For a custom order…..
And a couple of shank buttons…..
Made these for a customer that buys stuff from me every year.
The first pictures shows the whole thing. They are made out of real paracord. All will have split rings but I was too lazy to add them for these pictures. These are supposed to be for guys so I tried to stick with more masculine colors for the beads. I cored the beads with copper tubing.
Trying to get some bead orders done when it’s 90 degrees in the garage is difficult. Can’t take the heat like I used to. Took me days to get these hollows done.
It’s been really hot so I’ve been avoiding going out in the garage where it’s twice as hot as inside the house. Finally had to so I could get some orders done.
A string of chili peppers.
Another set of red and turquoise beads. Used a Lauscha red on this set.
Made a few more sets of these.
It’s been so blasted hot in the garage this summer, it’s hard to work in there. Miss making beads.
These are about as “organic” as I get. I don’t normally do organic well so I usually stay away from it. I have been playing with silver glass more and had some thin stringers sitting on my work bench, thought I’d make a few beads to use them up. Ended up making a set.
