I love this month’s theme! I have a few to choose from.😜

Two of my tiniest pieces and then honorable mentions are some that I have made out of beads. 😁💚

Neodymium/Alexandrite Glass Bat Suncatcher

A.k.a. Color changing glass! It looks blueish outside and purpleish inside. 💜🩵🦇

Blind buy win

Its got a dim glow but my powerful lil light makes it appear bright. It was fun hunting it down, but I might part with it since it only glows with a light from underneath.

It was only $20 including shipping.

I had high hopes! Not all yellow Orient and Flume glows. 😭

But he’s cute and chonky so I’m keeping him.

Amazing find on my trip! 😍

I definitely splurged on this one, but I couldn’t pass it up! Now my 2nd UG purse. 😁

I own 2 of these brooches so I’ve got a good hunch about it if anyone was interested. I don’t need a 3rd. 🤣😜

I want to make a pattern tutorial & maybe some kits. Are there any sites to help generate a pdf tutorial?

Hi so I have gotten a few questions on how to make my bats, but I dont know where to start to make a pdf tutorial. I guess I’d also like to know if ppl prefer a written tutorial or a video tutorial? I’m wondering if there is a site that can help me easily generate a pattern? How are ya’ll making your patterns?

I’d also like to offer kits with uranium glass beads because I have a ton of yellow vaseline beads that I dont really gravitate to and dont see myself making bats with that color. I dont like yellow. 😅 I just love uranium glass but green is my fav and it’s just harder to come by. Any who, do you think there would be any interest in a kit with yellow uranium glass beads?

What color would I even pair yellow with? Black? Green? Purple? 😩 Any guidance would be much appreciated!!

Oooh also! What is a good price point for a kit that doesn’t include tools like pliers & wire cutters?

I splurged but he’s so cute! 😭

I guess now I need more bulbous critters in my collection. 😂

Mother’s Day gifts.

I’m the kind of person that forces my interest on others. My mom asked me to make her a pair of blue spider earrings, so she’s getting some ug spiders! 😈 I also thrifted the other paired pictured and since Im not a fan of blue, I will be gifting them to her. 😜

Unbeknownst to her, she will now be a collector. 😂

I’ve added a brooch and shoe earrings for comparison. My shoes earrings have the smallest rhinestones I’ve seen thus far, but then I found these!!!

What do you even make with them??? Have you seen any jewelry with rhinestones this small?

And I live in a very sunny place where most fairs happen during the daylight hours. 🙃

I managed to make my booth interactive while the sun was still out by handing ppl my very bright handheld black light. They had fun seeing that bright green glow suddenly appear. 💚 The kids loved it too.

I was working on this commissioned piece when I thought I had spotted a uranium glass bead on my mat left over from a previous project. And to my surprise, as I was shining my uv light, the raspberries glowed! ❤️‍🔥 Happy little surprise.
