OMG! I got the most fantastic presents in the mail today! A while back my friend and I (Beth from
Bellesanbeaus Crafts) decided to make a trade. She is just getting into beading so I sent her a stash of beads to get going with. She had quite a few 11/0's from what I understood, so I sent her a lot of 15/0's and some 8/0's, 6/0's and bugles to go with what she already had. In exchange she was going to send me 3 of her gorgeous painted lady cabs. But much to my surprise, I got more than I bargained for. She sent not 3 but
4 of her cabs! On top of that she sent me a pkg of blue beads, a stunning square cab that I'm guessing is some sort of jasper, and some cylinder beads to go with it. She said that she thought of me and my cuffs when she saw this square cab. How thoughtful was that??? Now, I'm going to have fun making a "Beth" cuff. Take a look at these treasures that she sent to me!
These are the beads to compliment the square cab. Pretty, aren't they???
The cab is 1 3/16" square and will be just the perfect size for a cuff! It's gorgeous!
Just take a look at these face cabs!
They all measure about 1 1/2" x 1" and are made of polymer clay then hand-painted. They are just exquisite. Please stop by Beth's blog (
Bellesanbeaus Crafts) and take a look at the other wonderful things she has done. She is so very talented! lol I just realized there is a blue bead stuck in the eye of the first cab. I thought I got them all out. She packed that one in the bag of blue beads and the beads got packed into the eyes of the mask and I had to work at getting them out with a needle. Oops...missed one! :) And you can click on any of the pics for a larger view.
THANK YOU BETH!!!
