Flowers Redux

Recently I was invited to play with some product from Auntie’s Beads. Don’t you love it when you get to play in someone else’s playbox?

 

 

My shopping list:

Spacers, 5mm Flat Bali, 4 Gram Bag

Artistic Wire Spool, 20 Gauge, Natural Colored Copper Wire

Chinese Crystal Barrel Bead Strand, 10x13mm, Dark Vintage Rose.

Designer Lampwork Rondelle Strand, Multi Stripe, 9 x 15mm

15-Sterling "S" Shaped Tubing

The results?

 

In this arrangement I used the Designer Lampwork Rondelle strand and the Artistic Wire. The rondelles come in a strand of 10, the colors lovely. The Artistic Wire is in packaging that is new for me. Comes in a wonderful and easy to use dispenser. The rest? Polymer clay and Estée Lauder blush!

I’ve had this idea to use “S” shaped sterling tube beads, here all the parts work nicely. The 20 gauge wire is the exact size for these “S” tubes, and the 5mm bali spacer keeps it all in place. The Chinese Crystal are excellent quality. Great refraction, crystal clear and sharp lines.

Auntie’s Beads is a pleasure to shop. And I thank them for the opportunity to see these items…up close and in my hands!!
