I made this bracelet as a birthday present for a friend. I found these glass fishes on sale. I love love crocheting with beads. :)h http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v672/jaclim/Sarahsfishes.jpg

Also some book thongs everyone's been doing. These were so fun and addicting to make! I used mostly ceramic beads to lend an oriental touch to them....:))

All these are made with size 10 thread.

Thanks, Fiona! It was really fun making them! Good luck on your 1st try and do post pics after. :))

Thanks, Julie! It was addicting!!!! :cloud9

That's a good idea to use charms, Rebecca!!!! I'm sure that once you've made one, you won't be able to wait to make another, and another....LOL! It only took me an hour to make the bracelet.

Thanks, Pam and Jess....I'm making some scrunchies with beads which my cousin ordered from me. I love the crocheting part but hate the stringing part....heheh!!!! Will post pictures after they're finished.

The fish are so cute. I should try and make some and use cows for the book thong or a bracelet. Just need to find cow beads. Doe's anybody know were I can find cow beads and stuff
