Word Beads

These word beads are so much fun!  I had some stamps made with a variety of words and karma is one of my favorites!  The organic beads are super fun as well.  Here's to good living!  Thanks for looking!

Ocean Blue Sculpted Bead and Paracord Bracelet

I've been making sculpted beads to use in the paracord bracelets I've been making.  I'm a pretty solid fan of using dark brown for a lot of the earthy colored beads.  Sometimes I forget that people like to wear jeans and that many times, the colors in the beads look great with a blue cord.  This bead has some pretty ocean blue colors in it and also some hand drawn or etched in designs.  It was sanded and buffed to this shine.

I'm always trying to find fun paracord colors to use with my beads.  I will order or pick up many shades of colors and this blue is just different.  I call it my ocean blue!  Thanks for looking!

Faux Turquoise Pendants

I made some faux turquoise pendants with the bear bead batch.  I gave a couple of these away as gifts.  I hardly every have to run out for a gift!  Another good reason to make things!  You will always have gifts and can trade items as well.  Really, these can be trade beads!

Bear Paws and Sketches

I was at a show and talked to several folks about bead designs.  Some suggestions were bear paws, elk prints, moose heads and the lotus.  I sketched out some designs and hand sculpted stamps and then mixed the polymer clay and made the beads.  I sanded these, but did not buff them.  I like how this color looks with the darker imprint.

When the clay is sanded and not buffed, it has a nice matte finish.  I make many of the beads two sided so you can wear them either way.
