 Polar Bear

 Take a look the detail, lovely isn't it?

 When I saw this bear, I remember Golden Compass's giant bear - Mr.Lorek Byrnison

 Sexy bear *wink*

 ::: Krobo Glass Bead :::

My friend just came home from Ghana - Africa and my Krobo arrived! 

::: Chevron And MetalFish :::

All of these beads made from polymer clay by Wulan Pelita Craft. I'm so happy, cause a lot of polymer clay artist in my country now.

 ::: Gudo Recycled Traditional Glass Bead :::

I just received this batch for my shop from my craftmen at Gudo. So gorgeous and lovely colors right.

 One characteristic of Gudo recycled glass bead is always transparent. The color can be derived from dyed the bead or original color from the glass material.

 The black above is dyed one.

The yellow, clear water and blue sea below are original colors of the glass, no dyed.

 And the photo below isn't Gudo recycled glass bead, but Gudo glass bead with large hole.

::: Seed Bead :::

 My precious treasure!!!

Show Off Part I

New seed beads has arrived *yiippiie* some new colors, some restock, cause I adore the colors and I usually use it in my design. Most of my seed bead I bought from local shop and local online shop. When I bought seed bead from overseas, I never doubt about the size. But lately, there are events that disturb me when making jewelry using seed beads that I bought from local shop / online shop. It's 11o size. I made sama design, one using Miyuki 11o that I bought from overseas with blue color, and the other using Miyuki 11o that I bought from local with red color. The result is different. I'm quite surprise. At first glance, they look the same. But when I lined the two colors on needle, yes it's different size. I guess the blue is 11o and the red is 13o. I'll show you on other post about this. But, is there any information that I should know about Miyuki size? I think Miyuki has same size for 11o although different colors right, as long as it is the same round Miyuki.

It's time to temporarily store my new seed bead and take out my wirework gear *hwaiting* time to learn new thing.
