Sue Beads

Another month has passed us by, and another challenge will be in the books.  Appropriately, the theme for the Art Elements challenge this month is Ornaments. I had a lot of fun with this one - I had more than a few days I wasn't working this month so making ornaments filled some of my time.

The first ones I want to show you are stitched by me - they were made with some little heart ceramic tiles my daughter found on a job site.  I love finding little treasures on job sites, so I decided these needed to be bezeled and hung on the tree!

I also had these snowflake forms hanging around for years, so I decided to make some with these blown hollow glass beads and czech fire polished beads, along with some seed beads.  They turned out pretty good - I may have gotten a little carried away.  I still have a little pile of hollow beads to make more ornaments with!




I had made some ornaments a few years ago with vintage chandelier parts - they never sold, so I took them apart and made new ones…

Hi everyone! Don't know about where you live, but it's cold and blustery here today! On and off snow flurries - the kids wish it was the real thing, but it's not. I listed some new beads in the SueBeads etsy store - the one I'm featuring here is called Garland - that's what it reminds me of, Christmas garland that you'd hang on your mantel! Have a great Sunday - cheer for the Steelers!
