Well it's almost Mother's Day, not my favorite day of the year but I do have a few favorite memories of it. When we lived in Kamloops and the kids were around 4 and 9 we went to Art Knapps to look at plants, still one of my favorite things to do. So the picture I have of beads is sorta like Mother's Day, sad and filled with flowers. All but one of these beads cracked.
When a flower goes bad you just swirl it around.
And lastly some more bi-cones
I just added a new bead to my Etsy Shop. I call it "Silver Lining". With the Spring weather we have been having I really was looking for a little Sun and that Silver Lining in the clouds.
This is the other side.
I had a jewellery designer friend helping me improve my wire wrapping skills so I have a new Lampwork Bead Key Ring to show you. I used a heavy gauge copper wire which was more difficult to work with but will give the added strength needed in a key ring.
Well here we are in May. Yesterday was sunny and warm and the 1st half of today was warm but now we are back into clouds and it looks like rain. And I'm not looking very happy at all!
But I do have 2 new bracelets. The first one is a Queen sized one. It's called Pebbles and Pearls.
The 2nd on is called Sahara because it reminds me of antique ivory.
I really like this bi-cone. I used some shards from my friend Deronda.
A few more bi-cones from yesterday.
Well it's April 25 and it's still cold outside. The Apple trees are trying so hard to bloom they just need a few warm sunny day.
I have a bunch of new beads. I have been making bi-cone beads. It's a fun shape so I think I have some more in me.
