As I make the bigger flowers and the more complex beads, I set aside parts of canes and blends to make what I call the tinies – tiny little flower beads, fruits, leaves and whatever else I think of. These make great glue on embellishments, daisy chains, accent beads… I often add them to fill in my bigger, fancier pieces. As I prep for the bead show there’s an awful lot of these being made in every colour I have. They don’t quite roll but you find them everywhere in my house because they’re small enough you don’t notice if they fall off pans, out of bags or pockets.
