Hey twin.......that is the kind that I like to make, but I am not in your
league yet. I am also not into weaving or seedbeads either......just not my
thing. I prefer something like you do that makes "an elegant
statement".......a bigger piece or two, but not gaudy.

I am working on one with Vintaj brass at the moment that was featured in
BeadStyle.....I fell in love with that one and had to order the Vintaj from
the US.....but it's here and I am playing with the pearl colour combinations
at the moment. I will be making two. One in coppers and golds, and one in
blues and greens.

I have only been into this for 2.5 years......and with no LBS anymore and no
one I have found that is into this other than making *pop-it bead necklaces*
with Michaels stuff, I learn from magazines and things on the Internet.
Also from Dwyn, who does the most beautiful lampwork....but I won't tell her
that, grin. And I will get out to BeadFX one of these days for a class in
bead crochet.

My daughter does a smashing job as well, but then she is an artist and one
up on me there. When she gets home for Xmas, we will be glued to the joolz
table, lol. We work really well together......lots of giggles as well. But
unfortunately she lives out in Vancouver BC, so only gets here once a year.

Cheers....Heather

thanks!!

I really had a blast doing the bride and mother's jewelry. Those two
would make a great example of the type of jewelry that I like to make. I
could never get into weaving or using seedbeads cause those things are so
damn small... *squinting* very very hard to see and time consuming to use
I bet.

Absolutely exquisite!! You did a marvellous job on all of it. I, of
course, am partial to the greens and just love the mother of the bride
set. But the bride's jewellery is so unique!! I see what you mean re the
red.....it is lovely too, but as I am also not a red person, I would
prefer working with the greens or turquoises.

I end up working with a lot of shades of blue, and sterling silver. But
as I was (operative word here) a redhead and have green eyes, I prefer
gold and greens. But my pocketbook prefers sterling, lol.

Again.....you did a SMASHING job on all of it......it is beautiful.

Cheers......Heather

I think sage green is more of a silverish green gray ... if you know what
I mean.
I like all colors, with Blue being my favorite, but I don't like working
with Reds. Weird huh?


I finished the jewelry, imaged them all, and put it up on a temporary
page on the net.... http://members.cox.net/silveredleaf/index.htm

Its funny, but I re-did the red jewelry about 5 times each till I
settled on what you see. Like I said before, the blue and green jewelry
were a lot of fun to make cause those two have to be my favorite colors
to work with.

Hmmm, if I called it "sage green" would you like it better?? I happen
to LOVE sage green and am trying to imagine whether khaki is different.
Is it? Just a thought.

Khaki. Ugh. I just tried a new (to me) glass last night and it came
out Khaki. I've decided that's it - that the colour I can't stand - I
can't even be objective about the shape of the bead - because the
colour is getting in the way.
