This is the next step in the Bead give-away contest.

Im going to post up a photo of the bead design concepts. The original design concepts can be found back in the blog archives. You have the option of voting for one or the other, or you can tell me that I missed the mark entirely.

Depending on votes from you all, I will remake a new set, or proceed to the next step which will be giving these beads away.

First two are the Caribbean Blue beads;

Bead one (right) is base cobalt blue, made on a larger mandrel. Its got silver balls that look like stars. There are waves of light colors both opaque and transparent, all under a pretty heavy coat of clear. Shape is kind of a tapered barrel 25mm tall and 22 mm wide at the widest point.


Bead two (left) is a tube, 53mm long by 16mm wide, made on a 3/32 inch mandrel. Its got an opaque core, then its got 3-4 colors of blue, opaque and transparent that are kind of swirled about wavelike and also under a pretty good layer of clear.

So, now that you have seen them, let me know what you think ?
