Bead Hoarders Blog Hop

SO... today is the day for Lori Andersons " Bead Hoarder's Blog Hop".  As always, Lori has tantilized our imagination after our Bead Soup Blog Party for one additional Blog Hop for all of those Bead Hoarder's out there........  Way to go Lori!

It was a tad difficult to contemplate " Bead Hoarding " as a Bead Embroider.  But as I positively adore working in Vintaj Brass, I gave it a go:


The first piece is a lovely Sea Design from sunny Florida, using Vintaj Brass and a few odd's and end beads I have had stashed in the closet.  Sea Blue of course.
This piece was inspired by a article in Stringing, and it just took off with Charms and Vintaj Brass pieces.  My first go with my new Bail Pliers.

Secondly,


A Five Strand RAW ( Right Angle Weave ) piece.  This bracelet was due to a miss order where I ended up with ( 300 ) Three Hundred 4mm Bicones of the wrong color..... LOL!  I just could not send them back, so TaDa......a five strand bracelet that sit's charmingly on the wrist.  

And Lastly,


I had recieved a charming crucifix as a gift and had just ordered a lovely rosary chain.....  I could not be happier.

I hope you'll pour some coffee, pull up your footstool and enjoy visiting the following " Bead Hoarders" as they WOW you with their newest treasures for their Hoarded Stash.  Thank you Lori for allowing us to play
with our beads and I look forward to our next adventure.

  21. Thank you all for your lovely comments...I love how this miss-order turned out. Maybe, fate was with me. I've just completed a three strand in sea blues and I know I'll have to make more of those being in Florida.

    Thanks again to all of our incredible artists.

  25. I love them all, but that cross is REALLY speaking to me. I wore a tiny cross the entire time I was in the military overseas, and my MAKURaku cross I showed in my stash is going to be hung in my house. Lovely work!

    Thanks, too, for being kind about my being late in hopping. I hope you'll participate again!
