Beads at last!

Well, I’ve been quiet because I’ve been busy making beads!  I have signed up for a trunk show in Sacramento in October so I need to build up my inventory which was nearly depleted.  I probably made 30 beads so far but haven’t had a chance to clean them.  I  thought it would be easier if I piled them up and clean them all at once but I don’t think that strategy is working for me….I spent  all evening removing the beads from the mandrels and …but I still need to clean the bead holes…yikes! Anyhow, I managed to clean just a few…enough to make this bracelet:

And this pig and mouse.

I will take more pictures as I clean the beads…perhaps I’ll be able to do that over this long weekend.
