I apparently haven't found my niche yet. I like everything that has to do with beading (except seed beads because I don't have the patience). We all have so many different things that we like. Why must we choose? I'll show you what I've been busy working on lately and you'll see what I mean.
I got a little creative with some of those backgrounds. :) Art beads are, of course, the most impressive and the most fun to work with. I hope you had a chance to visit the
Beads-of-Clay Open Studio on Sunday. There were some major buys and lots of prizes. I'll be showing off what I purchased soon. But until then, here's a few items I made with
Gaea's ceramic beads.
I can't say enough good things about her beads. The glazes are amazingly rich! And so many different creatures and whimsical items to choose from.
I also made some "magical" earrings. Oh yes, magical. They grant wishes. Well, I wish they did. These are made from the
canteloupe Swarovski crystals that change colors depending on what type of lighting they are in.

All of these pretties will be going into the
Bei Mondi shop and
Etsy in the next few days.
I've got my earrings ready for the exchange but I'm waiting on the "extras". Every gift needs some extras, right? "Mr. Postman, where are you? My friend needs her stuff."
I'll leave you with the music of Regina Spektor. Her voice and piano playing captures my heart and won't let go!
