My Beads Came!!!!

They came!!

I am so excited, and I love each and every one of them!

I joined a bead exchange on Lampworketc called

You Pick!

Each of us submitted a picture for inspiration and everyone in our group made a bead based on our photo for inspiration.

Wow!  The results were spectacular!

Take a look at what I received.

The only thing I forgot to do was to show you a copy of my picture.

It came from a JC Penney Catalog, but you'll get the idea.

It's a group photo!

Now for some more organized ones.

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3!

This was really fun and challenging.

The creative juices were flowing!

 

What I Learned in Caitlin Hyde's Class - Some of my class beads

We started out with faces. The face on the left is my class bead. The face on the right is the bead I made when I got home.

Oh, these beads are two sided. Stay tuned for side 2.

Here's side 2.

Skulls. The one on the left I made in class. The one on the right, I made at home.
-------------------------------------->

I've learned that it's all about heat control. I'm working with the smallest flame I have ever used now.















How about a creature?
This--------------------------------->
came about as a result of a doodle. I wanted to make a cell bead. It became a creature.


















It's my first Pixie bead. It's cute, but I like the second one so much better. Remember what I said about heat control? I'm learning. I'm learning!

















Now, this is my favorite. It was my last class bead. Caitlin's conference helped me so much!

Guess who this is?
------------------------------------->


I'm wire wrapping it tonight!








Thank you, Caitlin, your class was excellent!
