Beaded Earrings

The next project was these earrings.  It did take me two tries to get the tension the way I liked it, and I ran out of one of the beads, but a quick email to Potomac Beads and they sent me more right away, no charge. The earrings are on one of my cool beading boards that I bought at the last Bead & Button show that I went to in 2018.  There are no more Bead & Button shows.  They cancelled the one in 2020, and the magazine stopped publishing in October of that year.  So now I will have to get my bead fix some other way.  Of course I have lots of beads already, and a number of kits that I need to make up.

Holiday Earrings & Bracelet

I have also been doing some beading.  I ordered a bead Advent Calendar from Potomac Beads and these were the first two projects.  There were some beaded dangles I could have made for the bracelet but they didn’t hang well from the chain so I decided not to do them.  The biggest challenge with the bracelet was just getting everything attached and evenly distributed.  I do like symmetry.
