More Cored Beads

I’m so glad it’s Friday!! Time for some torching this weekend!! I’m still having fun with my Jim Moore bead coring machine. It’s the greatest!! This is a simple necklace made out of brass.

Just right for spring!!

Riveting Pendant

I got a bead coring machine and have been playing around with it. After breaking a few beads, I caught on to how it all works. Makes coring beads so easy. Here’s a pendant I made just to see if I could rivet a bead onto a piece of metal. I think it worked out pretty good, don’t you think?

The metal back is bronze and all the rest is brass.

Dolphin Thingy

I made this for my friend. It’s supposed to be a necklace/rear view mirror hanging thing. I made it so it can hang from anything. My friend likes dolphins. Tom from Sanctuary Glass made the dolphin.

Spring Bracelet

I’ve been making larger beads which make larger and bulkier bracelets. I like the bigger bracelets but I’m not sure if other people do. Some people don’t like heavy things hanging from their wrists. Still, I love to make these bracelets which I call “Pourporri Bracelets” because they are a mixture of beads and colors.
