Haven't blogged for a week. I've been trying to spend more time creating and less time on the computer. I'm afraid I've become a bit of an internet junkie. Etsy is very addictive and I love reading the blogs from other EBW members, posting in the forums and going on chat. Sometimes, I'm even moved to post a comment, although I'm still kind of shy about that.
My hard work all week paid off though. I finished a watch and a necklace, both of which I've gotten listed on Etsy. I've been wanting to try watch bands for the longest time and not too long ago I bought a lot of watch faces from BeadingUSA on Etsy. It was an assortment with some really pretty styles. My first one turned out so well, I'm really excited about working up the rest. Yesterday I finished my second. It's not as intricate as the first; a simple weave, but I'm just as happy with the result. Eight more to go! I'm having so much fun with these, I'll probably end up buying another lot.
The necklace I just listed this weekend I'm extremely pleased with. I think it's one of the prettier pieces I've done. It started out to be a bracelet, but then I realized I was going to run out of the cats eye beads I was using for the biggest bead in a cellini spiral so I thought, why not use it as a focal piece on a necklace instead. In the middle of it, I had to run to the store for needles and of course one simply cannot go into a store or aisle with beads and not browse just a little (translated: spends at least an hour looking). During my browsing, what did I find but the perfect faceted glass beads to compliment my spiral section! Gee, I'm glad I needed needles!

I am so impressed with your latest creations! That necklace is such a COMPOSITION! Every detail works perfectly with every other detail! And those watchbands are great! Beautiful and unique, I'm sure someone will love to wear each of them. I've always wanted to try to make watch bands but I've never been able to figure out where to get the faces :-)
They are really beautiful, Debra. Wish you had put a hyperlink for BeadingUSA but I will find it. Like I need any more beading supplies. LOL I think I have 2 or 3 watch faces running around here somewhere that I need to work up.....if I can find them, that is. Beautiful work, Debra. Love the necklace and watches.
