStudio

Lustrous with a golden brass colored glow, glossy pearls topped with blue-green faceted apatite rondelles are scattered along dark knotted linen. The gathering of pearls is linked to a dark sterling chain with a delicate embossed brass dragonfly on one side, and a carved leaf of cool green adventurine on the other.

The cascading trio of strands are tightly bound to these garden inspired links with dark oxidized sterling silver wire. The links connect the dark strands of Irish linen to oxidized sterling silver chain. The chain terminates with links of golden pearls and apatite to attach a sterling lobster claw and extension chain, both oxidized, to close this unique necklace.

Pink Pale Flower Hair Bow/Clip with Covered Button Center by dianewdesigns

Many Moms tell me this type of hair bow is their daughter's favorite! That makes me smile! It's just over 2 1/4 inches wide and long. Pale Pink ribbon flower bow with a green ribbon stem and an orange gingham covered button in the center. No slip grip keeps bow securely in place. These would make great party favors.

Made with cotton fabrics that feature bright, bold flowers in animal prints, it looks good enough to eat! Buttony flower embellishment on the top of cupcake is made with felt and a cute pink button is sewn to the middle of the flower.

Purple flower "jewels" embellish the icing along with pink ric-rac. Cream ric-rack embellishes the bottom of the cupcake.

Stiff interfacing is used to make cupcake stiff so it will not sag when hung. Brown felt is used as a backing. Cupcake hangs with a small plastic ring that has been securely sewn onto the back.

These earrings are another pair in my US $10.00 line of Stering Silver Darlings.

Passion's Picks - Paint the Town Red

2010-08-29T20:53:00.000-05:00

Wild Thing Black Glass and Red Coral on Leather bracelet by WillOaksStudio

When I was a kid, my grandpa brought me a model bird kit to assemble and paint a full size scarlet tanager. That is my earliest recollection of a love affair with red and black (and birds.) My "Wild Thing" bracelet is an homage to the bird and the color scheme...and a bit more: bright red dyed coral disks are mixed up with very unusual cubes of millefiori glass that is mostly opaque black with small bright flower bits here and there. This approach to bead making, when used here as cubes, gives interesting cross sections and side views of the thousand flower constructions besides the frontal views of petite blossoms.

Knit Scarf - Red Suede by madeformebyoaklie

Rich Red suede look in this classic knit scarf! Very elegant and very soft! Great for any occassion. Jazz up your wardrobe with this Red beauty! Finished with matching fringe scarf measures appx 68" x 4"

Meet Gail Handmade Rag Doll Ready To Be Loved by iKnitQuiltSew

Gail is a handmade rag doll ready to be a child's new best friend! She would also be a great 'get well' companion to a new friend of any age!

Her shoes are gray felt. Her hair is black acrylic yarn, each strand individually tied and knotted, and can be worn up or down. Her dress closes in the back with velcro. The sash on her dress is sewn to the dress in the front. Her face is hand-embroidered. Gail is wearing white pantaloons under her dress (not shown).

Gail needs a friend who is beyond the chew-on-everything stage. She's not particularly fragile, but she does need to be loved.

Love Bugs Letter/Number Magnet Basket by LilBitSassy

This little fabric basket is the perfect place to store those number/letter magnets that little ones love to play with. Simply hang basket onto a magnet (or suction cup)hook by the loops on the back. You can hang it anywhere you'd like! It will also stand on it's own so you can put it on a shelf or dresser to hold small items or toys.

These would also be great for the bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom. I can make these in any fabric of your choosing, so they are also a great item for Mom too :)

Baby Quilt or Wall-Hanging Machine Appliqued and Hand Quilted by iKnitQuiltSew

I've named this quilt "Welcome Home." It's cheerful tone would welcome anyone! The quilt is complete with hand-embroidered details - the smiling face on the sun, the swing in the tree, the latch on the front door, the lines in the stairs. The applique was done by machine, then the quilt was completely quilted by hand to bring up the contours and add emphasis to the entire theme. Lots of thought and many hours went into this 31" by 34" quilt! The quilt is signed.

The quilt is made of poly/cotton blend fabrics with lo-loft polyester quilt batting. All of the fabrics were pre-washed and the entire quilt has been washed since completion using delicate/cool settings in both the washer and dryer. Because of its easy care, this would be a great traveling quilt for your little one - just the right size to cover a car seat!

I am going to make another to sell. So grab it while it's hot and let me know what color you would like! :)
