Russian River

I had purchased these cool rock connectors at a bead show awhile back and have never used them. I have seen lots of other designers use them but I was unsure how they would look in my designs...I knew whatever piece I made had to be organic in nature to fit in with the rock ( I am funny about not wanting to mix certain things together). So here you have "Russian River" a combination of lampwork, bead caps- made from copper washers (soooo easy!) Agate, wood and Australian Chrysoprase.

You can find Russian River on my web site Judith B. Designs

There is so much to do....so little time! Getting ready for my Trunk Show & Sale on Friday, yikes! I am trying to get some new things made and this bracelet is one of them. I am very pleased with the simpleness of this design, the stones say it all. You can find this on my website

I am sure everyone is getting ready for their Thanksgiving feast, cooking, cleaning and some will be traveling. We won't be visiting family this holiday as we were back to Massachusetts and Connecticut this past spring, instead we will be walking across the lawn to our good friends house, what a treat it will be for me not having to cook. I know it will be a lovely day spent with good friends.
