Oooo those are so pretty!!! After Brittany picks hers, can I pick out a pair?! I’ll pay you for the cost of the beads of course

Sorry to intrude but those are adorable!

Gosh Lin…those are gorgeous! (ogles the purple, orange and tiny white ones)…are the purple ones ending in fish shaped beads? Or I suppose those cold be tulips, yes? Where do you find this stuff? 0_o
You’re so talented! You do some lovely crafting!

PURPLE <3

O_O
Sorry, I forgot my phone today, teehee.

I like the white ones

Guess I should post some of my recent work eh? As soon as I get my present from Linds, I’ll be making a matching ring to go with them

they are beautifull. well done u !!!

Mir bear and I both like the purple.   Beautiful.   The 2nd photo top left

Can you send me a purple pair?  I guess I give my addy on our mail that is on top right of the page? 

Lintini is one of the people that inspired me to start making jewelry.. so here are a few of my first works, dedicated to her

They are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rings I have ever made, in order. My first is nowhere near worthy enough to post lol.

how do you make them monkeybun?

Monkey, that’s a nice ring you made, the red one that has the copper casing. I marvel at the pictures here.

Lintini, those are lovely!

Monkeybun, I LOVE the middle ring. You are both very talented.

Ooo you guys are so talented! MB, those rings look great, I’m sure your first one was just as pretty! I like the first and third ring that you posted. Monkey, what would it take for me to get you to make me a ring?

Thanks Lintini! I like the pink pair on the top row, second from the right, next to the purple ones… I also like the purple ones – I like the shape of the beads on the top half, but i prefer the shape of the bottom green beads on the other earrings I’ll PM you my address.

Wouldn’t take much.. I gotta practice anyway lol. And I can only wear so many rings! hehe

I make them with some basic beading wire and beads, mocha. I use a ring mandrel to wrap the wire to size, then use a kind of pliers to make the twists in the wire. It’s not too hard I’m not up to using the expensive 24k gold or sterling silver wire yet..need more practice before I can justify spending that much money on wire lol.

And I’ll be going to a Jewelers institute sometime in the near future for a 4 month course to get my certificate to get me going in the design and crafting industry. Making these simple wire rings will get me started in learning those techniques I will need

Sooo… if anybunny wants one, let me know size, color of wire, color of beads… and if you prefer dainty little rings or larger ones I may be able to coordinate with Lintini’s earrings too, color wise at least

Thanks MB. Youre the best!  I’ll send you a PM w my preferences. I sent this to Lindsey in a PM but I’ll say it again… I wish I was that crafty with jewlery and could make something to trade! However… I do knit and I found this adorable patter for a bunny plushie that I’m going to try this weekend. If it works out, I can make those for anyone that wants one!

! Thats adorable!!!

Monkey!!
I REALLY REALLY love the middle ring

I was in Seattle for the day, and I saw this shop devoted to ALL FREAKIN BEADS!! It was called “World Beads.” I thought of you and Lindsey while I went to browse around It makes me want to start making earrings o_O I could make so many without having to buy actual made ones from the store. XP

Barbie, SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! PINK BUNNY!!!!!

I <3 bead stores Theres one in Hillsboro called Planet Bead.. tons of bead stuff there.

o_O
Oh dear.. I think I am going to try to go to Oregon sometime this fall. I will have to check it out!!!!

And when you do, you can come meet Monkey and Moosie

MB, I love that second ring with the clear crystal! We have some folks here in my town who silver wrap stuff for a living, they do some excellent work, very much like yours. Would be happy to send you a sample if you like.
Jewelers’ school, huh? Boy I envy you, I’ve always wanted to be a silversmith.

*pokes middle ring*…Erm…I’m a size 6….lol ^_^

I’ll let you know when I am going down for a trip

I really might end up taking Monkeybun with me

MM… those are the very first rings I’ve made Just think of what I can do once I have more practice I’ve been gone all weekend so I didn’t get anything done whatsoever, but this week I’ll see what I can make

Oh, and samples would be great

Those are beautiful earrings! I love anything flowered~! Very pretty!

And MB’s rings and the knitted bunny are cute too!

I love the idea of making jewelry, I’ve bought lots of pendents and stuff at my local craft store. Whenever I see a piece I like I buy it, but I have yet to make anything despite a full shoe box of pieces. I have no ideas. I especially like anything with shells or flowers.

those are all beautiful! I really like those stone/crystal rings wow! Those earings are just beautiful, little white one’s r my favorites too! I have made neclace charms with those stones/crystals, but have never thaught about rings too! those stuffed bunnies r adorable!

I’m so jealous of you guys that you can wear most jewelry. I am so terribly allergic to nickel that the only metals I can wear are titanium and platinum. Either that or I have to coat everything in clear nail polish several times a year.

That knitted bunny is so cute! Precious. Makes me want to learn to crochet.

Maybe I should take up cross stitch again. My grandma taught me when I was a little girl. I bet if I went up to my uncle’s place I could find some unfinished projects of hers and mine. I remember helping her most with a bunny one. I don’t remember if we ever finished it.

Monkeybun, have you been busy making jewelry?

Lis – my mom was very sensitive to certain jewelry. She had thought that I was as well, but I am not.

I was busy getting an MRI today, but tonite I will work on some

Lis, that sucks big time! Once I’m done my jewelers course, I’ll see if I can cast some titanium or something for you Don’t hold your breath though.. not sure when the course will happen lol.

MB! What on earth was the MRI for? *worries* Gee whiz…don’t worry about making anything for me right away, get some rest! *waves hands frantically*

I’m going to have to mail our gal up here and see if maybe she can carve somethign besides wolves and bears…I think a little silver wrapped cottontail would be just the thing.

I have a friend who can only wear pure gold or silver. She gets green marks otherwise and it exacerbates her eczema. The only platinum I’ve ever had was my original wedding set. That stuff is crazy expensive!

The MRI is for my knee, from that computer room crash last year. Still trying to get it sorted out lol. I go to the doc today to get word on what is going on with it. Let’s see if I can finally get some answers… and hopefully I can finally give insurance people info so I can get a decent settlement for it >.<

In the meantime… I don’t need my knee to make jewelry Little Smudge has been causing me to have a lack of sleep though, what with spay today, which means I’ll be snoozing by her all night tonite lol. So sleepy me may not get much work done, but you never know…

Oh i LOVE the rings and the little stuffed bunnys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahah, Lindsey lazy days are the bestest I haven’t gotten anything yet, just my big box of hay XD

anyone wanna send one of those plushie bunnies up to Ontario for moi?? <3 its sooo adorable!!!

MirBear, I tried making that bunny… .but… idk, it didn’t come out as well as I had hoped.  So let me work on it   and I’ll let you know if I can make one worthy of sending to my BBers
