Life is a Zoo!

Hello! Today I was feeling a bit wild. I focused on stretch cord bracelets and had fun with an animal print theme.
This bracelet reminds me of a leopard with the spots on the smaller wood beads. I made a blue wire spiral as the focal point.
 I am sure this pink and black zebra bracelet will not last very long at the sale!
 The markings on these beads also remind me of a zebra's stripes. I partnered it with burgandy and silver glass beads for a slightly more elegant feel.
 Never judge a cheetah by it's spots. I like the neutral browns of this one.
 And another fun cheetah styled bracelet. This time partnered with bright and creamy oranges.
 I know the ladies will go wild for these at the sale!
It's just around the corner now.

Till then...

wire wrapped earrings and pendants

Hello! Today there was no stopping these creative juices from flowing!
My head hurts! My eyes hurt! And my fingers hurt!
But I am so pleased with today's projects. I stuck to wire wrapping and made some earrings and pendants.










 I had a lot of fun designing these. I want to make more tomorrow... if I'm not still hurting.
Till then...

Fun in wire wrapping

Hello! Today I made a few wire wrapped things that I would like to share with you.

I had bought these beautiful aluminum flowers a while back. I made this pretty pink rose wire wrapped ring
 Using my Wubbers, I created these asymetrical wire wrapped beaded earrings. I love the icy blue beads!
 These flower pot earrings are some of my favorite to make using seed beads. You can change it up with so many different colors and different beads for the flower pot.
 And in the spirit of Valentine's Day being around the corner, I made thse dainty crimson heart wire wrapped earrings.
Today is one of my day's off from cooking meals for the family but I wanted to make a sauce to compliment the tilapia fillets that were being cooked up for dinner.
I am terrible at writing down recipes and am trying to remember exactly what went into the sauce. But it was very tasty and went so well with the fish!

Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds...
till then

Manly rings

The other night I saw "Making Monsters" for the first time. It was the episode where they had an order for aliens and a UFO for the Roswell Museum. It was so amazing to see the artist sculpting on a bigger scale and using some of the same tools and products as myself. I was so inspired!

I have a friend who likes all things sci-fi. I decided to take a stab at my own little alien. I made a ring I know he would still feel "manly" wearing.
He also likes Day of the Dead themes so I made this Dia de Los Muertos skull ring. I love the way the ruby red eyes pop!
 Best part is it glows in the dark!


He was suprised and did like both rings.
I am always on the lookout for new challenges and new sources of inspiration!

Let's see what inspires me next...

until then,
Chaz

my first love! wire wrapped rings

Hello again!
I started making wire wrapped rings when I first began my journey into jewelry. I was amazed at my ability to manipulate wire and add beautiful glass beads to create these fun rings.

I began playing with different wire gauges and colors as well as adding seed beads. I have a blast making these and hope you enjoy the few I will showcase in this post.

This is my starburst heart
 I enjoy the green on green in this emerald bead ring
 Look in to the glass bead... do you see the koi fish?
 This style ring is my "nest". I used red wire with a glass bead that is blue on one side and red on the other. You can roll the bead to suit your mood and outfit.
 This nest ring has a gorgeous pink crackle glass bead. It is so nice when it catches the light.
 when i look at this ring I think of a meteorite falling from the sky and catching all the beautiful colors as it burns.
 And here's a shot focusing on the bead.
 I call this style the spiral ring. It takes a flat glass bead to showcase the wire spiral.
 I used a wood bead resting on a thin silver disk when designing this spiral.
 I love how this crackle bead looks electrified
 This was the first ring i made using copper wire and I am more than pleased with how it came together so nicely with this tiger striped bead.
 This bead is double sided blue and silver. Again you can turn it to match your mood and outfit.
 I love the way the purple center on the blue seed beads pops in this ring.
 Yeehaw! This is my cowgirl ring with a dainty pink seed bead.
 I  made this while searching for the best way to make an adjustable ring.
 This blue on blue spiral can be hypnotizing.
 The bead on this nest ring is silver with one leopard spot.
 This pink on pink spiral ring is such a rose!
 I fell in to a burning ring of fire.
 I used 3 seed beads on each side of this one. I like the bubbles in the center bead.
 And last but not least, this ring is a bit of a monster. I designed it for my niece based on a skirt she had made of the same color diagonal stripes


I am always on the look out for fun and different beads to use as my focal points. I love each and every one.

Until next time...
