Not that kind of brew, though I almost picked something with a “tea” flavor in the beads. Another time. Instead I’m stretching the theme a bit with witches (you’ll have to imagine the brew).

It’s Ornament Thursday and along with my project,  you’ll find links to about a dozen other great projects in the theme of “Brew”. I am headed out of town on Friday to lovely Burlingame across from San Francisco for a three-day class, Hooked on Wire. It’s my second year and I’m almost ready (OK, I’ll start packing Friday morning :) ).

In the meantime, I found some very cute lampwork beads by Suzy Lambert (Rhapsody Fire Beads) from a couple years ago. Very appropriate for the theme and leading into Halloween. As time was limited, I chose to make some stylishly simple hairsticks with the witch bead and a coordinating ghost bead as the decorations. They are wired with sterling silver wire and ready to wear! That’s it. Easy Peasy. I got these hairsticks from Fire Mountain Gems.

  

 

 

Here’s another look at them. Be sure to take a look at the rest of the projects from the talented OT group!
