Today is the reveal for the bead hoarders blog hop!
Our host is the beautiful Lori Anderson, author, inspiration and amazing. Visit her blog here.
I am posting mine tonight because my daughter has a two day softball tournament this weekend!
Okay, confession time… Yes I am a bead hoarder. The first step is admitting it, right?
I just counted, and I have more than seventy plastic bins of beads. On top of that, I have some boxes of vintage goodies that have not seen the light of day for quite some time.
I enjoyed browsing through my hoarded stash.,.
Here are some of the items I pulled out to play with…
Here are the results…

I think half the fun of this challenge was going through one’s boxes and trays to find forgotten things! I love what you pulled out and used in your necklaces.
I LOVE your freeform designs and every necklace – great job!!
Laren
Each is so beautiful and unique. Isn’t it fun looking through the bead stash!
Holy cow – you have an amazing stash! There is no way I could have made a decision on what to use! You obviously made the right choices – your pieces are amazing! I love the loose wirework of the pendants and the juxtaposition of the industrial/vintage feel. Beautiful!
Lovely work! I love the look of the dark wire
Beautiful designs and stunning photos, Kris… it is obvious that beads are NOT the only goodies you hoard, girl!
So, so beautiful! I love your swirly, romantic wire work…I’m so envious of your skill!
I’d love to see your stash. Even better, I’d love to pick from your stash and have you make me a piece. When I win the lotto, I will woo you into it!
i’ve never seen anything like that–they are gorgeous
You certainly had a lot to hunt through, but your choices were right on for the amazing wire work you did with each one of them.
Simople and sweet – lovely necklaces! and I LOOOOVE the stash pics – hopefully, you’ll pull it out more often now 😉
I really love the bird nest theme in several of your creations. And thanks to your confession, I’m no longer feeling guilty over my 11 small bins of beads! 😉
I love your pieces – simple and fancy at the same time. I was looking for the like button as I viewed each piece. I really like the first piece where you made section on one side of the necklace. :o)
Patty
Wonderful wirework! Esp. like the blue/grey pearls with the black wire.
I have a hard time working with wire, so seeing your wonderful designs in wire and beads is especially fun! nice designs!
I have to agree the best part of this hop has been getting a glimpse into everyone’s stashes and private hoards. Hope the kiddo did well this weekend!!
It was great to see what you made after a dig for treasure in your stash.
Your wirework is so pretty it’s inspired me to go and learn how to do it. Love the pendants you made. Also seriously envying your stash of vintage beauties.
Beautiful. I adore the use of the darkened wire with the vintage components. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful designs, your wire work is always stunning!
I absolutely love what you have done, the wire work and choice of beads is incredible, great designs.
Your wirework is so lovely and intricate ! The first necklace stole my heart !
Your stash is awesome and your designs are pure loveliness!
Lovely wire work – really shows off your “treasures.”
Your designs and wire work are cool and very unique! Thanks for sharing your hoard pics.
Love all of your freeform designs! My favorite is the one with the white and red bead!
You are a real hoarder, more than seventy plastic bins of beads, wow, you made me smile!!!! Love the dark free style wire work♥♥♥♥ Gorgeous combinations with those other colours! Have a nice summer…
Good job using some of your hoard. I like the blue pearls necklace best.
Your wirework is beautiful! I love the swirls and wraps- Christie
