Playing with beads.
As you can tell by my last post, I was playing with my "Bucket o' Beads" yesterday. I have an assortment of beads, most of which don't match, so pulling out enough matching beads to make sets was a bit of a challenge. I put two more sets together (in addition to the one I already posted), and I think they turned out ok. The first set was easy... just used some crystals, assorted brown/gold beads, a few silver beads, and a cute little star that was sitting there lonely in the mix.
I think these look prettier than they do in the picture... my lighting wasn't very good for either of these shots.
The second set was a little odder. I had five of these brown and cream flat discs, and some flat amber beads. I combined them with some round balls to make a wider, flatter stitch marker. Not quite sure if I like these, but I like the colors.
They're definitely unique. I need to get some more beads and make more, I think. Maybe I can sell some down at my LYS.
