Have you seen the new Beads 2009 Magazine? I love the overview they give – all kinds of different beads, from art beads to czech, to whatever! If you noticed the magazine, you may have noticed there’s a key bead on the front cover – not mine, of course, but a key bead nonetheless. I think these are very cool things to use in your jewelry. As pendants, for sure. Are there other uses? I’m sure someone is going to come up with one. I can think of using it on your key ring, or on your purse as a decoration. Can you think of others? I know I enjoy making them!

New Key Bead!
The key bead I made yesterday! This key isn’t round, so it moves up and down on the key, but doesn’t spin. It’s in a desert southwest twisted flower pattern – hopefully in etsy later!
In Other News…
Here’s another key bead I made today – I love it! It’s bullseye antique white with Kaleidoscope frit by Glass Diversions. I really like the earthy colors! I think this will be the first one in the etsy store – maybe tomorrow! Click on the photo to see it bigger. This bead spins around the key, so you can play with it!
My First Key Bead
I got this cool key bead mandrel from Jelveh, and made my first key bead the other day. I can’t wait to make more – it’s fun! I used the worst rusty key I had, in case I messed up because the key is not round but flat; it came out great for a first try!
