Baby Pods!

I had someone on LE (a glass beadmakers forum) come up with the name podlets for these cute buggers. I made a bunch of them and sent some to the lovely Lori Anderson for her monthly Cup Of Bead Soup.
I had a blast picking out some super cool beads to go with all the glass beads I sent her. I love an eclectic mix of beads. No simple stuff for me. It's great to have  a mix of complimentary colors, metals, pressed glass, wood, bone and lampwork.
I like the movement and texture of a piece that contains all those elements.
What turns you on when it comes to designing a piece? The colors, the glass, the metal?

  4. I totally agree with getting little "smackrels" of different things. I sent Mary a bead soup like this. I love the name "podlets" so cute :) I love to name my beads fun things!

    I would say all of the above. I love color, texture, shape. I love intricate designs with something exciting for my eyes to look at through the whole design.
