Last Batch Before the Move? Maybe...

Just give me black and white glass and my love of patterns and dots and I'm happy.

I love this bead and can't seem to stop making it.  I like to add transparent colors to the basic black and white design and just see where it takes me. 

 I love this view.

This red looks amazing and goes very well with my "Red Zebra" beads!

On these next beads I still used Aqua as my transparent color but the raised dots on these is CIM Freeman.  I'm liking this combo.  It's the first time I have paired these two blues.

Another pretty pattern:

This next one reminds me of a bow tie or a tuxedo bead.

 These are 9 dotted stars.

 These are 8 dotted stars.

These are 4 dotted starts.

These are also 4 dotted starts but with a different pattern.

This bead is a bit of a reverse.  The aqua was a bit darker than I'd hoped.

 
I felt like making some spring colored beads.  Eh, nothing spectacular here but the colors are pretty.

 

I also etched a few "Sea Glass" beads for a customer of mine.

I still have a few more dipped large hole mandrels left that I may use up before I pack up the last of the studio.  I'll be back blogging after April 15th - when the taxes are finished and my studio is all set up again in the North.  Hope everyone is starting to enjoy some nice spring weather!!!
