Speaking of Yellow!


Heather Powers, of Humblebeads, just made an excellent blog post on the merits of using yellow in your summer jewelry designs! Speaking of yellow, I just made a customer a set of yellow squeezed beads. I made two sets, and sent her the ones made from Bullseye yellow glass. These ones were made from effetre yellow glass, and I etched them, because well, I love how etched glass looks! I'll be listing them tonight or tomorrow in my etsy store - methinks more like tomorrow because I think I'm done for the day today!

Also, a bunch of new beads are now available for sale on my web site, SueBeads, in the made to order section! Check them out!

I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w

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.
