7000 Bracelets Blog Hop Info

Just wanted to do a little recap on the 7,000 Bracelets Blog Hop I am holding! This is a blog hop for Global Genes - they donate blue awareness bracelets made by jewelry designers and artists just like you, to families with members who have chronic, life threatening diseases. My original post is right here.

The reveal date is November 25th. You need to make a blue bracelet, and it would be nice if it was adjustable since you don't know who is receiving your bracelet. Please sign up on their donation page right here:

7000 Bracelets for Hope

You do not have to wait until the reveal date to send in your bracelet(s). You can do that at any time, the blog hop is just to show everyone what you made! I will try and send out a list of everyone's links by this weekend, but it's going to take a little work so please be patient!

If you still want to sign up, please do. I will add links on my blog post on November 25th and then you can copy them on the day of the reveal if there are many late-comers.

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party? Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1. Lori Anderson, Pretty Things 2. Kitty Durmaj, Perles and Life 3. Michelle Heim, Life In the Bead Lane 4. Lisa Petrillo, Lucid Moon Studio 5. Anitra Gordy, Leelu Creations 6. Paige Maxim, Paige Maxim Designs 7. Marianna Boylan, Pretty Shiny Things 8. Cheryl Roe, BeadRoe 9. Heidi Post, Ex Post Facto 10. Cindy Wimmer, Sweet Bead Studio 11. Terri Gauthier, Blooming Ideas 12.

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Today is the day of the big Bead Soup Blog Party reveal! Lori Anderson, the wonderful host of this event, reported that there are 362 participants this year! That's a lot of blogs to look at. I will try my best to get to each and every one, but it may take weeks! My partner was Laura Zeiner from Stick Lizard Designs . She has a lot of talent, that girl. If you recall in my previous post , she sent me these beads: And this is what I made: I love love love the focal she sent me. It's gorgeous! The lack of sun here in Pittsburgh does nothing for this rock! The colors and crystals are beautiful! I had no idea what to do with it, though, and I pondered for quite a while. I decided to make links with 18 gauge copper wire and think I did an ok job at it. I'm sure there are some better ways to do this, and I'd love to hear about them. I'm just really starting to get into the world of wire and so my skills aren't that great. In any event, I made some beady links

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it. I had ideas right away. I had so many I had to control myself. You can buy these for $15 each, too! Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings. The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops. Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop. Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons. The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
