A Few New Beads on eBay

I listed these tonight on eBay, for a week. They'll end next Thursday.

A few pictures I found

I found these on my computer and thought I'd post them here:




I'll have more beads up on eBay tomorrow, will post some pics then.

New Beads on eBay today

These should be going up around 10PM EST:





And keep an eye out for a few more 99 cent auctions. These are probably the last for a while, so scoop them up while you can!

More 99 cent listings on eBay

I'm trying to start fresh this New Year, so today I relisted some older beads sets starting at 99 cents. Keep an eye out for more in the coming weeks too.

Happy New Year, everybody!

Merry Everything!

Merry Christmas! And happy holidays to those who don't celebrate Christmas!

I listed some Christmas beads on eBay at $0.99 today, they should be up around 10 PM Eastern time.

And on that note (and apologies for my spotty posting) I bid you adieu. I have to go and eat a lot of turkey and pie.

Hmmm, I'm already behind on my blog. Not that I've set a schedule for myself or anything, but I had hoped to post these pictures while the beads were still on eBay. That ship has long since sailed!

At any rate, I wanted to talk about coral. Coral coloured glass, though, not the sea creatures. Apparently, every time they make coral glass at the factory in Italy, it turns out a slightly different colour. As you can see from the picture: yes, those are all coral. Thankfully the glass distributors seem to have caught on and have been giving them different names to differentiate. So if you seem someone talking about peach persimmon coral as opposed to sunny mango coral, they're not on drugs. It's all the Italian's fault.

Autumn Colours

As the weather turns cooler, my thoughts turn more to autumn colours. I tend to make beads in neutral tones, like ivory, greys and browns, and black. I also like to use colours that I think of as "autumn jewels," like apple green, amber, and amethyst purple.

On a clothing front, autumn is time to break out the sweaters and corduroy pants, which inevitably makes me think of textured beads. So I've been making a bunch of those too.

The lozenges above were listed on eBay, ending this Thursday. The textured beads will be slowly added to my Etsy store.
