Disc Beads

What do you do with those chunky disc beads you see being made? Here's a cute earring idea for you! I used a long headpin and strung a small sterling saucer, a czech faceted rondelle, and sterling rope spacer, a disc bead, a flowery bead cap, and finally a black seed bead to make this really cute pair of earrings! 

You can find these disc beads going into my SueBeads etsy store this afternoon!  There are others available, as well, and I'll love to take your custom color requests, just let me know!

Coral with purple powder, and raku frit!
Violet with pretty blue frit!
Amber, Olive and Gray glass with raku frit!

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
