Halloween Necklace. Super Easy.

I found this site about polymer clay projects and links. I don’t have any affiliation with them… just thought it was nice. This is their short video showing how to make a polymer clay “ghost witch.”

If you are looking for a unique non-polymer bead, head on over to the 7 Yaks Design bead section for a wide selection.

Remember that this month we have an October Treat for the shoppers at 7 Yaks Design. Hover over there to get all the spooky details.

Did you know that you can buy a nice gift for someone from 7 Yaks Design and have it shipped to their address at no extra charge? Gift giving the easy way.

Beth Grant makes lampwork beads.

Beth Grant demonstrates how she makes decorative glass beads by the lampwork method.

Using a propane torch, she turns different coloured glass rods into multicoloured beads by melting and turning them on a mandrill.

The beads are further decorated with small bits of glass called frit, and then finished in a kiln.

The finished beads are utilised to make jewellery and enhance small items such as pens and paté knives. Beth is based in Orton, Ontario. Recorded during the Hills of Erin studio tour in September 2007.

You can shop the many lampwork (and other) beads at http://www.sevenyaks.etsy.com
