Rings, Rings, and more Rings also a necklace.
So lately you could say I’ve been neglecting my blogging duty. Mostly because I have….for like, half a month. However with good reason, I have been beading happy… not just like normal oh cool lets make one thing. We are talking SyI happi happi happi off of duck dynasty.
Now not that I have really written much about myself, but I’m the tomboy of the family, I know sounds like a joke I make really girly jewelry and yet I don’t do dress up. I’m not even a makeup wearer. So its not much of a surprise that I very rarely make jewelry for myself, or even wear the few pieces that I have made in the past. This is about to change. At least I finally made a necklace that I both love, and fits my style…Amazing right? Take a gander!

unfinished but its done now. pictures of it finished to come soon
Anyways rings…. So I have ignored learning herringbone stitch (like most stitches) until I want to make something that doesn’t seem to work out in any of the other stitches I know Herringbone I have found that I love. It is a super versatile stitch that can do pretty much anything. The reason being is that you can insert bridges pretty much anyplace. And put pretty much anything in a bridge… I know crazy pants kinda stuff right.

Okay so I am going to cut this post kinda short because now that its been sitting on my laptop screen for over a week I’ve lost its steam…and moved on.. I have Add when it comes to beads. But the great news is even though this post, let’s face it, sorta sucks other than the prettys.  I have the pictures for my first tutorial and as soon as I remember to grab my digital camera cord or by a sd card (probably easier considering my laptop has a card slot) By the way, I bought a new camera (slightly used) just for yall because well I’m a little accident prone when it comes to my phone (cats water dish, left on top of my car outside in a rain storm, several droppings on various hard surfaces) and it still works, but it takes these really, really bad photos (see necklace photo above)  the great crystal ones are from a borrowed phone but that was a short term solution so i am now settling into my new Olympus 14 megapixel point and shoot. I love it… Mostly because I had a 8 mega pixel exactly like it before, but ya know whatever works.
