My favourite collected beads..

For years and years I have been shopping and collecting.. YOU`re right.. BEADS!

I found that I would make bracelets from a few of them.. a mix of evrything.

I call them GAIA-bracelets.

I have seen people now wear the Morten harket style.. lots of leather and bracelets around the wrist.

OK,. I make  lot of these beads myself. You can find them in my beadshop at etsy http://justliss.etsy.com

Finished bracelets at my EPLA shop, I will gladely pull them over to my Etsy jewellry shop trollsmed.etsy.com

I love beads, when I go for holiday, I shop beads, necklaces, just to take them apart when I`m back home.

WOW.....

I have also been to Denmark to learn how to make recycled glass beads. NOW I buy them from Africa instead, I love to support giving them a job. Instead I use my torch to lampwork bottles... It makes wonderful beads!

...  

Springtime I make bigger beads.. from hazel.. LOL:  Birds love them in winter, they are filled with food, and birds can hide when we pass by.

JI love rustic beads. Rough clay, porcelain clay beads with a surface.

And I go mad at holiday when I find a shop like this...

I should have had that box......

 .. Marrakech 2011.

Hera are whats in my bracelets....

I give away for free a leather bracelet when you buy one of these.  http://trollsmed.epla.no.

I have used bronze for the clasp, that makes beautiful fingers... LOL.. silversmithing is a dirty job, but someones gotta do it.

This is one of my Lycky planets.s.. they are in my shop... Alvetårefolket 

This is Gaia!

Take care of her, she is the most beautiful bead we got!

http:&&www.trollsmed.com I got shops at Etsy and Epla, and my own. They are all linked from blogs.

Actually they were so fun to make that I made a lot. A few of them will fly to a gallery close to me, but I also wil put some into my ETSY bead shop in a few days... i did not manage to take photos, out fo battery. And the dragons would not lit my camera! BAAAH!

Working with my small folks :-)

How can soooo small people make such a lot of work???

Well, I have med two adoption offices for the small folks. Do they call them shops???

Sure, I got an idea, and NOW i make myself a lot of work!
But I love them so much !!!!



I am writing on the stories, but I guess the translation will be a problem... that time, that... (what is it called.. a challenge?)

One shop is at Epla, in Norwegian,

that opened three weeks ago, and today I finished a shop at Etsy.


Hopefully me small folks will get nice homes and humans that love them!

I also finished some LUCKY DROPS in boro glass.
I string them on recycled sari, soft and wonderful, and they can be tied in the neck.

MORE THAN 150 IMAGES HAS BEEN EDITED!

Oh how I hate dark winter light... taking photos in the dark winter from glass and silver is a ... mess!

Fan my offices, and share them :-) Hopefully you will meed one of your own small folks there too :-)))))
