Wednesday’s Worktable: More Seed Beads!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! 

It’s been a busy creating week so far. I have three things on my worktable currently—but, sadly, not much to show for it. 

First, I have actually started making something with the pearls from last week. No pictures just yet… I’ve been working on it mostly at night, and the nighttime lighting is terrible for pictures. Ah well. I do plan on showing it off when I’m done, though!

Secondly, I have started working on something for this month’s challenge. I’m not going to show teaser pictures just yet—not until I’m sure the design is going to work. Still, I’m pretty excited! Here’s to hoping it goes the way I want it to.

And lastly, I’m back to poking at seed beads--hence the name of this entry. 

Up until now, I’ve been playing with Miyuki delicas and Toho 11/0s… So I thought I’d add some Czech glass Preciosa beads into the mix.

Aren’t they lovely? These are 10/0s. Preciosa seed beads tend to run a little small though… they seem to be on par with both the Miyuki and Toho 11/0s. 

With these beads, I’m currently attempting some tubular herringbone, and it seems to be going quite well. Yay!

This will probably become a necklace, but who knows. Right now, I'm just enjoying the process.

So, there you go. Thanks for stopping by today to see what I’ve been up to. Lots of ideas floating about in my head… lots of experimenting, too. And learning. It’s been quite delightful.

Have a wonderful week, everyone!
