I decided to try something different with the dangle ornaments and make a bunch of different sized discs to make up a tree form. Here’s my first attempts.
Christmas Ornaments
I decided to make some shorter ornaments that can actually be used on trees. These are about 3 inches long.
The bigger beads are hollow to make the ornaments lighter.
New Kokeshi Doll Bead Necklaces
I just got these made up with sterling silver findings and pearl and crystal accents.
More Key Chains
I’ve been working on key chains and other dangles. It’s been slow going since I’ve been putting together about one per day. They aren’t hard to assemble but I’ve made so many, it’s kind of routine.
4th Day – Beads Of Courage Beads
I forgot to post the last of the Beads Of Courage beads. These have been sent off to the charity.
Third Day – Beads Of Courage Beads
I made 15 more beads last night. Here’s the goods……
This brings the total to 44 beads this weekend. I think I can get 6 more done and make it to 50 before having to send them off.
Beads Of Courage Beads
I’m spending all weekend making beads for the Beads Of Courage charity. These are the ones I made last night.
The polar bear was in a tutorial and I didn’t want to print out the instructions so I tried making it by memory. It needs more detail and I forgot the tail. I’m going to try another one tonight.
The round fish are new editions. I really wanted to make them flat using my lentil press but I haven’t used a glass press in eons and didn’t want to spend the time mucking with it. Hence, round fish.
The cat and cake beads are from the same tutorial. I had the hardest time remember what a piece of cake looks like and kept putting the “frosting” on the wrong sides. It’s not like I haven’t ate enough cake to remember. Finally got it figure out. Whew….
