Beads for Blogging!

So, as you may recall, the lovely and awesome Tanya of FusionMuse sent me these fun beads to play with a while back:

Lookit the fun I can have!!!! 

For starters, I decided to make some fun earrings. Only, I had to create all the bits:

Ah, wire and tools.  My favorites...   (and the highlighter?  that's the form for some earring wires... and the brass wire at the bottom? That's from Tanya's Etsy shop...)

So, finally, I had some earrings:

These just might be my favorites! 

Halloweenie!!!

Pretty pinks! 

I'm still planning a play date with that gorgeous Botswana Agate:

I have to do it justice, you know.  It's SOOO pretty! 

:)  Go see Tanya (here and here)! lol! 

My "Beads for Blogging" Beads Came!!!

Hee hee!!  Awhile back, I met, virtually-speaking, an awesome new friend through one of my Facebook Beading groups.  Tanya, aka FusionMuse, runs a fabulous supplies shop on Etsy, and recently started getting her blog going again.  As part of that effort, she's offering "Free Beads for Blogging"!  (If you look over to the right, you'll see the button! Pretty, yes?)

So, here are the beads she sent me:

Look at the fun colors here!  I'm thinking earrings! :) 

Just had to give you a close-up of this gorgeous focal.  I have no idea what it is, (possibly an agate of some kind?) but it's pretty!  :) 

And this is the other side! 

So, there's a little sneak peek for ya!  I'll be posting pics of what I make soon! :)
