This is a collaborative blog. Well, let's face it, they all are. But, specifically, this one's a collaboration between me, my friend Camii, and sometimes my brother. Here you'll find waitressing stories, bar quotes, movie reviews, and the occasional cake.

Ankle Bracelets

"Will you make me an ankle bracelet with these?"
-Camii

When we went to the shops in Grand Junction, Camii found some nifty goldstone and tiger eye beads which then came home with me so I could do some custom jewelry for her. About a week later, these are what I came up with. I figured that if I did four, she'd be bound to really like at least one. I quite like the way they turned out - the tiger eye beads especially are lovely. Even more, I like the idea that she'll be wearing them. I make so much jewelry and can't wear it all, so it's nice when other people help share the burden.

Here's a closer look. While I like them all, I think my favorite one is the third from the right. It's all tiger eye thanks to some leftovers I had in my bead stock. It's neat how a single type of stone can have so many variations in color.

The top one - same as the one on the far right in the bottom picture? That one doesn't have any tiger eye, it's the goldstone.
