Bead Haul I

After weeks and weeks of waiting, my first bead haul finally arrived! Yey! I ordered packets of 6mm cloisonné, ceramic and 4mm bi cone beads. 

I've bought 6mm and 4mm Majorca beads before so I thought they'd pretty much have the same size. And oh was I wrong! They were tiny! At first I thought, "uh-oh" but then I realized they'd make great earrings and bracelets. So I was happy with them.

I also got some Tibetan silver dolphin bookmarks. It was just so cute I had to get them.

Here's a two-strand bracelet I made using the cloisonné and ceramic beads with champagne-colored glass pearls. They were just so adorable.
