I liked the beads on the front of the Bead and Button issue number 74.
I did not have any felt and could not wait to buy some then the gluing of the lavender into them. So I asked Dh to make me some wooden ones about the same size of what the felt ones would be. I have made a few samples and you can see them on my site under beadwork. URL in my sig. line Shirley
Love those, Shirley!!!! I saw the article and thought that I didn't have the stuff to make the, but I guess I could just cut a dowel to fit!! I didn't even think of it!
Shirley, those are lovely. I have the felt, lavender and the beads, but not time. What camera do you use as that is a lovely, detailed photo? Have been making up a beaded. wired vase for a cousin's birthday. Have decided to get my own camera to photograph my work. We share and it is never handy when I want it, as Mike takes it to work.
Cheers, Jan
My camera is a Fuji Fine Pix 6900.
However I just put these beads on the scanner and scanned them.
Can we see pictures of the vase soon. Shirley

Shirley -- those are just lovely. Dr. Sooz makes little teeny tiny beaded beads also -- it always looks like just crazy-making work to me, LOL. Sewing all those little beads together? Insane!!!!
I really admire those who work with seeds.

Your work is awesome!
Thank you very much Carol Shirley

LOVELY, dolling! I so love beaded beads. They're like popcorn -- you can't stop at just one. Your brain races thinking up other color combos and textures. SIGHHHHHH I will unpack soon and have time to BEAD! YAAAYY (I hope) There are so many things I want to bead.
It would be fun to have a beaded bead swap. Maybe a pair, so we could all have earr> I liked the beads on the front of the Bead and Button issue number 74. >
That is a good idea of a beaded bead swap I think these ones maybe a little large for earrings but it is what ever takes your fancy. I thought they would look good as a decoration on a small Christmas tree or a painted branch. I do like the idea of a swap though. Shirley

I guess everyone's beaded beads would be quite different (mine are about 9mm). Suppose you could trade whatever you make, instead of just one bead being the limit. One could choose.
I can't host a swap right now -- I still d> That is a good idea of a beaded bead swap
