| 2007 - SEPTEMBER - Dustin Tabor Class | |||
| We thought you might like to see some of Dustin Tabors beads. Some were made by Dustin in class; some were made by students; and one is the Warring States Bead that Dustin made at the September meeting demo. | |||
|
In this photo, Dustin preparing to
case a bead. He is heating a huge gather - 2 to 3 times the size
of the bead to be cased. Dustin uses the same technique for
creating a round base bead. He heats a large gather - and applies
it to the mandrel in one step to make the bead.
|
|||
| Below are some of the beads, pendants, and earrings that Dustin brought with him. The lighting wasn't great so the photos don't capture the amazing color intensity in these pieces but at least you can see the detail. | |||

The beads on the left are so
perfect, we think they must be the ones made by Dustin during the Friday
class. From left to right is a flower pendant, a cased dot bead, a
star bead, a cased striped bead, a triangular bead, a pod, a twisted dot
bead and an eye pendant.
