Inspiration



A few days ago, Lorelei Eurto posted on her facebook wall a photo of a set of ceramic spheres by House of Ceramics on etsy. She felt that the photo would be great inspiration for bead makers. I did too - I love the colors and have recently been loving my round bead mold. I was going to make beads that night anyways, and this has me totally excited. The first photo is the one Lorelei posted - a set of four ceramic spheres in gorgeous cool colors. The second photo is my interpretation. It was fun. I think I'm going to try this each week!

I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
