AD - Encased Floral Seashells

Hi Y'all,

I know I don't usually list beads on Mondays but I made these over the weekend and was too excited to wait until Friday! I've combined two things that I just love about glass into one bead. Encased Floral Seashells!! I thought I would make some single focal beads to soothe my B.A.D.D., also known as Beadmakers Attention Deficit Disorder. I'm just thrilled with the way they turned out and hope you will be too!

Why don't you click on over and take a peek....

I love them. I am slowly coming to the end of my seashell set, I really cherish the ones I still own!

Sorry about the noise in the shrubs last night, but do you have to keep putting your flower pots out there?

Ooh, the green one!!! They are all so pretty, but the green is my favorite. I haven't even begun to consider doing those florals. I can barely place dots evenly! Awesome work Missy, as always!

Thanks Su!

Well, I don't know about a piano, but I could probably hold a hairbrush!....LOL!!! (Did I just say that?)

And since you're spending so much time in the shrubs outside of my studio, perhaps I should put a lounge chair out there for you!

Thanks Cheryl! The whole reason I wanted to try glass beads was to make encased flowers. I tried one my first time at the torch, and every day thereafter until I could get it right. It took 3 months before I could make one without smearing the flowers!!!!

Thanks Katie! You know me....I just had to try one with raku! Now if I could just get my Kronos and Olympia Rain to sing for me like that.......

Awwww....Thanks sweet Sooz! Hey, are you all settled into the new house yet?

LOL, I was thinking I could go as far as the hairbrush AND the curling iron.

Yes please but a comfy one, not those icky ones with the straps that make your behind look like a waffle iron has attacked it.

And a table, some lemonade and an umbrella?

And can you move the drapes just a bit, I can't see the torch.

Maybe I could leave a trail of beads leading INTO the studio so I could get you to actually come inside! Beaders Bait! =o)

Oh, and make sure the curling iron isn't plugged in!!!

Um, well... reluctantly I could be persuaded with a BIG trail of beads. :-D

Silly, I have one of those portable Braun curling irons.... OUCH!

All joking aside, I love seeing what you make, each time it's just so unusual. You're one of my beady heroes.
