Hey there! If you got here from my Freewebs Site, Welcome and Happy Shopping. If you got here from my Piczo home page, please check out my Freewebs site for more jewelry and sparklies. You'll find my order forms there as well.
Item HB4- Cost $20.00-This headband/veilband was made with gold anodized aluminum rings, blue dyed fossil stone beads and iris finished shell beads. It's approximately 20" around. I'll put up a star by the cost when it's up for sale.
Item HB5- Cost $20.00-This headband/veilband was made using gold anodized aluminum rings and frosted aurora-finished glass teardrop beads. Some people call the little beads "ghost beads" because of the way the aurora finish looks. It's approximately 20 inches. This one is almost ready to sell. Watch for the star to show up by the cost.
I'll probably be posting more pix of other new creations soon. I'm hoping to have more orbs. (These can be seen on my Other Sparklies page of my freewebs site.) You can get to my site by clicking the link above.
Our first set up at a local event called First Saturday. We've come a little bit farther since then. We also set up at an annual event called Santa's Market. This event occurs at the base where my husband is stationed.

How to wear Viking beads. I will update this later if I find info to the contrary but I believe I read Vikings used these bead strands as trade. They would wear them as shown but attached with big metal brooches instead of modern safety pins. LOL I have no big metal brooches to photograph with them. Metal or chain links weren't used much so I just put a token bit of chainmail in these.
Item #BS2-Viking Trade Beads with a fox (? or rabbit?) bead and the same sort of beads as item BS1. My chainmail bit for this strand was the Celtic Circles Entwined weave done in red and gold anodized aluminum and bright aluminum.
*Cost: $15.00
Item #BS3-Viking Trade Beads with cat and fish beads and the same various beads as Items BS1 and BS2. The chainmail on this one is Celtic Visions weave done in bright aluminum. This is the strand my daughter is wearing in the picture above.
*Cost: $15.00
Item #BS1- This strand of Viking trade beads has a hummingbird, a cat, and my Celtic Circles Entwined chainmail done in gold anodized aluminum and titanium rings. The silver is bright aluminum. The rest of the beads are either glass, bone or genuine stone (carnelian, fossil and agate).
*Cost: $15.00 If you wish to order, contact me through my freewebs order page with this item number. See the link at the top of this page.
Medieval Girdle Belt Item #GB1 Cost: $100.00
I made this belt over a period of two months because time and supplies demanded it be so. Altogether, it took about 6-8 hours work, I believe. This isn't counting making the gemstone spacers. The clover beads are genuine ocean jasper and the round beads are azurite. Bright aluminum rings were woven in a pattern called Scherzo. The tassel on the end is made of sterling silver chain. A lobster claw clasp finishes it off. This belt is adjustable and can also be worn as a long necklace or looped once or twice.
