I've
had a lot of requests from my customers to make some more opal
yellow beads, so here's the first set of a few I"ve made recently.
These are all lentils I made with my Christmas present to myself:
Corina's Bead Stamp!
There are three different sizes of
lentils here. The smallest pairs of lentils measure about
12mm from hole to hole, the middle size measure about 14mm, and
the largest lentil measures 16.5mm. All have two different
designs: one side has a circular swirl and the other has a
squiggle with dots. In the two photos below, I show the two
sides of the focal so you can figure out what I mean by those
technical terms "squiggle" and "circular swirl" :)
All the beads have been etched to
bring out those great color variations that come from Opal Yellow,
and I've
used 5mm Light Amethyst Swarovski® crystals
for accent. Opal Stones
is temporarily strung on sterling silver wire. |
