My first cabochon! I'm so excited!  I finally got to try my cab mandrel today - this is what I made!  It's clear glass, silver foil, and a gorgeous Turquoise Ocean frit from Gaffer Glass!  It will go in my SueBeads etsy shop shortly - as soon as I order more cab mandrels!  This one measures approx. 25mm (1 inch).

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!
