Welcome to FanciMar Designs Blog !

This is my first entry into a challenge so here goes...


I found these top drilled beads, which I can never remember the names of the stones, at an open house bead store here in Columbus.  The round rondells were brought back to me from a friend’s trip to California (I’m always asking for different kinds of beads whenever a friend travels!) and the silver spacers I’ve had for awhile. 

I came up with this design for a necklace and a bracelet.  I hope you will like it.

 











After looking through still another stash (which I have all over my bedroom 
in every nook and cranny) I came across a couple of slabs 
that needed some attention. Soooooo
Here is a  pair of cufflinks from my lapidary collection.

   





               That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  Marde
