The necklace is my favorite piece in the collection I think it's beautiful if I do say so myself. All of the pieces in this post can be found split between my 2 online gift shops.

Gingerbell's: December 2009

http://gingerbellsgifts.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 11, 2009. Polymer clay and seed beads. I think polymer clay and seed beads are a match made in heaven. They play so nicely together. I love good gemstone cabochons but they are so expensive and really drive up the price of the pieces I make. The cabochons in the hair pins are gemstones and were expensive so I will have to sell them at a higher price point then I would like. Had I made them with polymer clay I could knock about $10 off the retail price. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ ...

Gingerbell's: April 2010

http://gingerbellsgifts.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 19, 2010. How to make a cuff bracelet part 2. So I finished doing all the stitching on the front of the bracelet and I think it looks cute so far now it's time to put it all together. I sandwiched the front ,brass cuff form and suede backing together then I stitched them all together with a picot edging stitch. So here is a top view of finished cuff. Close up side view. Over all I am happy with the end result of course like any other "artist" I see lots of thing I would do differently.

Gingerbell's: January 2010

http://gingerbellsgifts.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 24, 2010. What is bead embroidery? I am often asked act craft shows how I make my jewelry and I try to break it down to a simple general example. So I thought it would be fun to do on my blog too except it is more fun on the blog because I can use photos. In today's blog I am going to talk about my favorite beading technique.bead embroidery. When all the base patterned beading is done I trim away all the extra interfacing and glue it to a piece of ultra suede backing hiding all the stitch...

Gingerbell's: Changes

http://gingerbellsgifts.blogspot.com/2010/09/changes.html

Tuesday, September 28, 2010. As usual I have been very busy making pretty things. But there have also been some changes going on at Gingerbell's. White Rose and Violets bracelet. One change I have made is that after much thinking and weighing my options I have closed both of my Etsy shops. They were beginning to cost me more time and money then I was willing to invest for the return I was getting. Well it's back to the work table for me. Yeah the 1km closing was a bit of a surprise. I agree with you Elai...
