"4th of July" Bracelets!

Here is all the red, white and blue I can squeeze out of my

creative and (love muted colors) soul!..

I tried to make them traditional but a little big fun & funky.


I'm not a real "themed" person but I had to do a little something for the 4th!


I'd just rather sit down at my bead table not knowing what will unfold..seeing what is created is so exciting!


I think I am going to TRY to give necklaces a rest (for now)..maybe...


I would like add some bracelets to my jewelry cabinet... They are kind of difficult ..I struggle with trying to make them fit everyone..


So...just a quick survey...


What size do you wear?...



Do you like them snug or dangly?



Toggles or Adjustable Clasps? (lobster, spring or hook)
Stretchy?



Please drop me a comment at the bottom of this post and let me know so I can make what suits your needs!


Thanks!






"USA Bling" $13

A Toggle and coordinating flag finish off this bright and flashy bracelet!








"Flip Flop Pride" $12

Tri corner red firepolished beads with royal blue rondell beads. They are clear and colorful.
A sparkling flip flop dangles from the bold clasp.








"Stars & Stripes" $20 SOLD!




"Red, Blue & Silver" $25 sale $20


This bracelet features and Bali Silver "Star"fish and a Sterling Silver figure 8 clasp.





"USA" $12

Unique Toggle with lots of cute charms (click on to enlarge) Beads are bright and bold!




"Lady Liberty" $10


Do you love Christmas but you don't decorate with Green & Red?...

Ever wear black on Valentines Day?...

Don't want to be predictable on the 4th?

Well... then you may appreciate my interpretation of a "4th of July" bracelet!...

To me I see this copper and green as the patina on Lady Liberty!


But then again...I think I would be a bigger fan if the Buckeyes had different colors...

sorry that's just me!


All bracelets are around 7-8" but can be custom sized!

New Old Stuff

No, I didn't make all these last night!... I thought I would show off some of my past work.
Some of you may even have these in your jewelry box!

Truth is, I didn't have a chance to make anything new..my day job is really getting in my way!

But..I have several necklaces laid out on my bead board waiting to be strung, so that is my plan for today!

You may want to check in later...you never know.

But I wanted to have something new for those of you that look at my blog everyday..I know I have some favorite blogs...just me and my coffee every morning I look forward to it...I hope you do too!
