Sunrise!


Enjoy this full rosary bracelet depicting the Sunrise - a bead-scape!
This bracelet was an inspiration while on vacation viewing the sunrise upon the ocean - magnificent sight to be hold! (Even if you have to get up extra early!) The copper embossed metal gives some warmth to the artist piece - everything is hand created with exception to the crucifix. The multiple shell beads bring the rising color to the 'bead-scape'. The tricky part was making sure the length of the decades were evenly matched to size to ensure that the bracelet would lay even and flat. I was very please with the outcome of this piece and it inspired me to think this idea through other pieces... making rosaries 'paint' a picture.

www.AgapeGifts.org has many more inspirations to view...

What a sweet guy!

This commission piece was very special - all Argentium Silver with lovely pictures of their journey through marriage. This is a wonderful gift to his wife - isn't it sweet! His idea too! The blank rectangle is reserved for a current picture of the two of them. I am very pleased with the design of my tried and true toggle. I was thrilled when this piece was completed... I am sure it will bring tears of joy! Enjoy! Contact us if you would like a special bracelet made for you! www.AgapeGifts.org Laura@AgapeGifts.org

Whoa to the O's

Thought
Thought we would continue w the bracelet theme this week. This bracelet was knitted w size 0 needles, made into rings, that went around the hand cut metal discs; it is a bracelet in that it has a stretch with the knitted metallic yarn attached to the copper 'O's giving a criss cross of direction - a really cool piece that fits snuggly. This piece is available - and would make a great Christmas gift - or any time gift! Check out our website to see more! www.AgapeGifts.org

Today’s piece: Hand knitted fine silver wire earrings; I hand knitted the 26g fine silver wire w/ #1 knitting needles, (yes my hands hurt afterwards – but worth it).
