Brielle Craft Fair 2013

My goodness! What a gloomy day here at the Jersey shore! A great day for creativity and catching up on little things around the house that we avoid doing. Tomorrow, is suppose to be a picture perfect day so I'll spend the day tomorrow outside and with friends.

For now I have a new event to announce (this is one of those catch up things!) I'm great at creating and not so with writing...

Come visit me if you're in the area...

 

Brielle Craft Fair 2013

 

17 Acre Brielle Park

 

Brielle, NJ

 

Corner of Union Lane and South Street

Time:  9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Rain or Shine

 

The old saying with this show is...it never rains on Brielle Day!

 

It's actually funny...it has rained but it stops nobody! The customers just walk around with their boots, coats and umbellas! Ya, gotta love them!

 

I have been very involved with bangles this year...so beware! There will be many to choose!

 

 

Shooting Stars Bangle

 

The moon, stars (little dots of fine silver) rolling ocean and black sky!

The focal bead is a lampwork bead created with molten glass and torch, then put in a kiln for durability. This bead was created individually by a glass artist.

Sterling Silver. Handcrafted.

 

 



Work In Progress ~ Handcrafted Jewelry in it's Making!

Just a little peek of what's on my workbench right now...

Here's ONE, yes one of my containers of lampwork beads. Pretty aren't they?

A couple of bangles I'm working on and bebopping with...I use a copper coil first before using my sterling silver. Less costly mistakes.  I leave them for a couple of days before completing to make sure I like the way they look. Just the way they are...hmmm...reminds me of the Bridget movies.

This is what I was working on this afternoon. I made bracelets like this a few years ago. I decided it was time to do a few again. Easy~Breezy to wear! I can make any colors your little heart desires. So what are you waiting for email me and order now, my Beadheads! Great gift for the holidays. The bracelet is finished with random colors in browns and a different type of green (muted). Love it! Earrings of course to match. I'm working and thinking a little more on how to design the necklace. What do you think? Like it? Love to hear your comments.

Not a great photo :-(  When everything is completed I'll post another photo.

Have a great day!

Craft Show in Avon By The Sea, NJ ~ July 14, 2012

Hi Beadheads!

 If you plan to visit the Jersey Shore the weekend July 14th please visit To Be Me Jewelry in Avon, NJ. There will be a Craft Show on the Boardwalk in Avon By The Sea  ~ 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Rain date will be July 15th.  I love that Avon has a rain date...it's fair to the vendors. Many towns that offer craft shows do not give rain dates and do not return the fees to the vendors.

To Be Me Jewelry will have sea glass jewelry, lampwork bangles, and the famous Thought Waves Necklaces. All of my jewelry is handcrafted with good vibes. You will be able to pick great buys in sterling silver and gold-fill earrings, bracelets, necklaces, bangles.

Coastal bangle

starfish earrings!

 Turquoise...oh yeah!

 Hoops....YES!

 Beach jewelry!

How 'bout some red sea glass, blue sea glass, green sea glass???? Well ~ come see me and find out what I have for YOU!

Watermelon Bangle

OMGoodness...Although, it's only June, designs are being sketched and created for the fall and holiday season. I'm thrilled to say I am in love with working with fall colors and of course deep read and green. Wearing classic colors for the holidays put me in the spirit. Don't you agree? What is your favorite color for the fall and holidays?

Since you have to wait for the unveiling of a new season ... let's zone in on this sweetie of a bangle. What name shall I call this bangle....of course...the Watermelon Bangle. Not very original but it fits!

Designed with lampwork beads and sterling silver, a handful of pink glass beads. The lampwork beads are handcrafted with a torch and put in a kiln for endurance. No two lampwork beads can be exactly alike. Beautiful bright colors just for the hot summer months. So...measure your wrists and order your Watermelon Bangle. This is a limited edition.

How do you like this bangle?

Please go to ToBeMeJewelry for ordering online.
Take care Beadheads!

It's a Bangle Kind of Season...don't ya think?

I've been going bangle crazy! A feeling in the air of warm weather brought me to my flip-flop senses and bangles! I love to wear my bangles in the summer. Here is what's up in my workshop at the moment. Not sure if they will all end up on To Be Me Jewelry  ~ so my dears if you see something in this photo let me know fast.

Sandy Beach Bangle

The inspiration for the Sandy Beach Bangle came from making the silver caps with my Pepe Disk cutter. After making the caps I sat looking at them trying to brainstorm a new bangle.

The Sandy Beach Bangle is a limited edition. Designed with sterling silver, goldfill, lampwork beads. The lampwork beads are light tan with tiny silver balls. Quite outstanding.
