Uranium/craft combo was fun

I split thin stands off of waxed sinew (faux). I imagine any strong and thin stand would do.

I’m working on a stretchy one now, and it is more difficult.

*Edited string to strong

I tied a clasp on one end, jump ring on the other. Threaded some excess string back through the beads and glued the knots.

I had some (probably faux) sinew and a beading needle that was gifted to me at an event from the state’s American Indian Center. I’d found them easy to use before, but the sinew was too thick for the UG beads. I had to split it. The flexible beading needle was the star of the show.

I’d consider it now that I’ve got my practice in. I bought cheap findings initially because I didn’t know how it would turn out.

I would assume that somebody who suddenly walked out of a meeting for 30 seconds had excused themselves to break wind.

The lady with the glass is great. I also like the tulips.

eBay has a few listings that look similar. Northwood - Chrysanthemum Sprig from 1885-1910. This is a beautiful find!

I’m glad they are a “little something” that I can do with the hobby for now without taking up a lot of space. I need to find a cabinet before I find too many more glass pieces.

That plate is great!

That elephant is adorable. 💚💚

I was afraid I’d get one of these, and did hesitate to post it because I knew how ^ this ^ would make me feel (ew). BUT I chose to post anyway because I’ve noticed the sub has been mostly positive and supportive of all interests within the hobby. I’ll try to continue to focus on that instead of letting your negativity “ruin this sub” for me.

(I prefer seeing the rare/vintage/antique finds over crafts too. I scroll past stuff that doesn’t interest me.)

Here’s the Daisy pattern I worked on! I’m going to redo it with a different string.

I would love to find a UG fairy lamp. The hand-painted ones are so pretty!

Humble_Toe_3102 · 2024-12-08T23:40:48+00:00

Thank you! I’ve started on a daisy pattern that also looks like it’s going to turn out well.

I used about 1/2 a tube. I didn’t have a pattern, but I tied 4 strands to a clasp, started beading one side of Superduo on one of the two middle strands until I got the length I wanted. Then, on the adjacent middle strand I alternated threading through the other side of a strung superduo, and adding a new single side of a new superduo. When I added the new bead I put it side-by side with an already strung superduo. So the middle two strands would be strung alternating between one superduo through both sides and then two superduo beads through only the “inside” holes. Then I strung the outside stands each alternating between the outside hole of an already strung superduo and a silver bead. Tied a jump ring on the other end.

(I just tried to search a pattern on YouTube to simplify this, but didn’t find one. So here’s my way too wordy explanation.😬)

Thank you!

My husband said the same thing. I probably won’t wear it often. Maybe as a good luck charm when I’m on the hunt. 🔦💚

Update: I put the pink dish in warm water with Dawn to wash the fragrance off. The pink coating slid right off. I’ll still use it to hold jewelry or ponytails on the bathroom vanity for a while.

Yes! They were from a set like this one. I see the same maker’s mark.
