This is just a simple, adjustable hemp bracelet with some rocking beads on it!!!

The glass leaf bead in the center is a dark blue and is the centerpiece for the creation. I used two different purple seed beads, silver rose beads, clear biconial beads, big blue ball beads, black ball beads and wooden purple beads. The hemp is white.

Pieces for an Author - Feathers and Leaves

 For this pair I used purple feathers; pearly white seed beads, purple, light blue clear and light blue seed beads.

 For this pair I used black feathers; black seed beads, metallic purple beads, small gold "flowers" and a black wheel bead.

For this pair I used light blue feathers; silvery seed beads, light blue beads, blue glitter beads, pale purple seed beads and purple beads.
This is my favourite of the three because the colours are so delicate and light.

Generally I dislike working with feathers because they're SO delicate that I'm always afraid I'll tear them but I am very proud of these 3 pairs of earrings! They are STUNNING!!

This is a hemp bracelet that I made that is adjustable in size.
I used metallic purple and purple beads, black ball beads, wooden purple beads, clear diamond beads, blue glitter beads, silver rose beads (which are so adorable wouldn't you say?) and the dark blue glass leaf bead.

 The whole bookmark used with light purple hemp.

 The top of the bookmark with silver leaf charms, silver rose beads, metallic purple and dark purple beads, and black ball beads.

The bottom of the bookmark with metallic and dark purple beads, black wood beads, faux grey pearls, clear diamond beads, clear black beads, silver rose beads, blue glitter beads and a few light purple beads as well.

The whole bookmark made with white hemp.

 The top of the bookmark with purple feather "charms", clear diamond beads, purple beads and clear beads.
The bottom of the bookmark with pearly white beads, clear purple diamond beads, purple beads, silver rose beads, flat clear purple beads and clear diamond beads.

The whole bookmark made with light blue hemp.

The top of the bookmark with light blue feather "charms", clear beads, silver rose beads, light blue beads and blue glitter beads.
