This month I was busy making Kaleidoscopes, each one is reversible! First I wanted to use my new dichroic delicas for some beaded tubes. The delicas are so pricey, a teeny tube of one gram was $15.00 but I knew I had to try them. I decided to use sparingly in these patterned tubes. The pattern here is from the book Bead Tube Jewelry. I suspect it has been done many times before this book came out. I taught a class in 2008 using lots of these tubes with my own patterns. You can see the Halloween tube bracelet here! Now there's a book of some other patterns, how fun. I only used the dichroics the center of the diamonds but wow what a difference it makes. POP!

These are the beaded beads I made using dichroic delicas. I used them in just the center of the diamonds because they are so full of 'light' they just pop.

I love playing with color. Another variation of my Reversible Kaleidscopes design is waiting for a neckstrap or to be turned into a Ring.
