Is it Friday yet? Last nights goods
Mar 07

I have a bunch of catching up to day in the way of bead “show off” photos, so this post is probably going to get rather long :)

After about 4 years of trying to find my niche, my style, my “hey that’s an Avenue Beads creation” type of work. I think I’ve finally stumbled upon what I’ve been striving for.

Window Jars
These decorative jars that I’ve been making for the past week or so have really been exciting. As I’ve said in the broadcasts this is probably the worst timing for coming out with pricey items, but I am having way to much fun creating these. Their colors, form, and style are unique and eye catching, but wow do they take a long time to make! On average they take an hour to an hour and a half to make. Sounds crazy for a piece that measures in at 1 1/2″ tall doesn’t it? Each one is made up of many layers of stacked dots of beautiful colors that create a mosaic style pattern of compact shapes and color. Below are the newest additions that I have made and are available for purchase in my Etsy store.

Blue Prism Super Silver Shards
We released our newest batch of shards last night. The first mix of the new Super Silver line. So I made two more example beads with it last night. Both of them show how versatile this shard is. It is able to achieve so many different sheens and colors. Both of these beads are also up for auction on ebay.

Ornament Giveaway
Free giveaway during tonight’s broadcast! If you stick it out to the end tonight you have a chance of winning the below item. Barry has been after me to make our own ornaments for our Christmas tree and I finally tried the first one :) It turned out great visually but it blew out lopsided. So I’m giving it away to one lucky person!

You don’t have to do anything special to win, you just have to be in the chat room during the drawing. Although if you want to leave a comment on this post or vote for me at myohmyshops I won’t stop you :)
