Taking a jewelry break... to work on something whimsical

New faces in progress

What's cooking in Murphy's pot?
Beaded dolls and teddy bears! :-)

I also picked u...

Playing around with Beaded Beads

Beaded Beads Game

Now I know why so many Beaders are making these beaded beads...they are fun! :-)
The Hendaia bead (the first one from the end of the longer rope) is a design by Cloclotiti and the Cedra bead (the second one from the end of the longer rope) is a design by Pencio.
I love them!

Pencio and Cloclotiti,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful diagrams!
Merci beaucoup pour partager votre merveilleux schémas! :-)

I wanted to make something different than just stringing the beads, so I started...

Double & Triple Clasp Connectors Tuto :-)

Double & Triple Clasp Connectors

A while back I had a request and I promised I was going to make a tuto for my triple toggle clasp.
The tuto I made shows a double connector ( this is what I need at the moment for my project), but the process for the triple is exactly the same and hopefully it will be easy to make by following the diagram and the pics.

If you need help, just holler. ;-)

No, just Vertigo which is an inner ear imbalance that cause me to see double & can't walk well. It is getting better. I have to work tonight. I was able to work on a new project tonight, so my eyes are working a whole lot better.
