Trumpet the News - or at least Bugle It


tb1b25b Japanese Seedbeads - #1 Toho Bugles - Silver Lined Rubytb2b22 Japanese Seedbeads - #2 Toho Bugles - Silver Lined Light TopazBugle it with Bugles! Be the boogie-woogie bugle babe with all the new beads! New this week - two sizes of Japanese bugles - We have Honorable #1 and #2 bugles. #2 are 6 mm long, and #1 are fun-sized at only 3 mm long! Think beaded broad collars with long ladders of bugles! Mmmm baby!


tb11h221 Japanese Seedbeads - 11/0 Toho Hexagon - Metallic Bronze


Bewitching beads that will put a spell on you! Hex beads! These are 11/0 hexagonal beads - short, six-sided beads. The flat sides reflect light with more dazzle, like facets - making these blingy little seedbeads.


And, as if three entirely new pages of beads weren't enough - we also have:


78024030-04 Feathers -  Coque Hackles - Royal Purple (Pack)More Feathers - and check out this week's inspiration. Are these feather earrings not awesome? - if I do say so myself! I test drove these at a party a couple of weeks ago, and came away with orders for more! My Secret Life earrings.


15757000 Swarovski - Applique -  Crystal Fabric (57000) - Crystal AB (1 cm)


Fixin' to Hot Fix? Planning to bling up something for the hot summer evenings? Check this out - this is Crystal Applique Fabric. A little goes a long way - Use an exacto knife to cut out a design, or punch out designs with a paper punch (check out your local stamping supply store - even Walmart has them!) - lots of great punches are available! Leafs, flowers, animals, abstract designs. Then just iron on! You can sparkle like a vampire in sunlight! (Where I come from - vampires burn in sunlight and I like it that way, thenkyouveddymuch. So there.)

Here it is in 6 mm bicones - and more shapes/sizes on the way - but they just didn't make it into this week's update! Anyway - you should be dazzled! It's a rich amber colour with flashes of gold and pink! Pink!

s29981 Magazine - The Flow -  2011 - SummerAnd - for all the lampworkers! - new issue of The Flow magazine!
