Still making beads. I forgot to post these last week so here they are now.
Few More Beads
The last of the beads I made this weekend.
Finally got enough blue beads made to make up a set of them. Still have a bunch leftover so I’ll be making more blue beads in the near future.
Still working on big hole beads with dots. It’s hard getting the dots the right size and in the right places. I’m used to making them on small beads. I need a lot more practice. Way more.
A Bunch Of Beads
I can’t seem to concentrate on one set of beads recently. I’m all over the place. Here’s what I made this weekend.
These are BIG beads. I used a 3/16″ mandrel so they have big holes too. I’m going to make more with different designs.
Flower beads. I like using these, hoping other people will like them too.
I bunch of blue beads. I was on my way to make a set of blue beads but got side tracked so all I have is some plain blue beads so far. Planning on making more to go with these.
Few More Beads
Made some progress with beads making this weekend. Got more square chip beads made. I’m going to try to make them in several colors, never know what colors people like. Also, got a goth girl bead done and practiced some stringer work on the white bead I’m donating to Beads Of Courage.
That’s it until I get something else done. Working on silver coring some large holed beads at the moment…..
Slim Pickings
Finally got enough beads made to put together a whole whopping two sets.
I did end up with a bunch of beads that didn’t match. Not sure where my head was at when I picked out the colors to use, then found out non of them went together.
More Sculptural Beads
Still not making good progress on bead production. Oh well….
Thought this bead would be nice for Beads of Courage but it took way too long to make. Course, it’s the first time I’ve made a bead like this but I doubt I’ll pick up much speed making them. 
Another swirl bead. I’m still getting too many bubbles in the encasing and the swirls are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them right, mostly, not.
Some flower and a heart covered with silver and a stitch on the side. Not crazy about it so I probably won’t be making more.
Beads!!
Still working on beads for the bead show. Not making very good progress. Here’s the latest….
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make the swirl bead. Finally got something that was about right had it not been for so many bubbles I got when I encased the bead in clear. It does look like a marble. Will try more of these in the future. Hopefully with less bubbles.
Fish Beads
Got these done over the weekend. Fishy beads!!!
These are on the small side. Like a school of baby fish. I plan on making some bigger too.
