These are for an order from the craft show. I never know what size to make bracelets as everyone’s wrist is a different size. I usually make things that fit my wrist and that doesn’t cover “one size fits all”. So, I made these in a different size. I’ll bring my pliers just in case I have to make adjustments when I deliver them to the buyer.
The last one I made because I had the beads and components already out. I’ll show the buyer so she has a couple different designs to choose from.
These are a few quilted wall hanging that my mom made.
I’m not a very good picture taker so you have to look really close at the Christmas tree to see the glass snowflakes and the little glass lights that I made for this wall hanging.
It seems like forever since I posted anything. I got done with my last craft show but still have some custom orders to finish up. These are a few things I made to sell at the craft show, just getting a chance to put them up now.
More bottle cap key chains. These are really fun.
Since I sold all the kokeshi doll pendants at my first craft show, I had to make more. These are the ones I used brass chains and findings.
Here’s the plain sterling silver ones. I think I like them with dangles better.
I’m trying to get the last stuff made for the craft show this weekend. I needed to make some cheaper items so I did some zipper pulls and key chains.
Decided to use some of the bottle cap beads for key chains. I’m planning on making a few more of these.
Couple of skulls on a round bead. Not sure how popular these will be with my customers.
Rice ball zipper pulls. The last one is the backside of them. They are all the same except for the face. I can never get the mouth on evenly.
More zipper pulls. Mochi trees seem to be popular. Not sure why.
I used some of the ginkgo leaf beads I made last week in these pins.
I kind of like them.
Still not sure what I’m going to do with these. They are kind of fun to make.
On the two bottom ones, I used this Loetz gold powder and it’s supposed to make it have a metallic look. I got some metallic but when they are held up to the light, it just looks dirty. Probably won’t be using it again for these leaves.
In glass, of course. My friend made some gingko leaf pendants out of polymer clay and wire. I thought they were cute and decided to try them out of glass.
Still need some work. I’m going to have to study some real leaves closer.
Yep, I’ve been finishing up a lot of stuff this weekend to prepare for my first craft show. These are pictures of all the flat organic disk beads.
All laid out flat. I like all the different colors in them and the irregular shape. This is probably the closest I will come to making “organic” style beads.
Here they are stacked. I finally figured out how to get the little silver specks on the beads.
I made another similar to one I made before. This one has bigger beads and sari ribbon as the fiber.
I made these beads up earlier this year. I’m finally getting around to making them into necklace. These I used brass components.
