May Bead Porn

I'm not intentionally making this a once a month thing, but it seems to be working out that way just naturally.  I didn't want the month to end (holy crap, it's almost June!) without at least one porn post and the Friday before a 3-day weekend seems like a good time to do it.

Before I get to the goodies, though, just a quick reminder that tomorrow is the reveal for the Waxed Linen Cord Blog Hop so be sure to stop by and check out the adventures I've had using this new (for me) material!

Okay, no more delays!  On with the porn:


 
 
Brass sand dollar pendant with verdigris patina and...
 

 
 
...Mykonos silver ceramic dangles from Linden Avenue.
 

 
 
Floral bracelet bar...
 
 
 
 
...starfish bracelet bar...
 

 
 
...and big orange starfish bracelet bar all from Captured Moments
 

 
 
Red patina rings...
 

 
 
...large violet patina rings...
 

 
 
...and aqua patina rings all from Miss Fickle Media.
 

 
 
Tiny pink Czech glass rounds... 


 
 
...green/lavender Picasso rounds...
 
 
 
 
...and green/aqua Picasso lentils from both from Arte Bella Surplus.
 
 
 
 
Lavender/gold Czech glass flowers from Aloha Bead
 

 
 
Purple tagua nut slices...
 
 

 
 
...chocolate brown tagua tube beads...
 

 
 
...black tagua nut "claws"...
 

 
 
...red tagua nut "claws"...
 

 
 
...and gold tagua nut "claws" all from Eco Beads Tagua.  I bought all of these "claws" when I was putting together my "Hungry Like the Wolf" pieces for the Challenge of Music Blog Hop.  I did not end up using them, but used some other tagua nut pieces that were purchased at the same time.  These are so cool, though, I must figure out something to do with them!


 
 
Painted stone beads from Plymouth Rocks.
 
 
 
 
Enameled bird charms...
 
 
 
 
...leaf charms...
 
 
 
 
...and filigree pieces all from Gardanne.  All of these bright green pieces came about when I was looking for inspiration for the April "We're All Ears" Blog Hop.  They didn't arrive in time for me to use them, but I'm still happy to add these pieces to my stash for a future project as I don't have very much of this bright green.
 

 
 
Lampwork glass...hmmm...I don't know what to call this shape...from Atlantis Glass & Bead.
 

 
 
Beautiful summery, beachy lampwork set from Julsbeads.
 
 
 Enjoy and have a great holiday weekend!
