Recycled metal beads by Debbi Austin

November 11, 2007 (posted by chettid)

5.jpgIf you’ve read through the December issue of Bead & Button, the interesting-looking beads in this add may have caught your eye. (They certainly caught mine.)

Handmade by Debbi Austin, they feature metal from all kinds of kitshy vintage found-objects, including old toys, games, and photographs. (Take a look at the top of the bead in the add - it’s actually a beautiful old coin, which works perfectly in the design.)

Debbie was selected as a Finalist for this technique in the 2007 Bead & Button Bead Dreams Contest. To find out which of her one-of-kind beads are currently available for purchase, visit the Glass Onion website.
