What's on the bead board

I'm working on a custom leather order right now.  I'm about half done with the studwork.  There are going to be almost 700 studs on this gauntlet when I'm finished.  It's quite the project, but I think my client will like it.

I'm also working on a second beaded tin.  Here is the progress I've made on the embroidered top.  Okay, I've gotten a little bit more work done since I snapped this photo, but not that much more.  I'm having a lot of fun working on these.

 
And last but not least, I'm working on a custom rainbow triangle necklace.  I'm excited for the colors my client has chose.  I'm hoping to have this finished by the end of the week.  I'll get some photos posted as soon as I can.  

What's New?!?

So much chaos; a mess of a bead board.

So I've been busy, busy, busy.  I just seems like I can't wait for spring, but once it rolls around I'm on the go constantly.  But that's okay with me. :-)

I have said before that I'm finishing up getting ready for show season; I still have those pesky table cloths to make.  But I have been feeling extremely creative too, even if it feels like I don't have time to sit and think for long.  So I thought I'd share what's currently on my bead board with everyone.

And here it is.  I know it's a mess right now.  I have a bunch of projects that I'm working on all at once (and the one's you can see aren't even all of them). 

I'm making a few more triangle earrings for my "Go Team" line.  But I'm also make a few new triangles to go with the fantastic copper earwires I just got.  I just love making those little guys.

I'm also finishing up a small bracelet to match a wonderful "jumble" necklace I just finished; you can see both in this picture.  They're a wonderful combination of silver lined gold and red, so rich and luxurious.

I also finished up my summer project for ArtBeads, I just need to get pictures taken.  It's a fun bead embroidered cuff.  I'm also finishing up a smaller bead embroidered cuff that just needs to be stitched to the leather.     

Like I said, I've been busy.  I have less then a month to get ready for my first show, so I better get my butt in gear.  No more pretty beads for a while, and lots more sewing :( 

What's on the ol' bead board?

Here's what's on my bead board right now. I'm working on a line of guitar cuffs. I would like to do a number of iconic guitar shapes.

I'm also working on making the background a little bit more exciting. The green cuff I did sort of a spiral look using the same bright green color but one is transparent and one is opaque. I really love this look.

The second guitar is super bright. I'm using a bright yellow and a deeper yellow for the background and then a bright blue for the guitar. I'm really in love with this one.

I have one more guitar shape that I'm working on and then I have a few more ideas for future guitar cuffs. I'll get some pictures of those up as soon as I finish beading them.
