Nancy's Round Rabbit Extra Shop on Etsy is home to lovely ceramic jewelry components - under $10!
Pick up an entire set of beads for $15 including a handcrafted Art Bead at Melanie's Earthenwood Etsy Shop
Erin of Every Heart Crafts has lovely Leaf Toggles that would go well in many different designs for $10.
Then there's my bronze gear beads which can be had for only $7.00.
So when you're bead shopping, don't forget to take a look at artist made beads, they're unique and reasonably priced!

Great beads Cindy...love the bronze "gear bead"!!
I love artist made beads and buy what I like when it fits within my budget...it would make me happy to use all artist made!
Thanks for sharing...
Cheers
Love your whimsical Gear Bead. It's amazing that all those handcrafted beads are priced so reasonably. $15 and under is an incredible bargain for something handcrafted and so intricate!
Agreed! Once I got over my first purchase hurdle the rest came easy (and pretty free flowing too!). I have something from each of these... and your bronze gear too! So cute! And a work of art in miniature that is very portable and wearable!
Enjoy the day!

Great beads! Thanks for sharing!
I love artist beads. But my community does not value the craftmanship that goes into them, or that they are getting one-of-a-kind-especially after I mark the price to ensure a profit for myself. They would rather go to Target or Walmart. Gotta find a better market.
But I keep buying them anyway.
