I’ve never done a picture of them laying flat so while I was lining them up for sizing I took a quick picture to show.
Then because I got tired of making the same beads over and over, I made a few kissy fish beads.

Still working on square chip beads though….
These are sparkly!! Blue aventurine. I didn’t put the black line around them as I wanted the sparkle to shine through. The spacer beads are made out of veiled cane, some dark green with a lighter green core. They really do look more like they are more on the teal side.
I thought I was done making orange beads but I forgot that I plan to make a bunch of square chip beads and what do you know, the first color I picked up was orange.
Actually, these are more coral in color than orange. The other spacer beads are veiled cane. It’s a weird combination, tobacco and opal blue. I think it’s supposed to look like water and rocks and probably looks better on larger beads.
I’m done making orange bead sets. Moving on to another color next. Might be pink, though I probably should make some yellow beads too.
I made up a few gifts for someone that helped me out this week. Nothing big, just some little surprises.
Also got another set of red/opal yellow beads done and some veiled cane orange 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.
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.
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…..
