I bought some corded nappa leather a while ago and never got around to using it. It’s a double wrap around bracelet with a magnetic clasp. I want to see how the beads move around, it they drop to the back of the bracelet or stay on top. It’s going to get worn next week to try it out.
I added some sterling silver beads in between the cored beads for more bling.
Made two more hollow beads filled with microbeads.
Both are made out of veiled cane glass so they have striations throughout the glass. The have been filled with tiny microbeads and capped with anodized aluminum bead caps, then cored with sterling silver tubing.
I got this clear hollow made up into a necklace. It has red microbeads inside and the bead caps are anodized aluminum.
This next one turned out kind of large and I got a few bubbles in it. Not sure what I’m going to do with it yet. I thought the color would turn out more red but it’s definitely orange.
I know it’s green. I accidentally cut the bead caps in reverse. I meant to have the black on top and the green on the bottom so only a little rim of green would show. Since that didn’t happen, I filled the bead with green microbeads.
Another hollow bead made with blue veiled cane. It has some lines in the glass that are different colors. I filled the bead with thin microbeads and strung it on a sterling silver chain. A few pearls finish the piece.
Another hollow bead. I haven’t figured out how to use it yet. Just got it cored and capped. I used some ultrafine glitter and made a complete mess. The bead caps are made out of anodized aluminum and I shouldn’t have domed them as much as I did. The glitter was coming out from the sides of the bead caps. Finally got them tight enough so the glitter wouldn’t keep coming out.
I finally got a clear hollow made. I tried filling it with different medias but nothing was looking good. Finally settled on some gold glitter. Finished it with brass end caps. Put it on a copper bead stick that I made a while ago along with some beads.
This glitter is a bit chunkier than other glitters I’ve used. Kind of looks like tiny bits of real gold.
Also, more kitty beads…..
Some more sparkle big hole beads……
And one kitty bead. This kitty turned out kind of fat. Kind of reminds me of my cat, Igor. His fur is so fluffy around his face it looks like he has no neck.
And a hollow bead that I cored and strung it on leather.
