Just Vonna

They say I have an eye for color, they say I have become an "Artist" - They say don't give up, they say I speak a different language. I say it's possible, I say "No Way", I say never give up, keep learning - give yourself a little push now and then - make a pair of earrings!

I blame this addiction for the most part on her and of course all the others that I have come to know.

So you see me here, showcasing my designs, hopefully for you to enjoy.

Designing outside the box is how I like create. I enjoy what I do, I find my self getting lost in my designs and always late for an appointment.

All Day Affair ~

Designing a piece of wearable art usually comes easy for me, the idea & inspiration comes from the bead itself for me ~ This one you see ~ I believe I ripped it apart several times the other day ~ took way too many pictures ~ and am still not truly pleased with the results ~ I shall just let it be for now ~ ( as you can see it has changed a bit )
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Bracelet's ~ I'm Stuck ~

Why is it that I am so stuck on bracelet design?

Cricket

Did you ever win a set of beads go straight to your design table and start creating?
I was so excited to get these beads - they remind me of the desert - I lived in the desert of Arizona for 7 years - a suburban by nature - my apartment was full of all these bugs - ick ~

I gingerly snatched on up and to it to the local pest control guy - I thought they were cockroaches - nope - brown crickets - the manager shrugged and just said ~ "More Transplants from the East!"

- Since Anne Ricketts made the awesome beads ~ the name was a perfect match ~

Have a great Sunday ~ Vonna

I am Self Composed

It's like doing a dance for me when I create a bracelet with different twist. I have full control of my jewelry inventory. Although there are times when I need that tiny little bead, that perfect element to finish off the design. The self composed, scratch that - call me preoccupied until I find it. Stay out of my way until I find that bead!
Did I tell you Serena made these beads!

I found my glasses~

They were on top of my head ~ so I decided to make this Bali Sterling Silver, Triple Strand Seedbead & Lampwork Bracelet. It was that easy..
(3 images)

Instinct~

I design by feel & instinct~ normal guidelines in magazines and or books for our medium I just cannot follow.

My inspiration comes from my soul; the instinct I have to realize what really looks right in design through my own eyes.

Creativity not only heals me, it really makes me happy.

It's a double ~

I love oyster's ~ raw oyster's, lemon juice, horseradish sauce, slurp, down the hatch ~ but when you happen to eat that nasty gritty one, somebody didn't rinse it good enough so your eating the sand ~ I am sure glad it isn't a glass rod.

Oh, I am so off track here, these are Czech Pearls, with ornate Bali sterling silver, and raku handcrafted rounds.

Sorry, it's dinner ~ was getting hungry..

Thanks for stopping in.

Katie's Garden

I have to tell you, I had quite the giggle the other day when I came across this quote on the internet~

"A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill
except for learning how to grow in rows."
- Doug Larson

~Surviving each day is a lot harder than making a bracelet~ I am still learning & I am still reading!

Lampwork Sculptural Floral Bead created by Barb Svetlik, handmade Lampwork glass beads created by Deb Cline ~ (& a couple of my beads too!)

Have a great day ~

Lampwork & Artisan Inlay Beads

Tribal Fushion

The Focal Mask Bead has been starring at me for almost a year - spooky huh!
In the middle of the night I heard this strange noise on my night stand ~ it was the mask bead doing a bellydance!
The next day - I whipped up this bracelet - **okay took me three days** - but I can't handle beads dancing on my night stand in the middle of the night. Thanks for stopping by..

Watermelon

A Watermelon is a large seedy mouth watering fruit, green on the inside and red on the outside or did I get that wrong - well which ever way you slice it - this bracelet has a high content of lampwork beads. Seed-beads, many mini hidden treasures, & is truly smoothy against your wrist. I was drooling just creating it. Great beads make great bracelets!

Big Beaded Multi Strand Necklaces

I used to be a picker ~ What is a picker ~ a junker ~ a dumpster diver ~ a pack rat ~ seriously ~ Antiquing, looking for that broken piece to incorporate into one of my designs, or finding a real gem. It catches your eye and the seller is unsuspecting that the piece has rare vintage swarovski crystals by the clasp. Don't pass up the jewelry table at an Estate Sale, you may just find a piece of old rare art!
(2 images)

Brights

Brights to lighten up your day ~ lampwork beads purchased from a glass bead artisan whose receipt I lost - so I can't tell you who made the beads. So whoever you are and you happen to stop by and have a look see - please drop me a line so I can say thank you again, as these beads were so easy to incorporate in to this bracelet you see here.

My Heart

The Heart on this bracelet is all mine, someone handcrafted it for me as an ROAK!

Never have I ever made a bracelet to fit me the first try!
