Default February Beads

After I took these pics I added four more beads to make 150 even. Feb's challenge was sculptural beads, twisties, and dots.

Love, love, love the twistie work, Especially the ones used for cat stripes. I'm in awe!

Thanks for the compliments. My twisties and dots improved a lot last month. I think when I'm doing BOC beads, I don't tighten up like I do when I'm trying to do "perfect" beads to sell.

Default WOW!!! Even better in person!

I got to see these amazing beads this past weekend at Fire on the Mountain, and all I can say is...WOW! They are huge, bright, beautiful and even better in person than in the photos. The kids are going to flip when they see them!

I love these beads and I think the kids must really love these too! Maybe Susan could do a tutorial for Soda Lime Times, Diane? These are really inspiring!

Diane has already asked me to do a tutorial for the cat beads for the June issue. Thanks for the kind words.
