Tear Drop Focal beads!!!

Had a fun day on the torch playing with this design. They are really long and tear drop shaped. The blue one I added some fine silver wire to the surface to give it more "Bling" Enjoy. You can find each of these beads listed in my Ebay Shop. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151090913450?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Spring is for making Daisy Chains

In heat of a nice spring day I can recall taking our family dog to the park. I would run and let her chaise me until we had to lay down to rest. I loved looking up at the clouds (Oregon... always one or two) and see all the patterns and designs in them. It never failed at that park that spring would have a patch of daisy weeds growing in the grass.  I could spend a good part of that day making them into daisy chains. And so I am again, day dreaming and making daisy chains. Above is a photo of the first beads in this series I called Daisy Chain,, this set is listed for sale in my Ebay shop this week.
