I got beads LOL

A couple of little baggies.
Loads of different sizes, glass, lucite, brass, some mixed gems, wood and plastic.Lots of bits.

So what to make.
I sat with my torch and made about 200 brass pins and then beat a clasp out of some wire. All metals used are Brass.
With a few extra little seedies to use as spacers I came up with a lovely set that is bright and Fall coloured.
 A three piece set
 Cute little earrings with a Brass lever back hook
 Necklace measures approx 20 inches.
Bracelet measures approx 8 inches and has to sit a little looser due the the dangles.

This is a set I would like to auction off for cancer research. I had a PET CT scan about 3 weeks ago.I have 3 major sites of cancer.One on the stomach, one on the uterus and one in my lower left leg. As cancer is not an easy disease I want to help raise some funds. I am happy to take bids until 31st Oct, the highest bidder makes the donation to which ever cancer research place and sends me a copy of the payment with shipping address. Then I will post. Lets start bidding at $10.
This way you get a lovely set and a tax deduction as well.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the hop.
Here are all the participants.

    Tanya, you join too many of my friends & relatives fighting (and increasingly defeating) the big C. Sending lots of positive thoughts and healing white light and, just to start things rolling, a bid of $15. Leslie

      I thought about earrings but I think they work well at the ends as focals. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours.Love and hugs Tanya

      Fear is a four letter word LOL. I sat with the beads and asked them and as I sat my hands moved and it all flowed. It was one of the easiest pieces in a long time..I think it was just itching to get out LOL Love and hugs Tanya

    Tayna - You did a great job! I love the bright multicolored bracelet especially. The turquoise focal is very eye catching. I know what you mean about a design "itching to get out". Sometimes I don't "listen to my beads", so they have to shout at me - lol. Thanks for participating in the hop - thoughts and prayers are being sent you way.

    Tanya, you made such a lovely set!! I'm so sorry to hear what's been going on for you - sending many happy thoughts and hugs! I lost a beautiful niece to cancer 3 years ago (she was my Sweet Girl) & now my sister has a run every year to raise money for families that are battling cancer, to help ease the burden a bit. I bid $50 and if I'm chosen, I will donate the money to cancer research and give my sister your lovely set to use in their raffle. You can check them out at Ericasrun.com - I was able to attend this year and they raised $15,000 to help families in their community. Cancer sucks! You've got a great community here that supports you!!
