Components: The last photo shows from left to right, freshwater pearls, lapis, apatite, rose quartz, hematite, freshwater pearl, pink freshwater pearl, hessonite, turquoise, freshwater pearl, hessonite, dalmatian jasper, garnet. I used vintage freshwater pearls and hematite and garnets (both about 3mm) then I went on to tiny turquoise (2.8mm) and some dalmatian jasper. For size reference, the rose quartz and dalmatian jasper is about 4.2mm. Parawire 24g and 26g in antique brass. Artistic Wire, 26g. 1mm elastic cord in clear. And, choose your favorite tiny treasures here during the sale to get some Christmas presents made! You could get the chakra mix 4mm round and make several to stack! You may need more that one strand of those if you want a size 8 or larger of the specific colors/stones. Or, the 4mm blue kyanite, those would be perfect! Go to gemstone beads and sort by shape, round, then choose the smallest sizes. ALL of those are on sale this week! I bet some of the Czech glass rounds would work, too.

Components: Lots of Czech glass beads from here (LB) and there. 4ply Waxed Irish linen, Light Rust (LB), and some patinaed (LB) and other metal beads. Copper and Gold plated ear wires. I love the tulips. But then, I love a lot of the Czech beads.

Components: Czech Glass Matte Blue Opal Picasso Ring 18mm here at LB, vintage brass plated acrylic coin beads, ear wires, eye pins, oval jump rings; Golem Studio small lentil Sun design - red & green, bronze wire, sari silk

Components: Lots of Czech glass beads. I love the gaspeite colors and the greens in the etched bicones. A lot from LB, some from other places. Oh, Sage green Irish Waxed linen and a tierracast link and a clasp all from here at some point. I tried to patina it to go with the tube bead in brass and patina, but that was a failure. Do you know that there was a very slight bronze coating on top of a silver metal? Yeah, I didn't know it till I tried to sand some of the patina off.

Components: 8mm round druk sueded gold hyacinth, 6mm and 4mm sueded gold Hyacinth fire polished round, 6mm Pacifica Ginger round druk, those little 3mm English cut babies, 6mm Campfire Fire Polished Round, Carrot Cake Oval w/ Star Window 14x10mm which are much prettier in person, Campfire Picasso Hibiscus Coin 12mm, 6mm druk round Matte bronze, 6mm stone copper fire polished round. Oh, and the Tierra Cast copper hammered distressed toggle clasp

Components: The 8mm Czech Glass fire polished beads are the Metallic Grenadine, the 6mm ones are Opaque Cocoa Brown. The 6mm rounds or druks are one of three possibilities, Pacifica Strawberry or Watermelon or Etched Dusty Rose with Copper Luster. Either way, I want more of those, now to figure out which they are. The 4mm fire polished rounds are Jet w/ Red & Silver Flecks and I thought that they brought out the lines in the Golem bead the best. Last bead was an English cut 3mm, I suspect it is the round Dark Bronze. The button is a vintage glass button.

Components: Mint 4 ply Crawford Waxed Linen, LB, 4mm Czech Glass Opaque Turq Green with Picasso, 6mm Czech Glass Sueded Gold Olivine, 6mm Czeck Glass Avocado fire polished, some really pretty bi-color melon in an 8mm that had green and yellow with a gold or bronze finish. I got those recently then ordered more as soon as I saw them! I also used some english cut green ones, another vintage brass plated bead, some tiny avocado druks in a 2 or 3mm, a flat greeny coin bead in Czech glass and some older 6x9mm rondelles in Czech glass that said they had a heavy picasso finish over the turquoise glass. Most from LB, some from other places. Not sure about the dragonfly Golem bead as I have purchased them here there and everywhere. Oh, and another green and yellow 6x9 Czech Glass rondelle.

Suffice to say, I used a lot of them! English cut, fire polished rondelles both 4mmx5mm and 6mmx9mm, then a few more.

Now for the Yoruba bell ring, Brass, somewhere in Nigeria or eastern Africa (not LB but available from traders). Toho seed beads and demi rounds in blues and bronze and some Myuki seed beads, 6/0 in picaso finishes. Those beautiful round glass beads from Africa with some of the dark blue donuts (both from LB) and some of the brass rondelle spacers (LB or other). Then the Krobo sand cast beads that were later painted with yellows and blues and whites (LB or somewhere). Oh, and the mustard jasper bicones that I have had forever from a friend dealer. I love those.

Sugar Skull beads in pink frost, 3mm or 4mm bicone vintage lead crystal beads in Light Siam 2ABX, black chain necklace, 2" black headpins and eye pins. That is it for a simple statement. My other point is that you could easily take the sweet Sugar Skull beads here at LB and make yourself a really sweet piece of jewelry. Maybe jewelry that others will ask you about and you can explain that in October you wear pink because you are standing with those who have fought and who fight Breast Cancer to help bring an end to an evil foe. Just sayin'. Oh, that last picture is of the actual mosaic in Ravenna that is captured on the cloth in the first photo. I love mosaics!

Czech glass faceted rounds and I love the ones that are 4mm with a copper and picasso finish but also the 6mm yellow picasso and the turquoise 6mm matte finished ones, too. I see some 5mm melons and the chandelier cut 9mm, too. There is a single teardrop shape Czech glass in turquoise, too. And, the Greek Bronze cross pendant bead. All of them from LB, I think, along with the Irish Waxed Linen. The focal, clasp, and chain are from other places at other times. I think the chain was in my stash waiting for these focals.
