Of course there’s another. I can’t make just one thing and move on to the next. This one is black and white. Guess it’s kind of dark to be an ornament but I like the contrasting colors.
This one is a little over 6 1/2 inches long.
A Little Late – An Ornament
Well, kind of. This is my prototype for dangle type ornaments. It’s made out of several beads, the three big beads are hollow. All the beads are threaded onto a stainless steel mandrel and a glass end cap is glued on. This one turned out too dark and even though I used different colors for the hollow beads it’s hard to tell. Next time I’ll go a few shades lighter.
It’s six inches long.
More Key Chains
Still making stuff for my last craft show. The goth girl beads seem to be a big hit so I made three more key chain.
The nice thing about making the key chains or key finders is I get to use my leftover beads from previous projects. They start building up and don’t really go with anything. It’s kind of fun looking through my stash to find beads I’ve made a long time ago that will work.
Replenishing Keychains and Key Finders
Just been trying to get more things made that I sold a lot of at the last craft show. There are more cell phone/zipper pull charms or key chains and key finders.
These goth girls are new beads. I kind of like making them. Their hair can go any which way.
More rice ball charms. They always sell out.
New Keychains and Key Finders
I sold some key chains and key finders at the last craft show. Thought I’d make more up for the next one. 
Key Finders – These hang off the side of a purse so the beads hang on the outside.
Regular key chains. I have to make more zombie girl beads.
Metal Hair Sticks
Some customers have asked for metal hair sticks. I totally forgot that I bought some this year. I found them when I was packing my stuff up for the craft show. I made the beads last night and assembled them this morning. They are really easy to put together.
These would also work out well for sweater or lacy scarf holders too.
Early Christmas
My mom made these yo-yo Christmas trees. They are different sized yo-yos threaded onto a steel mandrel that I made a glass star on the top.
I think they turned out pretty cute considering I don’t usually like stuff made out of fabric yo-yos.
Last Little People Figure
This is the last one I plan to make for a while. I like making them but need to move on to other things. Plus, they start looking all the same to me. Taking a break will be good as I tend to come up with new ideas/designs if I stop making something for a while. I also want to try adding wire hair and glass bead arms. Have to get that all engineered in my head first.
I really like this bouncy figure. Maybe it’s the colors.
Little People With Legs
I was able to finish up the two Little People figures with the three legs tonight. I thought I wouldn’t have enough components made but fortunately it all worked out.
I really like the one on the right and want to keep it for myself but I already have 5 of them and that’s all that will fit on my shelf that the cats can’t get to. I want to make one more for another friend and this will be all I make for the time being.
Bouncy Little People Figures
After the raffle of my Little People figures at the Beads Of Courage event, a couple people asked me if they could buy some figures since they didn’t win them. As I said before, I’m not selling these. Fortunately, the people that want them belong to my play day posse. (yes, that’s what we call our group) We have most of our play days at their houses and we use all their equipment – which is way more than I have so I get to play with hydraulic presses, rolling mills, and the flat lap grinder to name a few. I am really grateful that we all get together, share ideas, supplies, projects and techniques and very happy they like my figures. So, I’m making two more sets of them so they can have a pair each. I got enough components done to make two of the bouncy ones.
I still have the three legged ones to make. Will be working on more components tonight.
