Felted Creations and Wednesday's Treasur(i)es

I've been playing with the Huskystar ER10 embellisher my husband gave me last Christmas. A fellow beadfreak gave me a box of washing machine felted sweaters she had been collecting to make a quilt. To my great fortune, she gave up on the quilt idea :D

Here are the first two pieces I've created from the first of those sweaters:

Upcycled Felted Cashmere and Wool Bangle (2323)

Upcycled Felted Cashmere Cuff with Bead Embroidery and Raku Button (2324)

The narrow bangle sold within hours of being listed yesterday and is now on its way to grace (and perhaps warm) the wrist of a lovely woman in Worcester Mass. :D I will be making more of these.

I just listed the second one about 30 minutes ago, so it's still available. I'm so glad I had a chance to use one of Lisa Peters' wonderful raku button on that one.




Let me start the Wednesday's Treasur(i)es part of this post off with "Merry!" a list I was able to grab last night:
