Description

The listing, Huge Bead Lot Winner gets more than pictured!!! has ended.

HUGE AUCTION- not all beads are shown- so please read for details of this big lot! :D

I used to make jewelry for a living and have loads of amazing beads and findings that I have decided to get rid of. I will be listing MANY MANY more bead and jewelry findings lots in the upcoming weeks. So please keep your eyes open! :D

The photos do NOT reflect the number of beads included- (there will be more than shown- I just didn't want to take them all out for the photos.)

There are NO seed beads in any of my listings!!! All beads are glass, wood, ceramic and plastic unless otherwise noted.

Here is an itemized count of the beads for this lot:

1. 20 PAIRS of earring findings (silver toned) 10 pairs gold toned (not pictured- but they are the same as the silver- size and everything...)
2. Clear beads of various sizes and shapes 80
3. Glass and Ceramic beads- these are some of my absolute favorites- I will group them together in colors- winner can let me know which colors they want!!! OR I can just send my favorites. 60 small beads and 20 larger beads (photos 11-18, 20 and 21 are in this category)
4. gold hoop findings for earrings or can be used to make pendants (If you want me to tell you how I used to do this just ask!) 4 pairs- total of 8
5. Head pins: silver 1" 10 pieces, 2" 16 pieces
6. various beads (shown in photos- silver ones and triangle looking ones) there will be at LEAST a total of 20 pieces- I will be going through my beads- and will send as many as I find for this lot!
7. green jade rectangular beads (photos 8-10) are ones I HATE to get rid of because I was saving them to do something fabulous with... there are 4 of these- as shown. The detail on these beads are pretty fantastic- I think I paid something insane like $6 or $8 a bead for these alone...

If this auction goes to 500 credits I will add an additional bead for every credit!!! AND NO SEED BEADS!!! :D

Shipping is free

Any questions please ask-

Thank you! I will fan you back! I'm waiting to see how this auction does before I list other lots. :D

I absolutely love the green rectangle beads. That's what caught my eye first. Beautiful. Thanks.

Aug 16th, 2011 at 3:02:15 PM PDT by

I KNOW! I had been holding onto to these to do something special with them. I have a small box of special beads like these- there will be at least one grouping of these in every bead auction lot I list. Going through all of the great unique pieces made me realize they NEED to go to a good home and be made into something spectacular! :D

Aug 16th, 2011 at 4:13:38 PM PDT by

Fanned you for having such a great bead auction & for the free shipping too. thank you very much! also, could you message me the tip that you mentioned above about how you turned the hoop findings into pendants. I make jewelry and am always open yo new ideas to broaden my skills. Thank you in advance for your reply!

Aug 14th, 2011 at 1:15:55 AM PDT by

:D I will send you a private email later today to explain how I've turned the hoop findings into cute pendants- I am going to see if I can find a couple that I made and take a couple of pics for you to see what I mean. :D Making jewelry is soooooo relaxing. I just haven't been that creative lately- don't know why. I am thinking about auctioning off my jewelry tools- I have a pretty great set... I'm making a mental note to send you an email if I end up listing them... :D
Cheers

how much would it cost to ship to canada?

Aug 17th, 2011 at 9:16:20 AM PDT by

I think $3.00 would be great- paypal would be preferable.

:D :D I think the bead auctions have been my favorite to watch. :D

Aug 19th, 2011 at 5:37:54 PM PDT by

Just started making my own jewelry just for Listia (Then realized how expensive good beads are) But you are right, it is soo relaxing & I just love the idea of my work going out all over the US for someone I dont even know! :-) I just finished 16 auctions of my jewelry & it went everywhere from the West coast to the East coast! Awesome feeling! Fanned & watching!

Aug 19th, 2011 at 7:52:17 PM PDT by

Oh wow! I am going to check out your auctions right now... I LOVE handmade jewelry- and yes, beads ARE EXPENSIVE. But it's almost like therapy... being creative and putting something beautiful together! Can't wait to see your jewelry. :D

Aug 19th, 2011 at 10:50:53 PM PDT by

Let me know if and when you put tools on and I'm watching

Aug 21st, 2011 at 8:50:54 AM PDT by

OK! I have been going back and forth and back and forth on this idea. I KNOW it's the right thing to do because they will go to a good home... I'm not QUITE there yet. :) but I wrote your profile name down in my Listia notebook (I've been writing down requests by people so I don't say I'll do something and then forget!) and I will be sure to send you a message if they are listed. :D

I love this auction, I want to make simple jewelry with my three granddaughters
<----- youngest is 5, others are 7 and 9. I love having them over but need somethng to keep them occupied,
I just went through your other auctions and am watching some and fanning you
I would love the directions on how to make the hoops into pendants,

Aug 21st, 2011 at 10:33:09 AM PDT by

I have another person that I am going to send the SIMPLE directions to with photos- I'll send it to you at that time as well. I am pretty limited in my mobility right now- (recovering from back surgery) but as soon as I can get up and about on my own I will find a couple of the pieces I made and take photos- and mail them to you!
If you happen to win this auction please remind me that you want to make jewelry with your grandchildren and I will try to locate these ceramic hand painted beads with animals on them. :D No promises... but i THINK I know where they are! :D

Aug 21st, 2011 at 11:03:16 AM PDT by

Thanks so much, I know they would appreciate it,
