The third amber and bead project....

This is the third and last project that I completed with the tube of seed beads and string of amber chips (I have also made the bracelet and the earrings with those beads also.) That was a lot of beading projects from one tube and one small string of chips!

One tube of beads....continued

In a previous post, I showed one project made so far from a tube of seed beads and a string of small amber chips. This is the third project made from the tube. The tube has finally run dry, having only about 25 beads left in it, and only about 8 chips remain.

What One Tube of Beads can Do....

Whenever I have to travel to a meeting in Sacramento, I visit the U-Bead It bead shop. They are a huge shop with everything a beader could want, great inspiration with their displays, and the most organized and largest seed bead section I've ever seen. And, oddly enough, the tubes of beads I get there are downright magical, they seem to never end. For example, with one tube of amber-colored glass seed beads I got there, plus one string of small genuine amber chips, I have made a brick stitch and amber bracelet, a pair of brick stitch and amber earrings, and an amber-embellished spiral rope for a silver and amber pendant. (And, in case you hadn't guessed, I do like amber!)
