Sue Beads

Last night I made some more enamel headpins and there are 5 sets available in the SueBeads store right now! Have a great long weekend!

This summer, I took a trip to the Cayman Islands for a week, and snorkeled every day but one! When I wasn't snorkeling or reading, or relaxing, I was on the beach, hunting for treasures. Here are some of the things I found!
Sea Urchins and a shark's tooth!

Cool shells!

Sea Glass - the first beach on which I ever found sea glass!

Sea pottery, tile and grout!

Jayne does decoupage boxes and sent the stash in this box!
Kilt pin, pearl in a bird's nest, and a suitcase charm she altered.
Yummy polymer bead from Cathryn of Chili Cats.
Assorted gems.
More assorted gems.


I participated in an August Bead Swap that the lovely Lori Anderson arranged. My partner was Jayne Capps, aka Boot-C. Here are some photos of what she sent me! Aren't they great? She somehow sensed that I really like green! She also made a few things too! Very nice of her!

I just listed some new enameled pieces in my SueBeads etsy store, with more to come later. As soon as this horrid heat wave breaks, I'll be able to make more lampworked beads - it just gets too hot to work when the temperature is in the 90's all week!

I have two sets of enamel head pins available in the etsy store! I just spent some time last night cutting 45 feet of copper wire, so should be able to make more this week!

Now through midnight August 31st, to celebrate my giveaway on Andrew's blog (see below) I am having free shipping in the SueBeads etsy store and my SueBeads web site! Don't miss out on this great opportunity! Andrew is also having a big sale!

Check out the giveaway on Andrew's blog today - it's a giveaway of my beads! I stole the photo that Andrew took, because I forgot to take my own photo when I sent the beads to him! He took such a fab picture anyways! Please note, today until midnight August 31st, you will receive free shipping in my etsy store! I'm going to change the charges this instant!!!! Just leave a comment on Andrew's blog for a chance to win the beads!
