More trees and an orange dangle ornament……
The one on the left is going to end up as a necklace. I have no holiday jewelry so I thought a tree would be nice to wear.
Colorful Christmas Trees
I decided to try some trees using different colors to pizzazz them up a bit. Here’s a few that I just finished up.
The one on the left that looks crooked really isn’t. I used some red and goldstone, along with different colors of green and silver glass frit. These are “happy” trees.
More Christmas Trees
I got three more trees done. These look almost the same as the last ones but all are a bit different.
I’ve got another set of them to come. That is if they work out. I’m trying some different colors which might not look that great when I start assembling them.
Christmas Trees!!
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.
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.
Key Finders
I added some beads to these key finders. I thought these were the last four I had but I noticed I have about 20 more sitting in a drawer so I’ll probably make a few more.
Cell Phone Charms and Zipper Pulls
I always make a bunch of these to sell. I usually make the beads during the year so I’m not manically trying to make a bunch at the last minute. I’m finally getting around to making them up into cell phone charms and zipper pulls. Here’s the results.
Starting out with the miscellaneous ones first. I think I need to make more cupcakes. Not sure how popular they still are but a few more wouldn’t hurt.
Mochi trees. I don’t know what they are called in Japanese.
I had these leftover from another project and thought they worked out well for cell phone charms. I really like gingko leaves.
I plan to do more like this one. This was supposed to be more like Tim Burton’s Christmas Jack but it didn’t turn out looking like it. Oh well….
Fishies!! I have one of these hanging from my cell phone bag. It’s been there for over a year and I’m amazed the feathers don’t get messed up. I guess since they are real and come off of real birds they must be somewhat durable.
I’ve got more to make with more than one bead. Hopefully I’ll have those assembled by next weekend.
