Bead Table Wednesday

Well, my bead table is full.  Getting ready for this sea glass festival has taken over my studio AND my kitchen.  Here is the kitchen, where I am drilling sea glass and have the earring making taking place.  (my studio is the metal smithing area right now)


Here is a close up of that tray thats waiting to be drilled.  I have some charm necklaces laid out.



Here are the earrings I made last night.  I already had a bunch glued into these bail caps from last year, so I just had to hang them on earwires (they are the one's hanging on the front), but alas, once these sell out I think this style is of the past. I really prefer making the one of a kind earrings.

Here are some of the one of a kind earrings I made with all my bronze clay bits and pieces I showed you a couple weeks ago.



These (below) were some of my favorites



The last pic above is a new style I made with 12g wire ILO the sheet copper I have been using for boho hoops.  I really like them.

So there you have it.  My bead table #2.  Poor family, no place to eat.  I have officially taken over the house.  Well, gotta get drilling.  I need to drill this morning, so when my battery dies, it can re-charge all day and I can drill more tonight.

Check out what other people have on their bead table here. 
What's on your bead table?

Sea Glassin Time!

The Lewes DE Sea Glass and Coastal Arts Festival is about a month away.  Time to crack the whip and make more sea glass jewelry.  I need to make LOTS of bezels and drill lots of sea glass.  Pairing the glass for earrings is always an overwhelming task, but one I must do.  I do love to see all my glass out on the table.  But I need to start drilling about an hour a day to drill enough for the show. 

Here is an hours worth of drilled sea glass.



Here is the collection to go through.




Here is a pic with my hand for size comparison.



I have my work cut out for me.

So glad I love it.
