Buckskin & Palomino Horse Coloured Bracelets

These 2 new bracelets have been the hardest to work out the colours for & to find the right beads. I have used a combo of semi-precious beads, vintage beads, silver charms, freshwater pearls.
 
This palomino bracelet above has lots of 'bling' on it to represent the showiness of the colour & the horse. This bracelet is $45 posted to Australia. All my horse colour bracelets arev$45 posted. If you are from other countries I will need to check conversion & postage rates.

 The buckskin bracelet below was a real challenge because I wanted to show the barring that they must have at least on their legs & the dorsal stripe too. Finally I found some vintage beads that were just the right colour. I love the little pegassus charms I found. This bracelet is $45 posted to Australia.
The easiest way to pay me is by PayPal to my email address. Use the 'Contact Me' form in the right hand margin for more info.

 

Several people have ordered bracelets & emailed comments about them. So here are some of those comments pasted out of their emails.

Amanda said they were 'precious little gems' & she adores her amathyst bracelet.
Jen2 ordered one of the rainbow series & wanted a matching memory wire twin loop as a present for her girlfriend. I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
Karli is from USA & couldn't wait for her palomino bracelet to show it off to her horse loving friends because it is such a unique piece.
Codi wanted a set similar to the Autumn series 5&6 for himself & his girlfriend. Her's has pegusus charms on it & his is plain. I suspect it was his g/f who left the link to my blog on his desktop! lol
Shay asked for a pair of beach series for her grandchildren, each made alittle differently so they would know who's was whose. The littlebracelets looked so cute in their little voile presentation bags.
Catsacalling couldn't wait for her grey horse bracelet to arrive as it's a wedding gift to be worn with the dress which is steel grey voile with handmade silver thread lace. They're going to send me a photo! :-)
A lady ordered one of the Autumn series memory wire bracelets because her online name is ....Autumn! She said it represented everything she wanted herself to be. I'm glad to have helped her. :-)

My Latest Bracelets:- Horse Colours, Rainbow & Autumn Series

Click this link to see all my bracelets:- http://picasaweb.google.com/102630297130321540784/WebsiteBlogPhotos

I've been planning these Horse Coloured bracelets for several weeks & have had to wait for the air to clear (so to speak!  lol) Actually I've had to wait for the volcano ash to clear the sky so the planes can fly again & the freight can get moved around the world.

I have accessed really interesting beads, swarovski crystals, semi precious stones like topaz, amber, aventurine, agate, turquoise, garnet, tibetan silver, silver charms of pegasus, frolicking foal, rearing yearling, arab mare & foal & other lovelies.

Here are the first few made on memory wire. I will be making more in various styles like the stretchy bracelets & multi strand soft style.

The horse colour bracelets are all $45each posted to Australia. For other countries I will have to work out the right conversion price. The same need to work out a conversion price applies to all my costume jewellery items.

Please use the 'Contact Me' form in the right hand margin to ask any questions.



I have made them as close as I can to the basic colours of horses, bay, chestnut, brown, with the grey, black, palomino with appaloosa to come soon. I will even try to create a paint version if it looks ok. Also I might be able to make up a different colour as a special order.








I've also finished some more of my Rainbow Series. I like combining several bracelets together, either of the same set or grouping different sets together to make a BIG statement! lol Here are my latest finished creations that are likely to make very GAY statements. :)
 

  These 2 bracelets (06-1&3) are made from gorgeous little millefiori beads, swarovski crystals, cats eyes & little coloured crystal spacer wheels. They are $40 each incl p&p.
 

 
These 2 bracelets are a bit similar to the previous ones, being made with the same beads except they are only 2 loops. They are $30 each incl p&p.



The Autumn Series has some really great colours in it too. I found a variety of interesting beads for these bracelets including rumbled breach stones, agate, tibetan silver, shiny metallic pearls, silver maple leaf charms & butterflies.
 This bracelet set is $45 for the set incl p&p.
 This size 7 stretchy bracelet is $15 incl p&p. More photos in the web album. This small wrist sized bracelet is the only one of these left. Most suited to a female child.
 Here is a very different Autumn colouration & it's just $12 incl p&p as it is the last one.
 This 3 piece set is $15 incl p&p & is the last one. more photos in the album.
 This 3 piece set is $20 incl p&p & is the last set remaining. more photos in the album.
 
  I'm really pleased with how this gorgeous twisted pearl & shell multi strand bracelet came out. It's a prototype as I'm not sure how much the pearls that are still on order will be. Most likely it will be about $25. Sold out.

I'm adding this short version of a recent post I made on my Health & Diet page incase you haven't visited my healthy eating page.

That's all it took to get my MIND back on track! I didn't have to think about it anymore because MY SUBCONCIOUSNESS WAS MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS FOR ME AGAIN !!

It's just amazing! I am a very strong willed person usually. It is hard to change my mind. It is hard for ME to change my mind! It is virtually impossible for me to follow a concious decision (for any length of time) that hasn't started in my subconcious mind. But eating those 2 foods causes my subconcious mind to just make the right decisions for me so I automatically choose the right foods for the meal.

I immediately stopped hunting for sweet or salty foods & instead I made the right food & was happy to leave it at that.

I don't know why it happens (well I do but I won't bore you unless you really want to know!) but I am so glad that it does. lol

If you would like to know how I lost weight have a look at my pages on Health & Diet.

About my bracelets.

I love making bracelets. So far I haven't felt like making earings etc. I might add some necklaces or I could do one specially to match a bracelet I have already made if you want.

I make them to fit an adult wrist of various sizes from 14cm to 20cm around. Because they are stretchy they will fit a a bit bigger or smaller then what I say they will fit. So it's only an aproximate measurement.

When I work out the page settings for my blog better I will put the proper sizings in the side bar, but for now you can email me for more detail.

I will have my web page up & running in a few days time which will have a better layout too.

I prefer paypal & when the website is running you will be able to click on the paypal button but for now you can email me for all those details & to give me your postal address. clissat@gmail.com

I can send to USA for same price in US $'s

Watch for many more to come in the near future as I have heaps more bracelets to photograph & many more designs in my head to bring to completion.

OMG what a learning curve!!

My heart is in my mouth as I learn about blogging & setting up a blog page (right here I need some emoticons....where are they??) lol

This is not easy for a middle aged person. Things don't seem so straight forward once you actually think about what to click on or what decisions to make. And the page doesn't look the same once it's published.

Anyway I wanted to get my bracelets out there for people to see & maybe even buy. ;) I've got a heap of different styles but need to get the photo album working right first.

I'll add a bar of photos along the bottom soon too, but not today.
