I thought I had posted all the images I had of crazy costumes but I found a few lurking in a folder labeled "kitschy".

I especially like this one set because I was able to incorporate a word into the paper design. If you look closely you'll be able to find all the letters to spell "angel".

I remembered it was Wednesday 2 weeks in a row. (Will wonders never cease?) This is the second row of beads cases that we will peek into today.

These are called fire polished beads and they must be called that because of the iridescent finish that they have on them. (I actually "inherited" these from the scrapbooking company I used to work for.)

Bronze and gold metallic beads.

These are all 3 shades of pink beads that I have.

Red to red/pink beads.

What's In My Drawers? (I remembered it's Wednesday!)

As promised last week this is a look at what's in this monstrous metal shelving unit. This is where all of my beads are kept which are contained in embroidery floss boxes. (Best thing for keeping beads in my opinion.) I will be starting with the row of containers that are closest to me when I took the photo.

These 2 containers hold all of my copper findings and bead/spacers. For those of you not familiar with bead lingo.... "findings" refers to anything like jump rings, head pins, closures, and so on. "Spacers" are a fancy name for the beads used to "space" the fancier beads to make them look more prominent. (They are usually made of gold, silver or copper and are flatter then most beads.)

Obviously these are all of my gold findings, and spacers.

Silver findings and spacers.
