Beautiful Handmade Polymer Beads

Have a look at these gorgeous beads made by my very talented cousin, Janice!!!  They are exquisite and each one is unique and interesting.  She was kind enough to make them for me to use with my next set of mini art panels.  I am going to pair the beads with my images and see which look like they belong together.  I am so grateful as she sent me a bunch.  She makes many beautiful things like ornaments and cake toppers.  Look for them soon in my next set of Artful Box panels.

*Update- See Janice's beads in action on my new art panels .

Mini Art Panels

A colorful little collection of 4"x 4" mini art panels.  Woo hoo!  Who doesn't love a wee bit of art for their space?

Handmade Polymer Beads

I've been really inspired by all the beautiful handmade beads I've been seeing on the web lately.  Some of the bird beads are pricey to buy so I thought I'd try making my own.    Well, as it turns out, it's really fun and fast and I'm thinking of projects to incorporate beads and more beads.  Here they are drying on bamboo sticks.   They look like yummy little candies.
