pillow bead pendant


Here's the pillow bead wrapped (I'm not the best "wrapper" - yo dude) with onyx, bali dangly thingie and SS Bail on a black ribbon. I sanded with 600x, then buffed. Perfect shine for me...

Thank you ladies all :o)

I've been wearing it all day...I don't wear much jewelry, so it's always a challenge to make something I'd like to wear. It's not bad...*g*

Hey Kath...didn't Sarah make some pillow beads with you guys? I got alot out of watching her make one.

Hi Roberta! So happy to see you here! You know, I got invited to a show in Tucson, called "To Bead True Blue." Guess how much they wanted to charge me for a table? 1000 freaking dollars!! I'm a starving artist, for heaven's sake! Hmmm...cabs huh? Are you interested? *g* I'll tell Alice what you said about FM...thanks for the kind words darlin :o)

Thanks Krista! Welcome...don't be shy...keep posting! Hey everyone Krista is from Cyprus...my geography is bad Krista. This is near or in Germany? I'm sorry, I feel like a dork :o)

Anyway, Krista makes beyootiful jewelry. I need to post on your blog...you and your husband should be models too! Wow, you're all gorgeous :o)

Barb Fajardo said...

yes Kath, that's the way...

I actually shape the pillow scrap first, lots of beveling the sides and pinching the corners...then apply the slices, then pinch all the edges and shave. I also use a puffinwand to smooth and shape. Do you want me to take any pics next time I do one?

I think when Krista bought some beads from me, the address was in Germany or the UK. I think you're right tho...dang, my memory is barely there ;o)

kay, will take pics of the next pillow bead steps for ya.

well, that's what they told me...but I think Cheryl (easy now ;o) said she and Christi shared a $500 table.

It would be difficult, but not impossible to come up with the bucks...but since I really didn't know anything about it when I mentioned it to DH, I just passed...and coming up with enough inventory would be another problem.

I'm thinking about doing a show in the park across the street from Old Town and the museums here in "burque." It will be in April for the city's 300th BD...parades, etc also. I don't even know if I can come up with enough stuff for that!

Smoochies back!

I've been wearing this for a few days which is unusual for me. I think the ribbon is very comfortable. I have one in a pale lavender color and I made a bead to go with it. I'll show it to you in the next few days :o)
