Playing With Dragons

   Like most bead makers I guess I often have periods of time when I become a little addicted to a certain style or type of bead, usually when I'm either working with a new idea or as with the case now when I'm trying new colours with a favourite design. A lot of my customers will by now realise how much I enjoy producing my "Dragon Scale" beads and other the last week or two it's these that I've been playing with, no design changes but I have experimented with different colours. I've always made the green and blue dragons but until now have never really given other colours a chance and now I'm just trying nearly every colour I have, so far only a few living up to expectations but those which have I'll introduce into the Etsy shop every few days, so keep an eye out if you enjoy using beads with a difference.

   I'm having great feedback from customers who are enjoying the frit and wave sets I'm listing, to be honest, I never really listed these beads much in past years but after having several requests for them I thought it was a good idea to place them in the shop and boy was that the right decision. So many sets have sold and I must admit they really add a great amount of colour at a time when a lot of designers are making jewellery for spring and summer.
   Some of the sets are made up of different sized beads allowing the customers to use them in many more different situations. Other sets are made up of a number of beads all measuring the same, which is the common way of selling sets and most are sold in sets of odd numbers.

   So the Etsy shop is fast growing into a very nice selection of beads with a wide range of beads being added most weeks, More trio sets and earring pairs will be listed this coming week and of course yet more spacer sets in many different colours.
