They're Here!

Yes

!  The collection of lampworked beads that I ordered on Superstars Night from Sarah Moran ofZ-Beads has arrived!  I like them so much that I've decided that I want to order several more  in the dark wine with gold and poppy colors similar to the third bead on the bottom pictured here.  I plan to make a bracelet with an extension piece that will enable me to wear it as a neck

lace as well.  You know, I'm all for fashion mileage!  I may stitch some disks with matte black seed beads or make fine silver metal clay disks that will separate the lampworked beads...I never know until I get started!   A textured fine silver metal clay toggle/clasp or button closure, perhaps in seashell or urchin motif, with a rich, soft, subtle patinaed glow would be nice.  Of course, my design ideas may change by the time I get around to making the bracelet...depending on my whim!   These colorful beads recall so many memories I hold dear from vacations in Hawaii.
