I've been alternating my time between a few pieces over the past few weeks.
As I mentioned previously I am trying to make a Christmas presents so here are a few I've been working on.
Can you believe it is now around 5 weeks to Christmas?

This is my peyote Buddha cuff which I recently shared with you.
I only need to add a clasp and it's done.
This cuff has been very popular with my workmates who have been watching it's progression so I am thinking I might have to make a few more!
~~*~~
The second piece is using Marcie Abney's tutorial, Looking Glass Pendant.
I absolutely love this piece.
The mixture of teal, blue and silver really makes me smile (unfortunately the colours aren't showing perfectly in the photos).
I actually love this one so much that I think I am going to have to make another one for myself!
I plan on making a few more of these as gifts in different colours.
If you are keen to make one for yourself then pop on over to Marcie's blog where she kindly offers the pattern for free.

Lastly I have also been working on one of my Beading Babes projects, Sleek in Silver.
I think I might have to rename mine Sleek in Mookaite because as you can see, there isn't a silver bead in sight!
Like a few other Beading Babes have mentioned, this piece comes together very quickly and once you have done a few units is very easy.
I am not sure yet whether I am a fan of Tila beads though.
I've had a few dodgy beads in my tube, mainly chips and scratches which kind of makes them hard to use given their flat surface making the chips extremely visible.
This weekend I was hoping to make a start on my second project for Beading Babes, Earthly Hues, but I've spent the weekend cleaning out our garage so not even a minute of beading has been done.
It's 9.27pm so the evening is still relatively young, and even though I am completely and utterly pooped from the weekend I still wouldn't mind squeezing in a tiny bit of beading.
That's the thing about beading...you need your daily fix!
What's buzzing around in your creative space this week?

Beautiful!!! I love the fact that your looking glass pendant is transparent. Gorgeous! Oh, and as for Tilas. The problem is that they are so thin at the edges where the holes are that they break easily. It really is annoying, I know.
Loving all the projects you are working on, Karyn!
Very cool colors on the Mookaite necklace too. I'm taking the center drop idea and making matching earrings :D
I love the pendant as well! And thank you for the link, going to see if I can find the oval links or something similar to make some of these.
Wow Karyn, Love the cuff! What type of clasp are you going to put on it? I got that tutorial from Marcie a while ago but have not made one yet. Can not wait for the reveal I'm so curious as to what everyone participating in Nov. Beading Babes projects has done. From the picture your rendition of Sleek in Silver is going to be gorgeous.
