Karon's lampwork bracelets

These two bracelets are a first time attempt by

my friend Karon who lives "up the way" from me.

She chose the handmade lampwork beads from my daughters' Etsy site (http://www.dragynsfyre.etsy.com/) The beads were made in her SunRiver, OR lampwork studio using colored Italian Marretti Glass rods)

according to what she felt her daughter and a friend from CA would choose and then we designed the bracelets to match their personalities. Karon learned how to build the bracelet to fit, when to use a spacer or a beadcap and many other tibits of jewelry making. We used Swarowski crystals, pearls, Tierra Cast clasps, spacers, etc. made right here in the USA that are top of the line in quality.

I think she did a great job and when she was done she had a beautiful "piece of art".

It is so much fun to get together with friends and work on projects. You chat, solve the worlds' problems, laugh a lot and just have a wonderful fun filled few hours of sharing with another. individual. It doesn't get much better than this.

NOTE: If you click on the bracelet pictures they will enlarge and you can see them much better.
