I can’t seem to concentrate on one set of beads recently. I’m all over the place. Here’s what I made this weekend.
These are BIG beads. I used a 3/16″ mandrel so they have big holes too. I’m going to make more with different designs.
Flower beads. I like using these, hoping other people will like them too.
I bunch of blue beads. I was on my way to make a set of blue beads but got side tracked so all I have is some plain blue beads so far. Planning on making more to go with these.
I finally got around to adding the silver tubing to the hole in these beads. It’s not like it takes a long time to do, just that it’s kind of boring. They do look nice all shiny after being tumbled.
Made some progress with beads making this weekend. Got more square chip beads made. I’m going to try to make them in several colors, never know what colors people like. Also, got a goth girl bead done and practiced some stringer work on the white bead I’m donating to Beads Of Courage.
That’s it until I get something else done. Working on silver coring some large holed beads at the moment…..
Finally got enough beads made to put together a whole whopping two sets.
I did end up with a bunch of beads that didn’t match. Not sure where my head was at when I picked out the colors to use, then found out non of them went together.
Still not making good progress on bead production. Oh well….
More character beads.
Thought this bead would be nice for Beads of Courage but it took way too long to make. Course, it’s the first time I’ve made a bead like this but I doubt I’ll pick up much speed making them. 
Another swirl bead. I’m still getting too many bubbles in the encasing and the swirls are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them right, mostly, not.
Some flower and a heart covered with silver and a stitch on the side. Not crazy about it so I probably won’t be making more.
Still working on beads for the bead show. Not making very good progress. Here’s the latest….
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make the swirl bead. Finally got something that was about right had it not been for so many bubbles I got when I encased the bead in clear. It does look like a marble. Will try more of these in the future. Hopefully with less bubbles.
Got these done over the weekend. Fishy beads!!!
These are on the small side. Like a school of baby fish. I plan on making some bigger too.
More beads. And some new glass cabochon charms that I finished up over the weekend.
Another set of leaf head pin in purple.
Hey, how did that bunny get into the litter?
Couple more chickens….
Glass cabochon charms. They have a loop on the other end so they dangle.
I made some of these last weekend, others I had made and just strung onto string. More beads to sell at the bead show.
Well, not exactly beads but more head pins. I still have a bunch of wires cut to make more too.
A lone chicken and some spacer beads…..let’s move along….
Square disc beads. I like making these and they make stunning necklaces. I need to make more in different colors.
These are some beads I made a while ago and was planning on using them in a necklace but never finished making all I needed. Figure I can just make more. These have enamel and frit on them.
Purple dot beads. The top two rows I used a lighter lavender under the top dots and they look more purple than the beads in the third row. I used a darker purple for those. The bottom row is more veiled cane spacers.
