So here are the feature beads for my next few projects (otherwise known as the non-seed beads). And some scraps. Can you guess which ones are future projects and which ones are just scraps?

And then we have SOME of the projects started (I wanted to get a good idea of how they looked. I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures, I only had my phone available). 

There’s this future necklace made of three different shades of red fire polish round 3mm beads and 4mm orange bicone crystals with a lovely, delicate peach 11 seed bead.

A future necklace/bracelet set made with clear orange 4mm square beads and 3mm golden yellow bicones with a pearled dark cream 11 seed bead.

Another future necklace with clear 2x3mm rondelles, blue fire polish round 3mm beads, AB 4mm crystal bicones, and jet blue 4mm crystal bicones with a white 11 seed bead.

Another future bracelet in a herringbone spiral made of a blue 8 seed bead.

And last but not least, a future necklace with smoky and purple 2x3mm rondelles, 3mm fire polish beads in peacock colors mix, and jet purple 4mm crystal bicones with a party mix of metallic 11 seed beads to finish it off! (I was really nervous about how this one would turn out. I need to learn to trust my instincts.)

And, of course, the biggest new project: THIS BLOG! I have a wordpress site for finished projects and write-ups, but I wanted a space where I could post a) just pictures and b) WIPs without cluttering up the finished project posts. One of these days, if there’s enough interest, I’ll even make an etsy shop.

All patterns by Cara of Simple Bead Patterns (check her out!). I’m so excited to show you what else I have planned for everything in this bead box, but I think that’s plenty of unfinished projects hanging around!
