Bead Hoarders Blog Hop

 
 
Big thanks to Lori and this wonderful Bead Hoarders Blog Hop.  I now know for sure that I am a Hoarder/Collector/Lover of Beautiful Beads even more than I realized!  I'm a little afraid of my self.  Some of these beads, to follow,  I have had since I first started designing in 2007.  When will I ever find the time to use them?  I always want more...more is better...right!

Here's what I'm talking about...beads that I have had for a long time...just waiting on me to become worthy of designing something with them.  Will it ever happen?

Here's more stash...Ceramics.

  3. I am a lover of lampwork beads as well, buying, NOT MAKING, and have to say that owl bead is the most fantastic one I have ever seen. Your bracelet is devine, but don't wear it around me, or it might get "lost".

  7. Gorgeous! I'm not surprised that you have such a wonderful hoarded stash! I love how in that first bracelet that yellow bead mimics an owls eye to join the owl charm :-)

  11. I love both pieces and especially the necklace. Great beads and great designs.

  12. I want to run away with your stash. Seriously! Your bead collection is drool-worthy. I have a soft spot for lampwork glass myself and I think you did a fabulous job on the bracelet and necklace. Both are gorgeous!

  21. Um, pardon me while I drool ALL OVER your bead hoard!! ;)
    No kidding, you've got some serious pirate booty. . .if pirates were jewelry artists.
    Anyway, your designs are absolutely gorgeous. I love your use of your hoard in each of them. I especially like that mostly blue necklace. It's yummy. Well done!
