Thread

I LOVE this cord and thread called C-LON. It comes in many shade variations and saturated colors...the size D and AAA are perfect for bead weaving. The thicker cord (pictured) is great for use with bigger beads. I get mine from Caravan Beads...a great company...kind service, great stock, and great prices.

And some new rings on Etsy made with ribbons tied into bows.

MACRO!

Some macro photos taken with Nikon D300 and macro lens, extension tube, and hand held reverse lens...different combos for different results. These aren't very good...they are just a learning exercise. Very hard to get good sharp focus when using a reverse lens, but it gets SO close up! Macro photos are of these two pods...

Just Added on Etsy

I've been having fun creating jewelry from laminated paper images and shapes. These earrings are flower shaped die cuts of Kaffe Fassett fabric which I scanned, digitally enhanced, and printed on photo quality paper. The chain and earwire are oxidized sterling silver.

A Flower Necklace and Butterfly Earrings too....
