I’m having so much fun making larger beads. I hardly ever make focal type beads and while these really aren’t focal beads, they are bigger than my norm. Guess I was kind of in a green mood when I made these. Kind of strange since I don’t like green.
Sticking With It
Since I’ve been coring beads with copper bead caps and copper tubing, sticking with the bead stick theme, I’ve make these bead sticks.
I love working with copper. It’s affordable and adds color to my pieces.
More Cored Big Hole Beads
I finally got these cored. I used copper bead caps and copper tubing.
First bead is DH Clio, second, third and fourth beads are make with a clear base, then rolled in silver leaf and frit, then encased. The green one has silver dots randomly on it. The last on is another DH Clio bead.
Silver Metal Clay Bead Stick
I made this a while ago and since I have nothing new to post this weekend, this was the best thing I came up with. The bead stick is made out of metal clay. The picture shows the front and back of the stick. The silver beads are made out of metal clay too. The purple beads are furnace glass from Mingo and Asho. These glass beads are awesome!! I made the black and white dot bead.
Unproductive Weekend
Not feeling that great this weekend, caught a cold. Didn’t really get anything made this weekend, just cored a bead that I had sitting around and tumbled some copper rings. 
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!!
