Bracelets, bracelets, bracelets!!!  This month seems to be the month that I am posting bracelets, as taught by Dale Armstrong.   These are done in sterling and 14k gold filled.  I also take custom orders for these with different stones.  I sold my first 10mm stone bracelet recently on +etsy.com.  It was a flourite bracelet.  I made one for myself two years ago with 6mm flourite beads with argentium wire.  I notice that argentium allows no mistakes.  It tends to demand perfection when doing wire bending with it. 

What should be next on +etsy.com for Tabby's Intuition?  More bracelets, or more different kinds of bracelets?  Necklaces?  Perhaps anklets?  

Right now, I am loving these faceted stones, like the 8mm faceted cape amethyst stones above. 

I ordered two greenish druzy free form cabachons.  Maybe that should appear next as a pendant?

More Later,

Almost the end of the month already!  Here are two more Kauai made items that are dedicated to The Vampire Diaries on the CW.  I made these pieces before the January return of the show.  Both of these sterling and pearl pieces are Stephan pieces.  The blood red cubic zirconia earrings, which I call Freedom from Blood, would be something that Stephan would give to Elena.  In the episode from last week, the character of Stephan wants to find the cure for Elena's vampirism, so he can know her true feelings for his brother, Damon.  It turns out that Damon wants the cure for Elena too, and perhaps for the same reason.  But then she won't be immortal like him, and that will cause new problems.  Could Damon's love for Elena be so unconditional that he would risk everything for it?  Even if it meant that he would receive nothing but pain in return?

Which will be better?  Eternal love that is possibly due to the sire bond, or true mortal love that has a limit on its time?  

Here is the necklace I said that I would post if I made it with this very comfortable chain that you can hardly tell that it's on your neck.  This sterling chain is very comfortable!  I "road tested" it this weekend, and it was comfortable indeed.  This necklace went to a Lincoln Center trio concert, which was excellent.  It soaked up some good musical vibrations.  I call this necklace My Tears Will Free You.  The tears, of course, are Stephan's.

More sooner than later,
Susan
