BEADS LEATHER AND BED OH MY

Hi Everyone!

I hope today is as good for you as it is for me.  Yes I am up! no more bed for me. Enough is enough. I am feeling myself again. Every Time I have a bad hit from lupus and come out of it, I am fully charged with energy and for the victory of winning another battle with it. Soooo even though I am full of life today I will take it easy and do just enough to make me happy. I am teaching a class tomorrow. I was afraid I would have to cancel it. We will have to see what the morning brings.

OK.. you remember some of my leather work right? Ahhh come on, here are a few photos to shake that memory.




While I was in bed I decided to take the leather to the jewelry. I have done this before but I wanted to spice it up a bit. Now if you don't work with leather you should know that leather is worked... wet... not really good for the sheets!!!  LOL but here is what I came up with.
And you know I had to play with my hotfix tool and crystals form Artbeads.com

I would have beaded a strap but this was easier to do in bed.
 

 Nothing like leather, chain, and crystals.

 You know me the back has to be as pretty as the front.
Have a great day.... I sure am!

Great work Nicole. Glad you are feeling better. I wonder, where did you get the plastic face? I've been wanting to order one with the neck so that I can put my pendants on. Just curious. Have a great week.

You just keep raising the bar--that leather jewelry piece is amazing. Such a beautiful blue!

Having a great day here too!

Glad you are feeling well enough to start working on new projects. You know, I'm going to have to get myself one of those hot fix. I still have Christmas money from Artbeads, so maybe I'll just break down & get one.
