What I did last week!

Are these Not a Lovely Bunch!

Felt the urge to get in to a bit of beading this week .

I went down to my favorite bead shop and tried not to spend more than a large trolly costs at Woolies.

I thought I was quite restrained, so much so I will be back next week to get some more.
Will be listing these creations at TheDustCollection on Etsy when I get around to working out how much they should be and take some good photos.

 These Reder than Red Faceted Glass Roundels are just so lush and rich I had to start here.

 Made this nice 3 strand number...Sits really  neat on the neck..I wore it out yesterday..Just to test it..

 More faceted Glass Roundels.

These are a lovely aquamarine colour with a AB coating.

 Made these in to nice single strands..

They remind me of that great colour you get in glass from the beach..

You know after it has been washed up and rolled around on the sand..

but these are much more bright with the AB coating ...

 Some of the Darker Shades.

In the next photo you can see the Vintage 2 strand clasp I put them on ..I have had these for a long time .I really like to use them ..They add a great Vintage feel to the faceted Glass styles..

 This is a 2 strand graduated necklace...i love the black ...like Victorian mourning beads..Goth and ladylike mixed in to one...
I  had to re-thread this a few times to get it right..Thats always a pain in the bum ..but well worth it in the end.
This is a great example of why I like faceted glass beads they look so bright and sharp ..it is a very formal classic look.

 Some tinny spoons .....Havent decided What to do with these yet?

 Another pre-loved component .

Some more bits I havent decided what to do with yet??

I love these Resin beads ..The colour is strong and Bright.

 I hand knotted these on silk thread..the colours to match the beads ..I love them like this it makes them very wearable ..

 Some simple matching earrings...Oxi Sterling Hooks..
