New Decal Beads... Yes - Beads!

Here are some of the new beads I've been working on this week...

Lentil Beads:

I've been working on this idea for a while for these lentils...

Have had them glazed since like March...

But finally just sat down and put some of my decals on them...

Oval Tube Beads:

And these oval tube beads...

Well, I thought they were interesting, but didn't have too much in mind for them...

Until I started playing with the lentils...

Then there was no stopping...

Round Beads:

The picture of the round beads is a bit blurry...

But right now I'm itching to start to make some jewelry with them...

Ok - truthfully, I'm torn between keep on making more new pieces with the many drawings and textures I've got (which means lots of time on the computer adjusting images to proper size and saturation, printing out, then refining...) or making jewelry with them.

I've got a few deadlines upon myself for the jewelry with wanting to get some stuff up into the My Mom Pattie Etsy shop I've set up as well as for the actual Gala held in a week and a half at Tri-State Bird Rescue...

Well, let's see what I can get done shall we???

Let me know what you think of the new pieces will ya?

Am I going in a good direction with them?

Oh, and of course...

Gotta give a shout out to Marla & Vlad over at Bisque Bead Supply for making such wonderful porcelain pieces for me to use as little blank canvases for these decal pieces!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
