Last weekend I spent another day at a silver clay workshop. This time it was making beads and findings and I learnt so many new techniques. My sketch book is filling up fast with projects now.
So here are some of the beads I made on the day.
First up, my favourite of the day, a small lentil bead. I just love lentil beads, and this one is tiny at 10mm in diameter.
This textured tube is now on a snake chain as I think it makes a wonderful focal bead at just under 30mm long.
Lastly, my etched pillow bead. Two brilliant techniques, although I do need to refine this one but it’s not bad for a first attempt.
As always, now all I need is time! Bit tricky with the school holidays in full flow as I won’t be getting my usual me time each week.

They are all beautiful, just stunning! The tiny one is especially adorable.
Simply Stunning, I'm Jealous :)
My favourite is the 'textured tube' but they are all lovely. I hope you get time to play during the summer.
Oh Vicki these are all lovely, but the first is my fave! I can't begin to imagine how you make them but you are very clever!! xx
