Hand-Made Jewelry
Hand-Made Jewelry
<h1>MMC~FBC</h1> <br> <br> My foray into jewelry making started with necklaces. It was difficult to find the kind of necklaces I liked that fit my eclectic tastes. More often than not, I would find several that had different elements I fancied. I would purchase as many as possible then alter them to suit me. <br> <br><font size="+1">Please click on an image to see the full size picture.</font> <br><font size="-1" color="#ff0000">Note: images shown on this site are meant to show an example of my work, and not necessarily what I may have on hand, please email me for more details. Thank you!</font> <br> <table border="+2"> <tr> <td><a href="008a.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="008a.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href=008.html target="new_window"><img src="008.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="009a.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="009a.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="010a.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="010a.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="010b.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="010b.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="011b.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="011b.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="009.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="009.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td></tr> </table> <br> <br> The rosaries came about when a friend asked if I could make one for him. He had seen several of my necklaces and wondered if I had ever made rosaries. So I looked up the necessary elements, gathered what I needed and, voila, a new creative outlet for me was born. <br> <br> <table border="+2"> <tr> <td><a href="rose1.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose1.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="rose2.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose2.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="rose3.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose3.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="rose4.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose4.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="rose5.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose5.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="rose6.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose6.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="rose7.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="rose7.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td></tr> </table> <br> <br> As for making earrings, well, that just seemed the natural progression from necklaces. Of course having several co-workers ask if I had earrings to match some necklaces helped too. <br> <br> <table border="+2"> <tr> <td><a href="ear1.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="ear1.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="ear2.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="ear2.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="ear3.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="ear3.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="ear4.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="ear4.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="ear5.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="ear5.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="eara.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="eara.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> </table> <br> <br> A co-worker asked me to fix a bracelet she purchased that had come un-strung. While I was re-stringing it, I realized how easy the task was. With this in mind I began assembling bracelets of my own design. <br> <br> <table border=+2"> <tr><td><a href="brac1.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="brac1.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="brac2.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="brac2.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> <td><a href="brac3.jpg" target="new_window"><img src="brac3.jpg" width=100 height=100></a></td> </tr> </table> <br> <br> As well as the traditional style <a href="p2.html">rosaries</a>, I also make <a href="p2.html">chaplets</a>, and Anglican rosaries. <a href="p2.html">Necklaces, earrings and bracelets</a> can be in sets or as separate pieces. I also like to have input on the pieces I make, so if you see something you like, but may want a different color, let�s talk and see what we can come up with. <br> <br> I try to ensure that the rosaries and jewelry I make are one-of-a-kind. There may be occasions where I have the supplies to make more than one item of the same style.
