I’ve got about half the hair sticks done. Still have about 25 more to make. I worked on making some other beads to use on the dangle hair sticks. While I like the flower beads, some people might not. Here’s some thin beads I made last night that I think will work for dangles.
I also assemble more hair sticks.
The black and white kitty kind of looks like Iggy.
And a few more angels.
My friend was asked to make an all etched clear and sterling silver necklace and earrings by a buyer. It’s tough making beads all one color, especially clear. I made the flower beads, she made the rest of the beads and designed the pieces. The buyer wanted lots of dangles.
This is the pendant. The flower looks great cored with silver bead caps. There are tons of dangles too!!
This is one of the earrings. It’s not as big as in the picture. I love all the Lifesaver bead dangles.
I made a few pendants out of some of the glass cabs I made. I was going to use them for a bracelet but these are so cute I want to make more. Now I wish I made a better assortment of cabs so I’d have more of a variety. It will take me a while before I can “borrow” someone’s flat lap grinder to grind more cabs down.
Sorry about the crappy picture. I just can’t seem to take very good pictures when things are too shiny.
I had some leftover beads that I made and they all kind of matched up. I quickly threw this piece together. I made all the murrini used in it.
I finally got enough murrini made for the Candy Jack swap that I signed up for. Here’s the Candy Jack beads I made for it.
Not anything complex as these were the first ones I’ve ever made. Or at least ones that were usable. I had to trash a few that I made. It’s a whole different way to work with colors.
After making the simple bullseye canes, I decided to try something a little more complex so I made a heart cane. It’s still pretty basic but I’m trying.
Yes, I made another one. I think this will the last one for a while. I need to start making other things for the fall craft shows. I’m so behind schedule this year. Guess I’ve been spending too much time making Candy Jack necklaces.
I have to admit when I took the picture, I noticed a crack in the middle dangle so I’m going to have to remake that one. Dud. I thought this one turned out pretty good too.
Yep, it’s another Candy Jacks necklace. This one is in pastel colors and it’s going to be mine. I love these colors, they are some of my favorite glass colors.
I’m officially a murrini addict…..
Are you tired of seeing the same necklaces yet? I made another one in different colors. They are a bunch of fun to make and so easy to thread the beads onto a chain. I still have to make one for me. Mine will probably be made out of all the leftover beads.
I made another Candy Jacks necklace in the same colors as the last one for a friend. They are fun to make, though they take quite a few murrini. I’ve got to start building up my murrini stash which means either making them myself (yuck) or buying them!!
Wishing everyone a fabulous 4th of July!!
I completed enough beads to make my first Candy Jacks necklace. Lots of the murrini are orange/corals so I paired them with different coral colored glass beads and dangles.
