A couple more in some new colors.
The left one is more purple. The one on the right I was hoping the color would be more transparent so I could layer other colors underneath but it’s definitely an opaque white.
Pinky Purple Hollow Bead
I made these bead a while ago, then realized I didn’t have the right color of anodized aluminum to make the bead caps. Ordered some, waited two weeks for it, never got it, had to call the company and they sent out a new package. This one is pinkish purple with pink microbeads filling the inside.
Two different views. It’s cored with sterling silver tubing and the glass is veiled cane so it has striations in it.
Back To Big Hole Beads
These are a few I finished last weekend.
Left is a painted bead with sterling silver bead caps and cored with sterling silver tubing. The right one has enamels, frit and a line of purple around the middle. The bead caps are brass, cored with sterling silver tubing.
Leather and Big Hole Bead Bracelet
I bought some corded nappa leather a while ago and never got around to using it. It’s a double wrap around bracelet with a magnetic clasp. I want to see how the beads move around, it they drop to the back of the bracelet or stay on top. It’s going to get worn next week to try it out.
I added some sterling silver beads in between the cored beads for more bling.
More Hollow Beads
Made two more hollow beads filled with microbeads.
Both are made out of veiled cane glass so they have striations throughout the glass. The have been filled with tiny microbeads and capped with anodized aluminum bead caps, then cored with sterling silver tubing.
More Hollow Beads
I got this clear hollow made up into a necklace. It has red microbeads inside and the bead caps are anodized aluminum.
This next one turned out kind of large and I got a few bubbles in it. Not sure what I’m going to do with it yet. I thought the color would turn out more red but it’s definitely orange.
Green Hollow Bead Necklace
I know it’s green. I accidentally cut the bead caps in reverse. I meant to have the black on top and the green on the bottom so only a little rim of green would show. Since that didn’t happen, I filled the bead with green microbeads.
Blue Hollow Bead Necklace
Another hollow bead made with blue veiled cane. It has some lines in the glass that are different colors. I filled the bead with thin microbeads and strung it on a sterling silver chain. A few pearls finish the piece.
Another Hollow Bead Necklace
I finally got a clear hollow made. I tried filling it with different medias but nothing was looking good. Finally settled on some gold glitter. Finished it with brass end caps. Put it on a copper bead stick that I made a while ago along with some beads.
This glitter is a bit chunkier than other glitters I’ve used. Kind of looks like tiny bits of real gold.
Also, more kitty beads…..
