I thought I would take a few minutes to show you all what I do with the beadable products. So many of you do such creative things with the beadable products! Polymer clay, fellow glass makers, hand painted wood beads, or just sourcing really unique items and charms! I love seeing what you do! Here are a couple of photos of what I do. I have a style that I have a hard time getting away from.. I guess there is something to say with what you are comfortable with! I tend to lay out the beadable items on my bench and make the beads specifically for the item. That way I can get almost the perfect size. I do take advantage of the clear or black silicone spacers. I like these, as you can get a really nice tight fit with no spinning of the beads. My other secret sauce is that I use red locktight on the threads. Now, this is not necessary, but I want my finished items to be permanent. What I do at art shows, is wait until the customer has made their final decision, and then I apply the locktight.
