Honu - Turtle

Photobucket

This is my interpretation of the sea turtles. I was lucky to see them up close. The first time I went snorkeling I was swimming for a long time and thought I was not going to see a turtle when all of the sudden a giant turtle swam about 10 feet from me. I was frightened at first but I suppose the very gentle movement made me feel at ease. They are so peaceful. The next time I saw them I felt much more comfortable. I like to keep a nice distance so I can watch them without disturbing.

Perfectly Pink

Photobucket
This beads were made with pink glass, rolled in pink frit and etched. This is another set that soon will be a necklace. I am just waiting for the silver wire I ordered to arrive so I can wire wrap them. I will share the pictures when it's ready.

My Favorite Bead Show


Last Saturday I went to a Bead Show and came back with a bounty. Although there weren't that many vendors this time, I found very nice things that will keep me busy for some time. I bought a few strands of Agate, Onyx and Jade. I will post the pictures of the finished jewelry as I make them.

Capped and Lined bead



I finally tried lining a bead and I am very pleased with the results. I cut the circles with a disc cutter and textured them with stamps. Then, I cut the tubing, assembled the bead and flared the edges with help of my dapping tools. I finished it off with the riveting hammer and voila! I have a capped and lined bead!

I am definitely making more of these!!!
