Art Charm Swap




On the heels of the fabulous Art Bliss Retreat, where I participated in a leaf charm swap (photos to come) I am also participating in Jennifer Cameron's Inaugural Art Charm Swap. She chose three colors from the fall color forecast and challenged readers to make an art charm using one of the three colors. I chose Living Coral and hand-mixed some enamel, hoping I could get close enough! I am really enjoying making my enameled beads right now, so made my charm with a filigree bead and a turquoise round. I really hope it's close enough to the correct color!

Now, I'm off to reopen my etsy store and take out the listing that I SOLD at the Art Bliss Retreat! I also have a wicked sore throat today...

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.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
