What are you all working on?
I'm working on a bead embroidered purse. There is no real theme to it, but it sticks to a color scheme of black and purple (and iris) and has at least one heart on each panel. Originally I thought that I could get away with no hand sewing (other than the beading), but now that I've actually started constructing it I think I'm mistaken. Ah well, it should be pretty when it's done, if I do it correctly. I've got about half of the beading done. Here's a Work In Progress pic: http://www.valeriebeads.com/panel1copy.jpg I've already got an idea for the next purse/bag, although I haven't yet thought of the purse shape and construction. ;-) Too bad these things take so looong to make. I mean, they take about as long as any seed beaded piece, but lately I just haven't had the concentration to sit long than a half...oh look at the pretty butterflies... So lets see your project(s)! -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summer sale 20-30% off all beads at valeriebeads.com http://www.valeriebeads.com/beads.html (August 14th - August 21st) http://valeriebeads.etsy.com |

I will be working on fused glass for awhile. I bought two molds, one
for smallish (10) rounds and one for drop shapes. I plan on using frit and then combining the rounds as the stud part of the earring and then hanging a drop from it with those small earring bales. When I get some done, I'll post them on my website. Other than that, I'm not going to be doing any more shows - sales are low here and there's a lot of stuff I want to do for Christmas and stuff for ME. I'm also teaching beading classes more and I enjoy that. Patti |

Oh, and what I've been working on:
My first time at herringbone: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/herringbone1.jpg And some more maille earrings. These are smaller than they look in the photo, and boy were they a bear! http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/mailleears2sm.jpg -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Valerie" wrote in message ...

Thanks Shirley! I really am enjoying the bead embroidery. I could possibly
open doors to regular embroidery, but I need another hobby/obsession like I need another hole in the head. ;-) Although I'm *sure* you don't know what I'm talking about do you?? wink wink -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summer sale 20-30% off all beads at valeriebeads.com http://www.valeriebeads.com/beads.html (August 14th - August 21st) http://valeriebeads.etsy.com "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ...

Patti it sounds lovely! Be sure to post in here too when you have something
to show. Sales seem to be slow everywhere...sigh. I haven't done a show since I last did one with Linda2 when I lived in FL. In a way I miss them; despite the hassle it was fun (plus I got to hang with Linda!). -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summer sale 20-30% off all beads at valeriebeads.com http://www.valeriebeads.com/beads.html (August 14th - August 21st) http://valeriebeads.etsy.com "Patti" wrote in message oups.com...
