I've been playing with various ways to make metal beads- something I don't see enough of that are handmade- and offer a few extras from time to time in my shop.
These first beads were trials but most of them came out well enough to offer some in my shop- soon!

Next up are some etched wood grain pattern links or components

These would make great earring pairs, dome them, stamp em'- possibilities are endless!
And using that same etched wood grain pattern, I made some bead caps!

I'm really excited about all these new components and have plans for more metal beads- including some tube styles!
And today I'm giving away one pair of the rolled metal beads for one of you to try!
Same as usual-

Love them all but drooling over those wood grain links/components!
Awesome beads! You're right... you never see enough handmade metal beads. More connectors and bead caps ( both of which are yummy too ;) ), but very few actual 'beads'!
I love the bead caps! Awesome.

Cat! You are on talented metal artist!! These are fabulous!!!!
Oh, they are all so nice, but those rolled metal beads are my absolute favorite! Just like paper only metal--that looks challenging! What a great idea though!
I love the rolled metal beads. They are gorgeous!
Wow - those are beautiful. I love, love copper and you are right - there isn't a lot of pure handmade things around. I also like that wood graining - very cool.
