Earrings are good fun, quick and easy and you can use up those left over beads that don't quite go with anything else.

The other thing I do with the left over beads is wire them to a chain to make a bracelet, I usually have one going and just keep adding to it until it becomes one of those lovely chunky bead bracelets, lots of color and lots of different beads, it's a fun thing.

Okay that's it for now, hope you get inspired with the earrings.

Beading! Such a Wide Area!

Have you ever thought how many areas beading covers.  Every day I'm finding more and more beading projects that I want to try.  Biggest problem is finding the time.

Here's just some of the areas you can get into once you start beading

Necklaces
Rings & Brooches
Gemstones
Crocheting with beads
Weddings, not just the gowns but tiaras and jewelry
Wire links and chain jewelry
Earrings
Home decorating, like cushions etc
Fashion
Flowers
Bracelets
Knitting
to name just a few

I really enjoy doing my own designs, often times when you see the beads they dictate the design. and the beauty of it is mostly they are one-off so no one else will have what you have.

Unique!

Catch you later
