July 4th 2014 in preparation....

Already wishing for fireworks--and started on my combo for July 4th today.  Last years was something like this:


And this is the current work in progress...not sure if/what I will change


Anyone else already working on something for the holiday?  If so, please share.

They are both wonderful! I love the use of the Sahara Jewels and the ridges. Very spirited designs! I haven't stopped with the new house long enough to do any bead-play, but this has inspired me!

Very nice!

Love them both!

I don't have a lot of beads and hopefully will accumulate more slowly but I will probably wear what I made for this years Memorial Day weekend.

Pictures are in the link below. Not a full bracelet. Haven't worn a full bracelet yet.

Definitely every year better than the one before!!

I agree. The eagle is a beaut and should be in. Can't wait to see the final creation.
Thanks for your kind words too.

Boom! Like fireworks!

Looks like the holiday has started.

Yesterday's Version:


Will probably change a little again today  

I like how bold it is in the colors this year.

Enektra I like the use of the liberty bell in your bracelet also

Mine isn't nearly as pretty as the others, but I did put a little something together today to help celebrate Independence Day with our neighbours to the South!

Awww how sweet to join in the celebration Strike. I like it! Bangle combos are fun.

And thank you Michelle.

Strike I think your stars and stripes is cool.

Beautiful both of them, but the second one really caught my eye because it looks radiant Happy 4th of July, to you
