Beads r Cool

Using Japanese and Czech glass seed beads and recently antique cooper bronze and brass rondelle crimp beads. I think i have a unique product. I use size 10/0 to 15/0 beads. A necklace may have as few as 2000 beads to 3500 beads depending on the size used and the finished length. The beading technique I mainly use is called tubular ndebele or herringbone. I have also been playing around with tubular peyote which gives a different effect. A necklace may take 7-25 hours or more to complete.

Tibetan Curlique Clasp with 4 Bead Colours

New design was hard work with 4 colours. The usual Czech beads in size 11/0. Colours are a matte ruby red, matte brown, matte light topaz and rootbeer for flash. Incorporated a Tibetan Curlique Clasp which gives a nice finish.

A special thanks goes out to Norma of Amron Beads for her secret stash of seed beads. Those interested can see her website http://www.amronjewels.com.au/ and her blog http://amronjewels.blogspot.com/ she has great supplies and special custom made jewellery.
