This is one of my favorite beads that I have made.  I’ve had it now for about 3 years, just waiting for the right time to use it.  I’m still not sure I want to try and sell it at Crafty Feast at the end of May, or keep it for myself.  Maybe I’ll put it up for sale with a huge price tag and hope that no one buys it. :)

I didn’t make the copper twistie beads for this myself.  I got those from Earthdream on Etsy.  Again, they are something I’ve had for a while and was just waiting for the right piece to come along to use them on.

I tend not to make specific beads for specific pieces of jewelry.  Instead I like to have a whole bunch of stuff waiting and ready to use for when I want to use it.  This does mean I have a lot of supplies hanging around, but it also means I can buy them in bulk or when they go on sale to save money.  I hardly ever pay full price for something.  I get that trait from my mom. :)
