bracelet for ABS
Java Bracelet by Jean for Nov. Art Bead Scene

I love to make bracelets and other types of jewelry for Art bead Scene and post on Flickr.com

It is such a great way of getting my inspiration going! Here is a photo of a bracelet I made using a Green Girl Studios "java" bead in pewter: one of my favorite, fun, beads, which I used when I made the bracelet for the ABS http://www.artbeadscene.blogspot.com/ November challenge! I would like to point out the curls in the lampwork beads reinforce the curls in the warm "smoke"-"steam" curling up from the pewter java bead. I love the gracefulness of that. I added some toasty colored pearls to the pewter charm, and I strung everything with copper. The little beads which make up the body of the bracelet are carved wood. It's all very cosy, which is nice, because today is cold here. There is frost on the leaves which are still hanging in and remaining here -- it is a perfect day to curl up with your favorite warm beverage (java? tea? a hot toddy? <--what is that???) and read a book.

Lovely design as always Ms. Jean the artful Bean!

Your son is this close to super star status! Soon he'll be seen dating the latest it starlet in the tabloids!

It's cold here too...I wish I could curl up with a Hot Buttered Rum or a Fall Down.

I made it up. It's Rum, Apple Cider, Apple Schnapps served warm with a cinnamon stick.

If you drink to many you Fall Down.

I lived in New England at the time, it was apropos.
