Canes

Leaf Canes

 

I love bright colors and lots of contrast. These will go with many of their friends into earrings like the one above. These are pretty close to actual size. Most are made using Skinner blends. So many combinations possible! I can't stop!

 

What I learned
With leaves, the more contrast, the better. When I used colors that were close to each other, they all appeared to be one color. Blah!

Sparklies

I sold the first pair of these right outta my ears! Wow!

 

What I learned:

 Keeping jump rings round is harder than it looks. Make the slices as thin as possible to allow them to lay flat.

These leaves are taking over my life! This is a group of beads on wire just to keep them together for now. It's about 17" long. I will be adding other beads when I decide what I want to add. I'd like to make it about 22" long.


What I learned:

Remember which way you want the beads to orientate

when you put the holes in and you won't have to make a second set.
