Wow I have been working my tail off. I haven't been posting much because I have been using whatever free time to work on all those projects I have been putting off until later. Well, later has finally arrived! I am getting my butt in gear. I am doing spring cleaning. First I have cleaned my...

Hi everyone, I have a new piece to share. It's actually a crazy quilt block, but there are beads on it :-). It's the first time I beaded around a cabochon. I don't know that I did it exactly the way you should, but it worked, and looks the way it's supposed...

Hi all - I'm doing something new for me - starting 3 auctions at 99 cents. Blue Roses Before and After the Rain - blues twisted on periwinkle that has been dotted with medium purple for a deep purple base. Capped with clear raindrops, partnered with light turquoise flying suacer beads. Circus...

OK, here are the latest efforts from my agreement with Sooz last week in which I told her I was on a red diet. Sooz had very tactfully suggested that my designs might/could benefit from such an !extreme!, for me.... so here are some postings for this week, beginning after Mosaic. There may be...

Bad pic, awesome beads (Kalera's), pretty nice necklace... if I say so myself! (remember... bad, and not final, pic!) http://snipurl.com/ge8y And my first bezeled/beaded cabochon! (cool moon man from Di!) Had no clue what I was doing and fortunately the leather backing was as soft as cloth and...

Surely these can be made by the lampworker? SS rods in various sizes can't take a whole lot of special prep, right? Does anyone here make their own? Where do you get the rod material, a welding supplier? Hardware store? Do you think I used enough "?s" in just a few lines of text? Should I...

Hi Tina! and thank you for the beautiful cards. I have a question for the group tho---what kind of BEADS would one wear to "go with " a formal dress made of wasp nests? -- Sarajane's Polyclay Gallery Beads-Dolls-Wearable Art www.polyclay.com see the current auctions at: http://snipurl.com/aiid

Hello, I am a professional jewellery designer who has just gone online for the first time. I now have web presence, but I know more about hand-crafted jewellery than I do about designing websites. So, please bear with me. My name is Sue Porter and I am based in sunny Brisbane Australia. If you...

Well, for me they are a bit wild anyway - so many colors, so little time.... http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgwacie -- Bethany (gwacie) beads - www.gwaciebeads.com glass - www.bethanyadams.com

I absolutely love this set and I'll be sad and happy if it sells. It's my first set of beads I've set aside funds to make it a featured auction. http://snipurl.com/eqsn I know someone somewhere has probably made the same kinds of beads that are featured in this auction but I've never seen them. ...

OK, not really. Besides, the King Dome was imploded several years ago, remember that? I wanted to go watch, but I had to be at work at 7 the next morning so it wasn't practical. If you're from the Seattle area, about twenty years ago there were these incredibly obnoxious commercials with the...

Tonight I went through my soft-glass sets that are up in my Glassartists.org gallery, and gave a brief outline of the glass colors/materials used in making each one. I thought a few people might find it interesting/useful, so if you want to check it out, here's the...

Hi Y'all, I've just listed a special set of Seashell beads titled "Oceans of Hope". A fellow artisan and friend of mine, Lisa, has recently found out she has Uterine Cancer. She has no insurance and I'm hoping this auction will help her out a little bit with her expenses. I will have the winning...

I have been getting spam from myself according to the return address. Please check anything with my name on it before opening it. It is my "vine at snowcrest.net" email that has been hijacked. sorry if it gets you. it honestly isn't me. Armand -- http://www.dvinedzines.com

I dunno what else to say besides that. My students ROCK... my kiln is full of more beads than I have ever seen in one place. It's incredible! I was so nervous last night that I actually dreamed that I didn't have any glass in the studio when they came in the morning, and that for some reason it...

How boring is it? Nine times out of ten, the top story on the local news is about the weather. Bad weather or good weather, it makes no difference. On the local TV magazine program, they're doing a series on -- get this -- large rocks. I think it's the second anniversary of the fall of the Old...

WARNING this link may contain words/language offensive to some people.. Since everyone has differing levels of tolerances regarding stuff like that, I'll just say if it were TV, I'd be on cable... the good kind (NO, not nudiepeople cable, just the cable channels that don't drive you crazy with all...
