TOHO Seed Bead Size Chart

TOHO Seed Bead Size Chart

I ran across this TOHO seed bead size chart and I thought I would share!  It's a great reference tool when trying to determine the size of beads.
So my latest endeavor is making tiny handmade bells.  It's an interesting study.  I ran across this video today and just wanted to save it for future reference. I find it fascinating to watch how he works.  I will post back as I move along with the bell making.

Cracked Cabochon While Setting in Bezel

There is nothing more frustrating than spending hours on a handmade sterling silver bezel than having the cabochon crack will you are setting it.  In retrospect I have no one to blame except myself. 
This is one of my favorite necklaces, the Lampwork Vine Necklace. I have made it from sterling silver and lampwork beads.
