Thank you for your recent purchases of The Usual Suspects and bone beads.

These beads are ready to go off to the UK, US and Canada. Fly, be free.

The Usual Suspects

My pets, similar to your pets I am sure, have perfected The Innocent Look. Sometimes they are cute. Sometimes they are naughty. (And sometimes it is at the same time.)

What my pets most often are “the cause” of though, is something different…

They are my muses and my inspiration! They make me laugh every day, and for that, I am always grateful for my pets.

And so…. here are my pets, in bead form.

Prices: Each bead, wired up with sterling silver components, and shipped to US addresses:

• Quincy = $25
• Argos = $25
• Sophie = $22
• Barnie = $25

If you need international shipping, do not want them wired up, or would like to purchase more than one, please email me for a deal.

Purchasing: First come, first served. Claim yours with an email. Here are a couple of examples of beads wired up.

Update: All beads found a home. I am keeping the Usual Suspects here.

Getting in the holiday spirit

First of a few beads I am going to list here on the Bead Blog this week. Why not my Etsy store? Because I am lazy pressed for time, and this is easier. <g>

Examples of beads wired up

Here are two beads that recently sold – the recipients requested that they be “wired up” so I thought I would take a photo of the finished products.

It is now Thanksgiving Week (yay – favorite holiday!) – I plan to list a few over the break, but any beads sold won’t be shipped until next Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your interest!

Beads for Sale

About time, huh? I have been lame at updating my Etsy store, but honestly… it takes so much time taking all of the photos, doing the individual listings, etc. So I am going to do a “group shot” here like the old days and see how that works.

I participated in a 24-hour Blogathon 2010, a charity event to raise money for a seizure alert dog for a 4-year old boy. I made one post an hour for 24 hours (harder than it looks! lol) and gave away beads. It was great fun and lots of funds were raised. Donations still being collected.

During the Blogathon, Hour #3, I talked about making bone beads, so here are some bones. And a kitty. Each bead is $18.00. If you would like it wired up ready-to-wear with sterling and Swarovski crystal, that is $3.00 additional. Shipping is $1.50 for US. Will quote for international destinations.

Please email me with your choice(s) – first come, first served.

Update: Everything is SOLD. I will be listing new beads over the next week. Thank you!

New Beads – Breakfast!

Blogathon 2010 Beads

I am participating in the DrV Pawcurious Blogathon this year. (It is like a walk-a-thon for online people.) Each of us will be posting one post an hour for 24 hours to raise money for animal charities.

I am fundraising for 4 Paws for Ability in honor of Bradyn Ferguson with Dr V and other bloggers. There are other causes being supported with this blogathon as well – check them out under each participant’s blog blurb. A win-win for everyone.

I will be blogging at my other blog, AboutVetMed.com for this event. The beads pictured below will be part of the fun – prizes throughout the 24-hours. More details here.

Special Edition Bones

Been busy making beads!

I have my work cut out for me – wiring up these beads for a couple large orders. I hope to get a few up on Etsy one of these days, too.

In the meantime, here are some Special Edition black-and-pink bone beads that are available now.
Story and details here.

Update August 25, 2010 – new photos added (see below)

Here are some new photos of the beads (and the reason I made them) that I talked about in this post.

Thank you everyone who has helpedby sending good thoughts, spreading the word, and donating for this important cause.
