I've been looking at the new metal bead pens (I have one
that a friend gave me)...and thinking that I'd like to make a long tube bead for them. Of course these don't have to
be used w/ the metal pens! They are WONDERFUL focals all on their own :-)Yesterday (8/12/05), I made two and I WILL
be making more! Now, I just need to get some bead pens ;-) In the mean time, if you would like to buy a pen blank
to use w/ my beads, you can find them here
(8/13/05) More tubes today :-)
8/14/05 And some more! I LOVE making these!!! I am still "playing"
w/ the prices on these...I doubt the price will go down, but they may go up...I will honor the price listed when you e-mail
me for them...but if you are torn and wait, don't be surprised if the price has changed. Why am I "playing" w/ the price?
I've just started making the long tubes (not easy for me) and so it's taking a long time to make each bead. I've priced
the beads lower than I should, when based on time...expecting that I will get quicker w/ time and not wanting to charge more
than I have to. However...I am sometimes a bit "off" on how much time I can shave off of something ;-)
