Last of the stash

So here are the last pictures of the bead stash. I realized while I was organizing them and taking the pics, that I am a color junkie. I can open those drawers and just get lost in the colors. (When I was a kid, a bag of M&M's held the same fascination.) I usually do that when my muse has decided to hibernate or take a vacation. It seems that just by looking at the colors and the stones and thinking of color combos will bring that muse just running back to be sure I don't do anything without her. LOL!

Bringing a few older posts with me

I am still on the agate beading kick. This purple one is on a double spiral chain made with SL clear and SL lavender size 15 seed beads, and size 11 purple and clear Miuki seed beads. the peyote bezel also has those beads in it.
I couldn’t decide on the earrings to compliment it, so I did a 2″ long double spiral and connected them with a 4mm crystal bicone to join the ends and made hoops.
I’ve listed them both on etsy and on artfire.

I made this agate slice necklace with beads from SeedBeadSue’s shop. It’s made from silve lined Burnt Orange Delicas, med. topaz and matte topaz, and light topaz Miyuki seed beads. The agate slice is set in a peyote bezel with topaz 15’s added to the above colors and the chain is a simple spiral. It’s a 22″ long chain, so it will just slip over your head.
I made some spiral earrings.

This is a Christmas present for my son’s GF. She loves green the way I love blue, so I’m hoping she likes it.
It’s peyote bezels around 3 malachite cabs hanging on a triple spiral chain made from assorted shades of green seed beads. It has a peyote toggle clasp, too.
I think my motto for a while might be “hooked on spirals works for me”. LOL!

If you want pics, you will have to go to http://dancingwinddesigns.wordpress.com/ . I forgot, with the new computer at work, some of my older pics aren't on the computer anymore. I'll get that fixed soon.
