Show Me Sunday

This week, as the last post showing off bead school types of links, I have some images from the Fusion Beads website, which has a whole section for beading and jewelry crafting techniques.  I particularly love the more advanced metalworking and crafting technique links.  They really have some great ideas and tips on how to personalize your jewelry to make it different and unique, which is great for people who make and use unique art beads in their jewelry!
 
Thank you to the commenters who left links so we could find these treasures to show off!
 
Show Me SPOOKY Things!
 
For October, to celebrate the spookiest month of the year, please show me some links to handmade beads, pendants, and jewelry components that are scary, spooky, and in the Halloween spirit! Post your links in the comments here and I will select some of your ideas you leave on this post to highlight in another Show Me Sunday post.

Surely I'm not the only one with a childish soft spot for glow-in-the-dark jewellery supplies? (I'm even going to blog about that tomorrow)
