Hi everyone! I know I’ve been laying low for a bit but I’ve been working on some new things in addition to my upcoming classes. I also have been working on the ArtBeads project but I have to admit that it’ll be another minute for that one. The bead, at no fault to them, was larger then I expected. Go figure, through the excitement to blog for them, I didn’t check the measurements and now the idea I had has to change. More to come (this was a post from previous days).
Regarding the past day or two, I’ve been inspired by these beautiful carnelian butterfly beads. I found them at a bead show a couple of years ago but have never really given them a try until now. I got new copper wire and so perhaps this is why the inspiration. I hope you enjoy them.
The tutorial for this will be out in my store soon along with the pendants, so keep an eye out for them! Hugs and thanks for always being here and for sharing yourselves as well. 
Smiles and many blessings!
I used 21 gauge, round copper wire, 3 strands of 7 inches each, the Carnelian beads are approx 1 inch by .75 inch and including the bale length, the whole pendant is 1.5 inches long. The leather cords are finished in copper bands and a copper clasp. Simple and really fun to make. I hope they inspire you!
