Creative Project #10 for February……earrings and a few new things!!!

Yesterday I posted a pair of earrings that I said *might* be the giveaway for Saturday’s 100th post, but they were snatched up. So I am not sure what will be my giveaway….maybe something you have seen, maybe something I haven’t blogged about yet. Surprises are good 🙂
I spent the morning making more beads and letting them anneal while I ran some errands.

Some I am saving for a necklace, but I used one pair for earrings.

The same but different from yesterday 🙂

I also got some new tools in the mail today and spent some time making a glass button and practicing a flower shaped bead.
Here is my glass button still on the mandrel. I only made one mistake…..I only ordered one mandrel, so I can only make one button at a time!

Here is my first try at a flower bead. I thought it was okay for a first try.
The shape is somewhat close. Just got to work on getting the petals even…..making that liquid glass *SIT & STAY*!
