Treasures by Louise

  I am finally posting this bracelet that I made in October - inspired by the fall colors. Made with memory wire, eye pins and four colors of Bead Gallery glass polygon beads. Here is my inspiration: http://www.michaels.com/Seaglass-Cuff-Bracelet.   I used just four beads per pin and arranged the black beads to form the chevron pattern. The colors used were black, amber, gold and lavender. I have had many compliments on this bracelet!

I have loved  Zentangle (ultra-fantastic doodling) since I first saw a book about it. When my daughter wanted to decorate her shoes, I knew just what pen (The Pigma Pen) to recommend. I showed her the Zentangle website, too. Zentangle Website . She went in her own direction, and I think the results are fantastic! After decorating them, we sealed the shoes with Krylon Matte Acrylic Spray on to keep them from getting damaged, even though Pigma pens are permanent and water proof.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Thankful for: Family and friends, beautiful fall colors, fluffy white snow, beads and more! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
