a little friend

While searching through the many beading tutorials by My Daily Bead, I came across this little fella :) and decided to make a beaded penguin!

The tutorial originally called for bicone beads... but I didn't want to use mine up right away. So I opted for round beads for the body. It's a fairly easy tutorial. And only takes about 15-20 min.

May showers, bring May flowers :D

 Excuse my being away for so long... I havent gotten around to making anything lately.  However, it is 23 degrees out and things are starting to warm up. Lately we have been having rain, rain and more rain, nonstop, so this is a wonderful change. I have to telly you that May showers also bring May flowers. Including this one...




It is a beaded necklace. I used a variety of beads; purple, white, silver... I love this necklace. It is fairly long. I just love the pewter flower pendant also!

Charcoal and Champagne :)

These earrings are so cute ;) They are made with glass charcoal 4mm bicones, and champagne Chinese Crystal ones of the same size. I used two "bubbled" coin beads to complete the earrings :)
