Feet for Standups

Paula's Halloween poison bottle display is amazing!

Check out the "feet" on the bottles.  She doesn't say, but I think they might be lampwork beads.  If you need something for the bottom of your standup, browse Etsy searching for "lampwork beads" or "dreadlock beads."  It's possible that clay beads shaped like animals might work, too.  Pay careful attention to the size of the bead.  You'll need something that's big enough to not be overwhelmed by the stitching and that will adequately support your standup.

Lampwork Beads from Grace Ma

I like lampwork beads. They are very very decorative, even when they are not made by the amazing Grace Ma.  But when they are, they are lovely art.

Most of the big online bead stores sell Grace Beads in case you need the perfect embellishment.

I don't know if the examples she used will still be available in Orna's Etsy store, but lucky us--she has 33 scissor fobs there as I write this!
