Woodland Necklace – day 249

Introducing the baby cocoon beads!  They are so small compared to our paper cocoons which is about 3 inches long.  I had fun putting the Woodland Necklace together, and I love the finished piece.  You put it on as you welcome spring or summer or don it on a dreary winter to chase the grey [...]

If Only I Could Talk Bead – day 248

If Only I Could Talk Bead – day 248

It’s not always that we find words on our beads, so to solve that problem you can cut out words and paste it on your bead.  Choose nice words from junk mail, old books, magazines, cut it out and just apply it onto already made bead.

Fringed Hoops – day 243

Fringed Hoops – day 243
