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.
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.
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. 
I made this necklace to match the bracelet I got from Tracy Bell. She makes the most awesome jewelry. Some of her jewelry features found objects like seashells and buttons and she combines silver, copper, brass and glass in her pieces. Check her work out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/tracybell.
I made this last summer when the weather was too hot for torching.
Two different views. The bottom bead is a big disk with a flower bead on top, then a round bead. They are set together with a screw. The metal is nickel silver. It’s finished with a leather cord for the necklace.
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!!
I got a bead coring machine and have been playing around with it. After breaking a few beads, I caught on to how it all works. Makes coring beads so easy. Here’s a pendant I made just to see if I could rivet a bead onto a piece of metal. I think it worked out pretty good, don’t you think?
The metal back is bronze and all the rest is brass.
Yep, I got one of Rich Shelby’s marbles. That would be richsantaclaus to all the LE’ers. He graciously sent this to me in exchange for some glass cigar tubes and glass rod shorts. I got the better deal.
I made this for my friend. It’s supposed to be a necklace/rear view mirror hanging thing. I made it so it can hang from anything. My friend likes dolphins. Tom from Sanctuary Glass made the dolphin.
