They Arrived!

Remember in my Challenge of Travel post, I mentioned that what I had ordered from Japan did not arrive in time to make my planned project? Well, they came!  They arrived on Wednesday!  Can you tell from this first photo what they are?
Probably not, I did that on purpose!  But can you tell from this second photo what they are?
They look like bezels.  That's what I thought when I saw them!  They are actually vintage Japanese door pull handles!  I found them at VintageFromJapan on etsy.  I hope to be able to get to them soon, and I'll be sure to show you what I make!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party? 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.

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!
