I have another little belated Christmas present ready to give at our family New Year's celebration. This one is also for a neice but one a bit older who just LOVES glitz and flash. It's a jewelry set I made of a bracelet with a pair of earrings:
I used that mesh stuff again and I think I'm really getting hooked on it; I've thought of so many uses for it already!!! Of course I've been asked where I found it, and I got it at a local fabric store in my neighborhood. It must commonly be used for weddings because that's the section I found it in. They had swatches of assorted colors but the only ones they had available were silver and gold -- the store clerk did say they were expecting more but didn't know when it'd be in. Well, I saw the swatch for purple and it was gorgeous -- knew I had to have that color, so I sent searching the internet. Well I found quite a bit of this mesh but much more expensive -- some was even as high as $25 a yard! I got it at the fabric store with 5 yards to a spool at $6.99; on the internet you'd be ordering it at the lowest for about $5 for only 1 yard -- so check out the wedding/bridal sections in your fabric stores -- much better deal!!! Sadly, I'll just be waiting to get that purple... lol!!!
Well, I hope everyone's great and having a wonderful time. It's been so great being able to visit with you and, of course, I'll be back! If I haven't gotten to anyone yet, I'm still working at it!!!
Still have several more gifts to make so I'm off, but...
Hugs, and I'll be seeing you in a bit!

Oh I know she is going to love this set, how beautiful.
I am loving that mesh also and will have to do a search in my local Joann's maybe. I see all the colors but yes a little pricey.
Glad your doing alright and getting ready for a new 2012
A big Hug my friend

You always make the most beautiful jewelry. I think you need to come up with your own designer line. I think you would be a huge success. You have such a creative way of looking at things which makes them such unique pieces. Hugs! Curt
Happy new year to you too! Beautiful bracelet, I hope to get my craft mojo back since being busy the month of December
