Gemi's Revisited

I've made gemi's many times, on several different base colors.  I'm continually amazed at the different colors that show up under the bubble of clear.  The -5 set is on transparent topaz, with green tints.  The -3 set is on lavender, and the colors range from pinks, to blues, to greens.  The -6 set is on transparent amethyst, and the colors are greens and aquas.  Click on the photo to see a larger image.  The large size is $8 each, the small is $4 each.

Puffins, Parrots, Birds - Oh My!

These are a hoot to make - hmmm, maybe I need to try an owl.  The original was born from a Jennifer Geldard tutorial, and flew off from there.  A bird and 4 coordinating spacers is $25.  Click the photo for a close-up look at their adorable faces.

Kismet Lentils

Something quite new for me, all lentils.  The design is courtesy of tutorials I bought from Radiant Mind, who in addition to selling great tutorials, offer lots of their own wonderful beads, so give their Etsy site a look.  These lentils debuted at my trunk show at Stony Creek Bead.  They're mostly a bit smaller than a quarter, priced at $8 each.  Click the photo to enlarge.  It just takes a few, spaced with some silver or copper beads and some coordinating nuggets (see the photo below this one) to make a fabulous bracelet.

331-1 through 331-7
















They look fabulous paired with these nuggets.  A set of 6 is $5.  These are tiny!

Thanks to the great tutorials that Michael Barley and Jennifer Geldard make available, these are some fun sets I've made.  I like these focals - not too big, and quite colorful.  Each one is different.  Click for a close-up.
