I made this choker a few days ago. Found my inspiration from a new beading book that I recently got.
Looks quite nice with some brown outfits I have.

The Dresden Files
So what have I been up to lately? Not much in the jewelry department, as I had to catch up with a bunch of books to read, in order to send them out to people that I am trading with (particularly through bookmooch.com).
The book I've just finished reading was the first in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, called Storm Front. A great series, it was on my wishlist for a long time. It was well worth the wait though, as the first book was very good. Better yet, since I also watched a few episodes of the new tv show based on the same series, all while reading, I kept having the mental image of Harry Dresden doing the magic, solving the cases, and the book really came alive for me.
If you like Tanya Huff's Blood series (which has also been just now brought to screen in the Blood Ties series), or Laurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, you will definitely love Harry Dresden!
I can also imagine Harry Dresden as a grown up Harry Potter, fighting the baddies with his magic wand.
Looking forward to reading the #2nd book.

Back to beading
I've had this bracelet unfinished on the tray for over two months now, before getting into wirework, so today I decided to finally finish it before I tip the tray over and lose all my beads, lol.
Simple cellini spiral from the big white Russian book.
Hm, when I posted the pic at the Australian beading forum, I've been told to head over to the seedbead challenge topic, and enter my bracelet as it qualifies. Oh well, looking at the other gorgeous pieces there, mine pales in comparison, but I entered, nevertheless. Even if just to keep track with what goodies other post there as well.
And this is my latest mail creation, a full persian with beaded units sticking out.Got the idea from Plumlee's book, which I bought a few days ago. His full book is based on the Byzantine, but what an eye candy there is in the book!
