Okay, they're not really painted.....it's all glass. But it looks like paint splats!

This is another one of the scenic beads I've made recently. I call it "Secret Garden" because back behind the trees there is a clearing that looks like a garden with a stone wall.

Standing tall with few branches, the oak holds it's place amongst the other trees.

This is a work in progress, so to speak. A little imagination is all that's needed to see the red barn that sits behind the greenery. On the back of the bead you can see the trees on the hill and a fence.
size, 1-1/4 in. x 3/4 un.

There's nothing like a bonfire on a chilly autumn eve, when all the trees are ablaze with bright brilliant colors.

I couldn't come up with a good name for this bead so I used a paint chart. And Mossy Gold is perfect! Check out all my scenic beads, here.

This is my first attempt at trying to put a mini picture on a bead. The picture could be anything....For me it's the great outdoors. I used very fine glass stringers to put the picture on the bead. There is NO paint on this bead.
bead size 1-1/4 inch x 3/4 inch.

Can you see the faces in the leaves? I wasn't trying to make a Halloween tree, but looks like that's what I got.

The weatherman's forecasting snow, but all I see is Spring.
This tree reminds me of an old maple tree that grew in our backyard. There was a swing that hung from a large side branch, and on windy days I would sit and sway in the breeze. I loved it! So for me, the Spring Breeze is that tree. The only thing missing is the swing. LOL

I am amazed at how this bead turned out. The sunset reflecting on the hills is awesome. Now if only I could duplicate it.

Here's another scenic bead. I have just started working with the real, real, real fine stringer and it can be very hard to control. But with practice I hope to get better. Thanks for looking. Check out b-todd, on ebay.

Love the way the trunk came out on this tree. Reminds me of a corkscrew willow tree.

With very little branch covering left, this Redbud tree stands strong to weather the hard winter ahead.

This color floral reminds me of antique floral wall-paper. Victorian style.

This is a hollow bead gone bad. That's right. I lost control in the flame and ended up with a wonky lop-sided bead. I added a little silver foil and YUK! The bead reminded me of a gourd, and gourds make great birdhouses, so I made it a birdhouse. Hope you like it.

I know winter just started here, but I'm looking forward to spring.

This is just a mix of focals.

I thought this bead would break before I got it off the mandrel.
This bead was made using a 1/16 mandrel.(soft glass) I made the two tiny spacer beads first, then made the hollow bead around them.
Removing them from the mandrel was hard, and cleaning them was even harder... As you can see by the pic's, I didn't do a very good job.
Oh well...I don't see a set of these in my future. LOL

I've been trying to make this bead for awhile. I have cats and dogs, but to see a cat sitting in a window watching the world go by...how sweet is that!

I've got a lot of Moon Flowers in full bloom. They're everywhere.

This is from my first attempt at making a signature cane. Not sure how small they should be, and It may look better if the letters weren't touching, but using a hot head torch, that was the easiest for me.

If I could grow a Bonzi Tree, I wouldn't have to make one on a bead.

Here's something a little different from me.
This is a hollow focal bead with two spacer beads. I've only made a handful of hollows, so I was really pleased with the way this one turned out.
The focal bead was made for a Survivor bead game at WC. And because my guy won Survivor, I got the bead stash and my beads.
Way to go YUL!!
Thanks for looking.

These 3 holed beads are a little whacked. They were a challenge to make, and I think they turned out pretty good. Not sure how they will be used in a set, maybe a wire wrap....

I love trees! I have seen so many tree beads lately and they are gorgeous. So I decided to give it a go and try to make my own tree bead. This is my first....Weeping Cherry.

Whirligig
I was trying to copy my windy whirligig thingy and all was going great, layer after layer, till I ran out of gas.... So this is what I ended up with.

I started out making this really cool bead, loved the look. Then being the creative person that I am, I added a dab of red glass on the top of the bead. Yuk! From that point .....I don't know what happened. This is what I ended up with. I don't know what it is, haven't a clue....but I like it.
Thanks for stopping in, Belinda
