A Customer Necklace

One of my bead customers mailed me a photo of a necklace she made with one of my beads - it's fantastic, don't you think? I love all the strands to balance out the big bead - and then the surprise that she strung it horizontally - I always think of them as vertical, but that shows you what I know!



You can find this necklace for sale on MC2Works Etsy Shop.

Another Finished Work

I am enjoying getting these photos from Lesley of YaYa Beads, so much! This lovely necklace was created by Dorothy Crawford, of Georgia. It features one of my most favorite Tiger beads, and I think she did a fantastic job showing it off. A great mix of Swarovski crystals, tons of copper, lots of Czech glass, and some very pretty gemstones. I love it! Thanks Lesley and Dorothy!

A Blue Tiger Necklace

Mary Dell is at it again! Remember the topaz tiger necklace from last week or so? Well, here is the blue one. Lesley of YaYa Beads tells me that she hosts a "Just Bead it" day in her shop on Wednesdays, where customers shop around for just the perfect beads and findings to make their designs work, and Mary Dell was in there working on this piece. I LOVE it - it's perfect, don't you think? Thanks for sharing, Lesley and Mary Dell!

Tiger Love!

You know I love to find out what happens to all my beadie babies once they go out into the world, right? Most of the time... I never find out. But! Sometimes I do and it makes my day.

And today is one of those days! Mary Dell Telander bought one of my very fist tiger beads from Lesley at YaYa Beads in Augusta, Georgia. Actually, I hear she bought two of them and there is another necklace coming! Anyway... this is the topaz tiger bead, made into a beautiful long necklace with... what, is that tiger's eye? And copper and oh, I have no idea, but a great selection of stones from cream to caramel to chocolate - perfect! Thanks for sharing, Lesley and Mary Dell!
