What I've been beading lately

This bottom image is a close up of a three stranded choker. It was hard to get a good image of the whole since it doesn't lay like a regular necklace, but this shows how it would look laying flat against the throat.

At Last!

Finally! I was able to go to the bead store the other night and I found some great beads in her discontinued bin. I’ve become quite inspired. For the past two evenings I’ve been able to get back to my passion. And, boy, has it taken over rather rapidly.

For so many weeks I’ve been unable to bead either because of family duties or lack of the proper beads. Now that I’ve got new stuff the passion is back. I started by making black and blue bracelets for my nephew. He’s 11 and asked if I could make him a bracelet. I said sure and asked what colors he wanted. Black and blue was the answer, no silver just black and blue. So I had to do some searching for manly beads in the proper colors. I think they turned out well. He hasn’t seen them yet so I’m not sure how he will like them.

Then, last night I was up until 2:00 in the morning painstakingly threading seed beads onto stretch cord. I finished 2 bracelets, 1 ankle bracelet and 2 necklaces. They turned out nice if I do say so myself. I hope to add pictures of them soon so you can see them. I found some great stone beads that are a pale green crystal. They look great all made up.

Now that I’ve started again it seems that’s all I think about. I just can’t wait to get home from work so I can create!

Whine, Whine Go Away!

I feel so depressed today. I haven't been able to bead for 4 days in a row and it's killing me! My great aunt has needed someone to stay with her 24/7 while her housemate is in the hospital for a hip replacement so my entire family (all 4 of us) have been taking turns staying with her in shifts. Between work and Aunt Mabel there just hasn't been time to sit down and create. I have been commissioned to make 4 necklaces and another set of bracelets which have my fingers itching to get started. And, now my 11 year old nephew wants to know if I'll make a "guy" bracelet for him. I said sure. I'm actually kind of excited to try my hand at some masculine jewelry. I have ideas flying around in my head for that as well, but can't do anything about it for at least a couple more days. Bummer! Maybe by the next time I post I'll have new bracelets and necklaces to boast about instead of whinning. Thanks for letting me vent. ;-)

My True Feelings

Your Theme Song is Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf

"I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under" A total independent spirit, you can't be held down or fenced in. You crave the feeling of wind on your face... and totally freedom.
