I have so many blue beads I doubt it can be healthy, so when given an opportunity to use it all with jasper imperials and cat’s eye I wasn’t hesitating for a second. It took me a couple of days, a lot of changing of plans every 10-15 minutes but I got there in the end.

My first beads bought off ebay contained hemalyke, hematite and various colorations towards that semiprecious gemstone.
I’ve always liked hematite, because not only is it linked to my starsign but it’s magnetic type is said to have “healing powers”.

I’ve started carefully with a new hobby. I need time away from my computer, which ironicly is being replaced with time infront of tv while beading. I basicly went from one screen to another, only larger!

Here are two bracelets I’ve made so far. The second one I gave to my niece who turned 11 this sunday.
