2020 post

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all!

Welcome to 2020 and the FanciMar blog.  Hopefully your new year has gotten off to a great start. We are excited about upcoming new beginnings and new ideas.  We hope to again take part in the 2020 Swap

Here are afew couple of 2019 projects that we experimented with...leather earrings

We also used a lot of wood in our designs...

Hello all!
Here is something that I just learned...embellished leather earrings. They come in different sizes and shapes? The pictures below were bought at the gem show in Eatonville Ohio this last July.

 

I have a Sizzix machine and I bought some leather squares to tryto making my own shapes..  The price on these earrings are $10/pair.  If you are interested contact me at www.fancimardesigns.com

2019 Swap Hop

It's that time of year again for the 2019 Bead Swap n Hop!

The reveal date is April 7, 2019.  This year my partner is Valarie Dunsmore from Florida. Here is what she sent me.....

I've got a bunch of goodies...the wheels were spinning out of control while looking through my package.

It's almost time, I cant wait..I'm so excited..here's what I've come up with so far.

Here I used the multi-colored pebble stones to create this piece along with raki ribbon.

This piece I used the orange square beads along with Valaries favorite  color green beads, gold chain and the raki ribbon. Sorry this picture is upside down.

Another black n white creation using the square beads

Here Valerie sent these black ebony beads that were drilled on the diagonal,  I found the white stick beads and the idea just clicked!

Happy 2019 New Year to one and all!

Here are just a sampling of what FanciMar Designs has to offer...
