Mr Mo, my black cat, has golden yellow eyes that are quite striking in contrast with his velvety black fur. Last summer I made a series of pet beads in colors of several animal friends, and the Mo series were mostly black with hints of gold and yellow, with clear encasing.
Here are three Mo beads mounted up as a necklace and earrings, with black seed beads providing dangling accents. It is always fun to have part of any jewelry be in motion when the wearer is.

Mandy Hula blue merle beads
I have been working on a series of pet beads. Some were inspired by the unfortunate passing of some dearly beloved pets. I made one series with blacks, grays and hints of brown and blue to honor a blue merle Australian Shepherd, she of the dancing hairy skirts known as Mandy Hula.
Sambeaux tortoiseshell beads
Another series was made to honor a very pretty tortoiseshell long haired cat named Sambeaux. I had a nice time snuggling with Sambeaux, scratching under her chin while she purred nonstop. I will miss both of those dear friends and I know their owner is missing them mightily.
Jasper orange tabby beads
A third series were in the colors of an orange and white tabby, our friendly neighbor cat Jasper. I had not seen him for several weeks and feared the worst, but he showed up with a freshly shaved neck which tells me he must have spent some time at the vet’s. That series was an extra challenge as the opalino cream colored glass has a lower melting point than the clear and amber encasing.
Click on any of the photos to see the entire row of beads in each series. I think Aura Sun Arts will be specializing in these pet beads for many a furry friend. Custom requests are always accepted.
