and we have completed a portion of the beaded, the jeweled frames so we will continue this and it will turn out like this. But before we do that I want to talk about keeping your beads organized. I love these little containers. There is about eighteen compartments and I like to keep the same color schemes in each of these. So you have all of your golds and coopers in one. Then all of your blues in another and so on and so forth and you can have doubles and triples of the same color lot. But it just helps keep you organized when you are creating a frame like this. It's easy to find the colors and sizes that you need for gluing and it makes the process go a lot quicker. And you can see here I have anywhere from two millimeter beads all the way up to giant ten millimeter beads. You can even use these on your frame as end pieces or a focal point every so often. And even though it has a green tint, there is a lot of gold and cooper inside the bead. So when it's all finished, you can see in this frame, I have some greens and in there and it just draws out the cooper much nicer. So keeping your beads organized in this way is really important to make the process go quicker.
