Lesley Mciver Art Glass Beads

Lesley Mciver Art Glass Beads Hi, I'm Lesley McIver, maker of glass beads and jewellery using my own beads and Swarovski Crystals. I am a maker of glass beads and jewelry.

I make wearable art for stylish women who want to express their individuality and uniqueness. For me it's all about bringing colourful personal expression to their everyday lives in an authentic sustainable and lasting way. So tell me - how do you express your vibrant self?

It's showtime!
Starting tomorrow on Artisan's Open Market at around 9pm (may be earlier, but not later, depending on factors out of my control) Central US Time (which is in around 24 hours) and going for 48 hours - I will have lots of scrummy beads to show you.
You need to be a member of the group to see and comment - now's the time to get prepared.....

I'll b**g a link in the comments in case you can't find it πŸ©·β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ©΅πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ©ΆπŸ€πŸ€Ž

Continuing on the theme of showing you work that I have here in the studio that is for sale - this jet black and white bracelet is what I call a Sampler. The name harks back to my days as an embroiderer, where I would use showcase different stitches using needle, thread and fabric. Nowadays I do it with glass.

These sell at NZ$280 (around US$165) and are finished with sterling silver findings including a quality loop and toggle clasp, which is extremely secure (if the bracelet fits you correctly), and my little sterling silver makers badge.

Payment would be via PayPal, and I would convert this to US$ (I'd need to account for NZ Tax (GST) and US Tariffs), with postage being extra (to be determined)

This one is 21cms long (a bit over 8 inches), but could be adjusted to fit (depending on how much, there may be an extra small fee for that)

If you're interested, drop me a PM and we can talk about it

So....as some of you will know we were recently away on holiday in our little caravan, and while we got chatting with some of our fellow campers they asked what I do for a job....as you do!
Of course I said I'm a glass bead maker - what's that? They said.
So I showed them my little jewellery roll that I take away with me - just a few bracelets and earrings really, nothing much.....
They asked where they could buy my work, and it did make me think - well, if you're not a part of the big international groups, um...nowhere!
They gave me a little push to post my work here (I don't run a website anymore), so here we go!

Today's bracelet is one of my all time favourite and most popular designs - the Chakra Bracelet - with each colour representing the colour of the five major chakras of the body, according to Ayurvedic tradition - also closely aligned to the rainbow, if that's your jam.

These sell at NZ$300 and are finished with sterling silver findings including a quality loop and toggle clasp, which is extremely secure (if the bracelet fits you correctly), and my little sterling silver makers badge.

Payment would be via PayPal, and I would convert this to US$ (taking NZ Tax and US Tariffs into account), with postage being extra (to be determined)

This one is 22cms long (about 8.5 inches), but could be adjusted to fit (depending on how much, there may be an extra small fee for that)

If you're interested, drop me a PM and we can talk about it 🌈
