It feels like forever since I've had new beads - but here is the haul from the weekend. It's supposed to be a long weekend for Canada Day, but it's our financial quarter-end next week, and we get Friday off for a local holiday, so I'll be working tomorrow to try and get everything done. I'll have a couple of days off the following week, so it's not entirely bad.
I was trying to match a shirt I have with a couple of the beads - it's a black western shirt with hot pink and gold oriental fabric for the trim. I'm not sure I was entirely successful, but at least now I know what some of the ideas look like, and I can try again. I also re-made a set I sold a while back - I think I might etch the beads, as I think they'll look better matte than as the shiny glass. The fourth set was me experimenting - a few beads to see what a new colour looked like (the white beads) and a few to see if I could get a raku colour to work. The raku is supposed to look like the oil-slicked pottery glaze, but mostly it just looks brown here.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

Sorry to hear you aren't having a long Canada Day weekend Karin. Having an extra day next weekend will be great though.
Your beads are beautiful and I agree with Cheryl - the flower is very special.
Have a good week.
Gorgeous beads as always, KariN! I love the flower-shaped bead.
Ohhhhh, such pretty beads ;)
Love the doughnut Warring States bead (at least, that's what it looks like to me!), it's just fabulous. And I love the blue/green beads. I think they would look great etched, if those are the ones you're talking about. Um, OK, I love all the beads!! =)
