Lilly was a custom bead I recently did for someone. I was thrilled when she sent along the photo of the bracelet she made with the bead because it's always interesting to me to see what people have done with my beads. I love the way her bracelet came out and as you can see in the middle photo I think Lilly the French Bulldog likes it too!

Here are a few new pieces in my shop. Every once in a while I try my hand at jewelry making and came up with these two, one piece is made with a locket with a hand-sculpted Westie on the front and the other one of is made with one of my handmade French Bulldog beads.

I've been trying my hand at making a few bracelets with my beads. This one is my black French Bulldog slider bead that sits in the middle of this black cord bracelet. On either end of that bead are wooden beads, one green and one blue and two gold rings on each end with blue glass seed bead. At each end before the clasp are two bows, one green and one blue, which are removable. The bracelet ends with a gold tone clasp and extender chain ending with brass dog bone.

The approximate length of the bracelet is 8" with 1-1/2" extension chain.

This French Bulldog has her booty, but it's gotten away from her. These are two hand sculpted polymer clay Pandora slider style beads. One bead has the French Bulldog's head while the other has her booty and neck with silver Bali style collar connected to a silver chain that hooks onto her 'ring' collar. Although they are connected together by chain there is a clasp connected to the head bead that can be disconnected and the French Bulldog can be worn alone.

Size is approximate:
1/4" wide (side to side)
1/2" wide (front of bead to back of bead)
The hole is approximately 3mm" wide.

Fred loves to do the booty dance. I'm sure most dog owners are very familiar with this dance, but for those who are unfamiliar, we shall clue you in. Little Fred the French Bulldog here is so excited about his new tug toy that he's running around the house with his booty way up in the air running back and forth, dancing around picking it up and dropping it. This dance can last for several seconds or many minutes depending on the excitement level. In our home we know this dance all too well and it usually lasts a couple of minutes.

Fred and his tug toy are hand-sculpted with polymer clay. The bestest part about Fred's tug toy is it is partially made with glow in the dark clay so when he's playing with it, it lights up at night -- makes for an even wilder booty dance :). He is varnish sealed for protection.
