WOW! THREE posts in one day! Must be some kind of record for me. I have been making beads and cool clasps to sell. Here are a couple pictures. Thanks for looking!
As always lovely beads. I like all the different shapes and the last set is so subtle and unusual. I"m in awe of clasp. What # and kind of wire do you use? #20 soft? Half hard? I looked at that and thought.... no way handmade......but the considering it's YOUR hands, I'm guess I shouldn't be that surprised.
Beautiful beads Moe! The first set of earthy colored ones are my favorite. Nice to see you making beads again. Is bet claying a nice break from the stress of your reno!
Anita, I used 20 gauge non-tarnish silver Artistic Wire. If I use solid sterling, I use dead soft. You don't really need the harder stuff unless you are making a clasp to hold heavy stuff. But 18, 16 and 14 works great, too! :)

Tanks, Ipo! They are my favorites, too. If they don't sell, I will make a necklace from them. :)
