Pics of my first beads

Good job! Have you played yet with using a stamped image in clay?...even a toy or other household object...verrry fun!

Nope, not yet, but I'm sure I will:)

They look good Candace. Keep up the wonderful work.

Excellent start. Really pretty

Very nice! One of these days I'll get the B&B class beads photographed and we can compare.

There is real potential there. I hope you keep working at it too, your muse is calling...... Diana

Thank you, everyone:)

Cool, cool stuff! Just curious - how huge are the huge tile beads? I can't for the life of me, get flowers like that :)

Cheers, Carla

a tiny bit over an inch long. :)

Thank you, Roxan. Those are BeadNerd beads:)

Me too! Thank you, Carla. I just don't know what to do with them now!

Hmmm...depending on where the holes are, I'd probably just hang them on satin cord, or leather cord.

Or you could just send 'em to me so you don't hafta worry about them, ever again .

Cheers, Carla

The really cool thing (I think anyways) about the roses is that my fingerprints actually add to the overall look of them--rose petals are velvety, and my fingerprints add that element to the beads.

Thats what I think too!!!!! I love making roses like that, and of course there is no way to sand them smooth, but remember making paper roses? well.. maybe not, youre after that time maybe.. but they get crinkled just the way our fingerprints do the clay. I use my roses as ornaments on lots of things but not in jewelry either. They go on picture frames, covered boxes, ornament balls... things where they wont bounce against things. Diana

Do you think a pair of smallish roses would work as dangly earrings? They would only bump the person's neck, and I can't see that being a threat to the fragile petals.
