My Pearls 2.0

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you @CortezPearls. I also made a new bracelet. I call this one L'heure bleue, since it's all blue tahitians and I do need to practice mh french since I bought an amigurumi crochet book in french...

It might need some tweaking yet, but for now I am wearing it with with these two

Love these two. After seeing @jeg new Alexander Collins harvest strand I am wondering if I could put something like that together. It woun't be a true harvest strand of course unless one counts my leftover pile as harvest...we will see. My crocheting are going splendid. Soon I can hopefully make some patterns all by myself. The tiger and the goat are my latest creations (I did not make that pattern)

I keep them safely with Not-husbands history books so that Kycklingen (the chicken, that's one of my cats) cannot steal them. I am planning to make a whole bunch of fun amigurumi so that our grandchildren can play with them when visiting. I have already made them special ones that are just their own.
...hm maybe some keshis in my fake harvest strand or bracelet.

Beautiful new creations, Charlotta!!!

Thank you @SurfnSci. I have been so busy lately and will try to be better.

Some more of Summer Sun

And don't Dark Delight look pretty with mh green tahitian studs?

Not that I am wearing those today (every day last week though). Today I am really colorful with my Hearts Delight bracelets, Color Delight and Green Fairy


Green Fairy

And Color Delight

L'heure bleue did have an unfortunate incident with the scissors...how sad...well I wanted to make a (fake) tahitian harvest strand. I had pearls of different sizes and shapes, keshis and what not. Did I make a harvest strand....no. I ended up making a Dark Delight strand instead (without keshis). Hard to resist making an ombre. I like it. Probably a keeper. I changed out some pearls of Dark Delight, the bracelet as well.

With the bracelet

Just the bracelet. It's almost like before. I just exchanged a few pearls

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Maybe I haven't looked at the right place but I hardly ever see any bracelets, with just pearls, that have unusual designs. Mostly they are one color and pearl or a mixed color one. There are lots of fun necklaces. I wonder why that is. Bracelets is easy to admire without a mirror and as I learnt, doesn't gets banged up as much if I wear it on my left arm. Some of my favorite bracelets. Mostly Delight bracelets (ombre) or Impressionistic bracelets (mostly not ombre...)

 

[BWeaves]

Pretty!!!! What kind of clasps do you use for your bracelets? That's what always gives me pause. I can never fiddle the clasp with one hand, and if I can't easily get the bracelet on and off, I don't wear it.

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you @BWeaves. I use the same clasp as on my strands. I have learnt to use them easily. I lay the bracelet over my wrist and attatch the open end to the connector and them I can close it.

 

[Charlotta2.0]

It's been really hot lately so mostly stretch bracelets and tincups for me. I have been wearing my two favorite jadeit and pearls bracelets a lot but also my three favorite Happy bracelets I made last summer. I just rinse them of at night.
Calm before the Colors

Green Tea

Happy bracelet no 1

Happy bracelet no 2

And finally Happy bracelet no 4

Very Happy looking

 

[SurfnSci]

Oooh, I love green tea!!!! And calm before the colors...and all of your happy bracelets

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you @SurfnSci. The green tahitian in Green Tea is amazingly green enhanced by all those green jadeit beads I think. I have two other jadeit bracelets. As well, but these two are my favorite. I did make 10 Happy bracelets last year, but mostly only ever wear these three. I am thinking about making a Happy 2022 bracelet, but didn't bring the reamer with me to the summercabin nor the leftover carved beads I usually use. Maybe next weekend.

I had some fun remaking some bracelets that I didn't use into another Delight creation, this time with graduated vintage akoyas. I call this one Wave Delight

 

[jshepherd]

I see a lot of delightful waves in this one!

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you Jeremy. And a great way to use those vintage graduated akoyas.

 

[CortezPearls]

Very nice pieces Charlotta!
They are vibrant and intense! Love the combination of jadeite and pearls.

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you @CortezPearls. I also made a mixed blue strand that I call Blueberries, with tahitians and akoyas

Most of the blue tahitians are tiny, it's from the Alexander Collins strand I bought from Pearlescence.

 

[CortezPearls]

Love blueberries and Alexander Collins pearls. Looks lovely!

 

[SurfnSci]

Oooh, love it!!!

 

[eolian pearls]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful Charlotta!!!! I LOVE all your creations they feel like the pearls are living their best lives in your necklaces

 

[Charlotta2.0]

Thank you @CortezPearls, @SurfnSci and @eolian pearls. One might hope that @eolian pearls. Years ago I bought a silver tahitian strand from Cees that I eventually remade, those pearls were and some are still in lots of other creations. But last weekend I remade those I currently had loose into a silver bracelet. I like it a lot. I only have one photo, the other got blurry

They are very pretty on their own
