New Beadies!


I have mastered the hollow - sometimes! I made these the other night. Yes, I switched up my bead making schedule to work at night to allow time during the day for kid things. I think I was on a roll, because these really turned out great! I will be listing them tomorrow on etsy, but wanted to give you a sneak peek! I love hollow beads, and hopefully I will have a chance to bring to fruition an idea I have had since I was in Rome with the boyfriend two years ago!!!! Just so you know, they are really so much more shiny and great in person than in picture!

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. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! 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!
