Beads By Laura: Strawberry

 

I got my lampwork strawberry in the mail today from Beads By Laura. It is so cute :) I love how the leaves are two different shades of green.

Hand Woven Netted Belt

It sits a bit lower than I wanted (the fringe part is over my belly  button) it to but for my first try I think it's pretty good. I'd love to know what you think about it. :)

Why, Hollow There

These beads are a bit of a pain to make but, they are really cool since the inside is hollow. You make them by making two disk beads side by side but with a gap in between. Then as you build the disks up they will start to cup into each other. When they get on a tiny gap between the two tops of the disks you can seal them off together as one big hollow bead. As you round the bead out in the flame the air that's caught inside will expand and keep the bead from deflating so make sure you don't have any holes in your bead.

P.S. which is your favorite? I really like the one with the hearts on it ♥

I ♥ U

These are really fun to make and I love the ♥ pattern on them. All I did was make dots all the way around melt them in then drag the bottom of the dot down on all of them. Then go back around and pull the top part of the dot down also and doing that gives you cute little ♥s.

What Do Ya Think?

 I'm not really sure how I feel about this one I like the colors but I'm not overly happy with the bead designs. Oh well I'm still learning I'm sure I'll get better at this bead making stuff :) On the bright side my grandma really liked them and happily adopted this necklace :)
