Pixie Snowflake The first of the new captures is called Pixie Snowflake.  It features a Swarovski Crystal Rivoli in Sapphire.  It is a gorgeous design from Dawdling Dragons.  This one is the pendant size, but it can also be made in earring size.   The second is called Crystal Cascade. This one, in particular, is made with rainbow hematite beads and a Swarovski Crystal Rivoli in the color called Vitrail Medium.  It is a stunning piece and, while a little big for any pendant I personally would wear, it is an amazing statement piece or even an ornament if you choose. Crystal Cascade Pendant The next is a collection of captures done in aluminum and rubber and connected with Byzantine units to support the weight and give the piece some stability.  It is the Galaxy Necklace and features Swarovski Crystal Rivolis in Emerald.

I haven't been too great at remembering to update the blog, but I do have another collection of new pretties to share! First off, a tiny fidget toy!!! It's super cute and actually fits inside the bigger one! :D  Fidgets!  Second, a lovely pendant in aluminum, rubber, and rainbow hematite.  It's called the Compass Pendant. Compass Pendant Infinity Cradle Bracelet Closeup This third piece is called Infinity Cradle. It is a twist on the European 4 in 1 weave with beads!  I actually had enough pieces left over from the bracelet to make matching earrings and a simple necklace.  Colors would be very versatile in this piece and the type of bead used can change the whole look.  Infinity Cradle full set  The next piece is another European 4 in 1 style cuff bracelet.  It's called the Ruffles Cuff.  Ruffles Cuff Closeup Ruffles Cuff Glass Butterfly Earrings  Following the lovely Ruffles Cuff, we have ...

I have gotten many kits from Weave Got Maille that are the Inspiral Pattern.  They are simple, but gorgeous and very versatile too!

Two new beaded pieces were also created in the last few weeks.  One, a simple but beautiful bracelet and choker set and another with captive glass donut beads centered in some Byzantine work. They are The Beaded Wave Bracelet and Choker with gorgeous beads that pictures can do no justice.  I did try to get a closeup to show the true colors of these beads, but I still don't feel like you get a really, truly good idea of what they look like.  Beaded wave Bracelet and Choker in Bright Aluminum Closeup attempt to show beads The next piece is the Rainbow Bridge Bracelet from Hyperlynks.  It is a beautiful bracelet that really lets the beads take center stage to provide color to the piece.  Rainbow Bridge Bracelet in Bright Aluminum Rings and Kits for all pieces completed are from  Metal Designz and HyperLynks. 

I have also been working with tiny rings to make some more petite bracelets.  One is a spiky version of the normal Byzantine bracelet and the other two are captured crystals.  These are very cute and very dainty.  I'm including pictures of the Byzantine next to a "normal-sized" Byzantine...normal being the size I usually make :)  There are also comparison pictures next to Sharpie markers to really get an idea of how small these are :D The Petite Spiky Byzantine can also be made with the points going in alternating directions.  I got this kit from Unkamen Supplies, which made a truly lovely little bracelet.

Hi! Been a little busy lately creating things and forgetting to update the blog. I bought a tutorial a while back to learn Triton Sunflowers.  They can be pendants, earrings, ornaments, almost anything you'd want them to be.  There are 7 different sizes so far and I have made them all! I got the tutorial from a lovely lady named  Snježna Nakit who was very helpful in providing the tutorial and a kit with all the ring sizes and so much information.  Here are the pictures of these beauties.  There is one picture of all of them in one with the sizes marked and two pictures of each piece front and back since they look different on each side.  All Triton Sunflowers!
