------------------

This year 2016 my wife Cheryl Anne wanted to make beads for our customers. She asked me to cut and clean some beads for her to use. I cut her some small hole 1/2 inch size cylinder beads. Joe and I made many of this size bead, but he liked that size too so we did not have any left to use. So on Friday December 2nd, Cheryl Anne decides she better start making the beads so she can include a bead in each of the customers orders going out in December. She wanted to get this done right away. She spent most the day making beads for our customers. She used Joe Spencer's, Original Enamel mix called Christmas, since the beads would be given away during December it seemed the natural choice. She pulled out a small size set from the drawer and went into the studio. My wife uses one of Joe Spencer's older Original Bead Pulling Station. He made her a special set up to make her beads back in 1999. I think she will wear that thing out in about another 30 years. She likes to roll the bead 3 separate times into the base color, then she uses one coat of the frit and holds it into the flame to watch the color spread out. She kept doing this for hours. Then she finally ran out of gas. For those of you who know my wife, that is the only way to get my wife to stop making beads. She would make them all day, if she could. I’ll go tomorrow and pick up some more gas for her. She let the beads cool in the bead pulling station. Then the next day, she pulls the beads out. She likes to sand the edges and clean out the hole areas. She feels this extra step just makes the beads look nicer. She could not believe it. She made 57 beads that day. She was quite surprised to find out that she had used only 1/2 of her enamel bead mix ! When we say that a little mix goes along way. Well, its true ! If you think about it for a minute, she made 57 beads and still has 1/2 of her mix left. Which means she could make over 100 beads with that small amount of mix. No wonder our customers love us.

 The money spent is worth every penny of the fulfillment and joy of making your own beads. We hope you enjoy our enamel mixes as much as we do.
