KALEIDOSCOPES....

I've been having fun making kaleidoscopes the past few months & I'm getting pictures ready for listing them on Etsy. Just finished these pictures...... I thought this was a pretty cool looking kaleidoscope & these pictures really  made me fall for it all over again.

Am I allowed to tell you that I messed up when I was making it.... notice that the dots are a different color than the scrollwork? I grabbed the wrong glass... they looked the same in stringer form, for some reason, but obviously they're different. I really like it, though...... a true one-of-a-kind collectors item, I'm sure. :o)

Check it out. (click on images to enlarge)

.....it'll be listed on Etsy tomorrow.

Till then.....

BEAD & BUTTON & BEYOND....

Well.... The Bead & Button Show was a great success.... always a great time, I love to interact w/ customers & I especially love catching up w/ friends.

I really went crazy getting inventory ready for the show, so I came home w/ plenty of product to stock my Etsy shop w/... so that's what I've been doing since I've been home.
Plenty of acorns....

some fabulous large hole beads....

some gorgeous heart beads....

heart bead keys....
