Sorting through my beads this week I came across a strand of these gorgeous turquoise beads that I totally forgot I had! They were a real treat as I won them in a giveaway but as they’re quite big and not the sort of beads I usually work with, I stored them away in a box to await that spark of inspiration. As soon as I saw them again I knew exactly what I wanted to do – with two of them at least ; )
I’ve combined them with some of my ‘Atom Beads’ which I’ve made from Japanese seed beads in a mix of blues and greens to match the wavy ovals. These are the smallest beaded beads I’ve made so far measuring 8mm in diameter and have a tiny 4mm core. They’re really quick to make but quite fiddly as you can probably imagine!
I’ve just popped these Ocean Wave earrings in my Etsy shop.
