Cat Lover's Bracelet - original design
























This bracelet was made for a co-workers birthday gift, as you would guess she loves cats. I found these Czech glass beads - cat heads and amber colored fish at the Houston Bead Society's - Annual Bead & Jewelry Show held mid November. The show was spectacular... so much to see.

The Latest Creative Adventure - BEADING

This is a photo of my first beading creation. The beads in this bracelet and earring set are Czech glass beads. I find myself really attracted to the Czech glass, for their beauty, sparkle & shine. There price is a bit more economical for me in the beginning stages of this new hobby. I stumbled upon a quaint little bead store in old town Katy in mid October of this year and 'wa-la' it seems I'm hooked. The shop owner, was so gracious to show me some basics and answers many of my questions.
