New Purchases

New Purchases

from the Innovative Bead Show

 

Every May, my friend and I drive up to Marlboro, MA and spend several hours at the Innovative Bead show. I was able to find some new cabochons at this show .

 

I also recently purchased a DVD so I could learn some new types of wire wrapping. Naturally, that is why I purchased the new cabs.

 

 

 

I was able to practice Monday morning. Here is my first try.

 

The colors are dark so I know it is hard to see the wire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I noticed the angles were all wrong. Well, at least not as good as they might be and I tried again. Also, made the coils bigger.

 

I like this one better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I look at the results, even the better one, I'm wondering if I should try it again using silver? I just might give it a go to see what happens. What do you think?

 

 

 

 

Of course, this was not the only cab I purchased. You can see I found some others. These will take me awhile to finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just had to purchase that owl though. Not sure what will happen to him. Suggestions?

 

 

 

 

Then I found some that were almost finished, hearts to boot. Couldn't leave them there.

 

But I did leave some there.  ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know what you think of my new purchases.

Until next time,
