Hi!

Just a note to let you guys know what's going on in my little bead world. I have a couple of really nice sets on Ebay right. One is a hot little set of chili peppers, really cute. The other is a beautiful olive green set. I hope to post new pictures before it ends. I got a new photo set up and I think the detail will show better. Some more focals up on my site.

Something new for me. An online friend has requested that I make some beads for pendants from her late brother's ashes. Weird? I don't think so. It's a beautiful way to remember your loved one. I have heard of doing this before with family's or pet's ashes but this will be my first time. I hope to do the beads justice and I'll try to post pics.

Christmas is just around the corner (OMG! I am NOT ready!) and a few of you are making beads for jewelry as gifts. I hope you got your butt in gear before I did. I'll have another size of mandrels up next week, 5/32". I have a lot of requests for this size because they fit troll bead bracelets. I'll also have more of the large hole mandrels back in stock, 3/8" and 1/2".

Happy Beading!

Been a while!

I can't believe it's been so long since I posted! Tons of stuff on Ebay right now. I've got some focals and some sets and even some focals starting at 99 cents! I've been on a focal making binge so I have plenty more to put up when I can take pictures. I am waiting for my new photo taking package to get in. There are some wonderful new American glasses with a high silver content out now. The colors are metallic, sparkly and just amazing. The problem is that they are very difficult to photograph. The good news to that is you'll always be pleasantly surprised to find the beads are even prettier in person! Anyway, with my new lights and photo setup the colors should be truer.

I have a very cool set up on Ebay right now, Ristra. I know you've all seen ristras and just never knew what they were called. A ristra is a bunch of chilis strung together to dry. Well I made my own little Ristra with various colored chilis. Here's the link: Ristra.

Happy beading!
