These are some beads I made and was just wondering if anyone actually likes them? BF doesn't, but that kind of things really isn't his style. The tallest one is 1.5" long and the holes run right through the middle.

While they are not my personal style I can readily imagine others who would find many uses for them quite joyfully. I think you ought to find others who like them pretty easily.

Woah. Very interesting. Very unusual. I *love* the color. People who like lots of texture will probably love these. Great job!

Thanks, I thought they were interesting. They're made with Tyvek, which melts then goes solid over heat. They're painted first with fabric paint then wrapped round something and bound with metallic thread... then... MELTED! Woo hoo! I get to burn stuff! I can't wait till I can get stuff for lampworking one day!

Heheheheh.... Charlie, you're SO cute! It's kind of interesting in that they reminded me of lampwork beads when I first saw them. They are very much to my liking, and I think melting ANYTHING for the sake of art is cool. LOL!

Very nice and interesting items and I do like them. I wonder... are there any other pyromaniacs among us? LOL

I love that texture. A few smaller sizes and you'd have a really great set. It's such an interesting technique -- I think an organic color palette would look really cool, too.

Good luck! Jennifer

Gee, why do you think the lampworkers REALLY do what they do? Getting paid to play with fire all day sounds like fun!

Charlie, these beads, or some like it, would go perfectly with another vessel necklace I've been commissioned to make (my very first piece that someone's paying me for...) can you teach me how to make them?

Sure... will email a reply direct.

Charlie.

just realised that, just let me know if you'd like the pages scanned or just the instructions by mailing me! :-) I'll get on it tomorrow - it's a bit late now!

Charlie.

I like them very much. The color and the texture. How durable are they?

Tina

They're very solid... unless you melted them. Mwa ha ha ha ha...

Charlie - I think they are WAAYYY Cool!!!! Keep it up.

It's never easy reaching for your dreams, but those who reach, walk in stardust.

Would water hurt them> What if younwore them in the shower by mistake?

Charlie: Tyvek is toxic when heated ... I used to use it when I stamped. I used to heat it with my heat gun, and it would shrink. Couldn't figure out where the headaches (unlike my migraines) stuffy nose and coughing were coming from.

Be careful with it...well ventilated area!!!
