my very first swirl beads.. (it would be ad if i was selling them:D)

They are great, I didn't know you made beads!!

well, why would i be here then?:) i make jewelry mostly from my own beads:) but they are not very fancy:/ well, will be one day, i hope:)

Now now, this group is for bead-lovers of any sort, not just bead makers!

Heck, I don't even make jewelry, I just love beads, and I'm here every day!!

eh, I don't make beads, I grow beads. (Much less control over how they turn out ...) I'm here too.

I looked at yours, and I like them.

(I think my current creative streak comes at least partly from looking at everybody's beads and jewelry, so thanks to all of you)

well, i didnt mean that:)) why dont you make jewelry if you like beads?:D

Very nice!

I'm just weird, I guess. I don't care for wearing jewelry, it distracts me. I made jewelry for a little while a few years ago, but the process didn't appeal to me - I wasn't having fun making it, and I couldn't wear what I did make, so I quit. But nonetheless I'm strongly drawn to beads. I love miniature and sparkle in general; plus lampwork artistry, in particular, pulls at my heart. Add to that the fact that I "know" the artist, and I just can't resist! So here I am, with my very small, very expensive, pile of tiny artwork, perfectly delighted.

Very nice - I like them. Are they glass or polymer?
