More Austen

I feel as though I haven't been producing as many pieces of jewelry as I had been earlier this year, but I'm still at it, adding to my stock little by little! After I made all of those Sherlock Holmes pieces, I made a couple of pieces with random book page beads...which was a lot easier! No searching for names and specific words to use cuts the process of making the beads in half! lol But after those, I did do another book--Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen. I know, I've done lots of Austen, but this book was a request from a friend, and it's my goal to make pieces from all of her books anyway. ;) So, I prepared lots of beads, all of which bear a name or title from the book, and got to work! Here are some pictures of them all...

I made sure every bead had a character name, or the name of a place from the book

I made these 2 bracelets first... simple, but pretty :)

This cuff bracelet was a custom order for a friend. I made it a bit different from my other cuffs, as I strung black beads instead of using chain as the main frame for the bracelet. I like how this one turned out, and I think I'll use this method again next time I made a cuff bracelet. :) 
(A shout out to my friend Cindi who ordered this for her friend as a gift--I'm so grateful to my friends and family for their support!)

And last, but not least... a necklace was a must, of course

So those are my latest Austen additions! I'll post again with other miscellaneous pieces I've made recently. Until then!
