What are you working on now?
Always a cool topic... what are you working on now?
I've just finished a bracelet made of opal chips - the real deal. I had ordered them from FMG and was SO disappointed b/c they looked so dowdy on the strand. So I cut the strand and WOWZA did they pop when you looked at them from the top! There is milk opal, jelly opal and pinfire opal all mixed together. I did a simple 3 row peyote base out of clear 7/0's and attached the opal chips to the surface with 15's. Now I'm doing a similar technique for the necklace. Will post pics when I'm done! I just got a lovely dichroic cab combo from Cheryl adorned with poly clay .... and I'll work on that next. It feels good to be beading again.

The bracelet sounds great.
I have ordered some chip beads to make some more Tree of Life pendants. Just having a rest though because I have just made 76 Christmas cards, that part of Christmas is sorted.

I am at the collecting stuff stage, planning to do a series of bead
embroidered things. Since it is a new direction I am having trouble settling on a design to start and will probably end up beading around cabs because it doesn't require too much advance planning. I feel like doing landscapes but not sure if I can do that with such a small space. Ingrid |

Vibrant Jewels wrote: Always a cool topic... what are you working on now? snip What about you? -- Karleen Page After cleaning and rearranging my apartment a bit, I've been in more of a polymer clay mood. My clay station is finally in a place with decent light. I've been caning, bead making, and doing color studies to add pages to my recipe book. I made my first set of pc leaf beads last night--well, they'll be beads once I've drilled holes in them. Other than that, I haven't been working on much. A head cold has kept me away from the beads and everything else, but I'm getting over that, so back to beading! -- Lindsey http://artwork-by-lindsey.blogspot.com |

What are you working on now?
I'm working on stuff for the show I have next Saturday and Sunday.
Today I plan on doing some bracelets in amethyst, freshwater pearls, carnelian, aventurine. I also have to dig out the earring racks (which I haven't looked at all summer) and see which designs are missing. Then, I have to go through my lampwork stash and decide which lampwork beads I can possibly part with and make a few lampwork bracelets. All of this is complicated by the fact that the silver clasps I ordered from Gem O Rama are too small, so I had to return them yesterday, I hope the replacements will arrive in time for the show, lol. It's always something..... We have changed from dial up to Verizon FIOS (fibre optic) technology - the resolution is much clearer - lampwork bead pictures are amazingly detailed. And, I thought beads were tempting before... Have a great weekend, everyone!! Patti www.pattiwhiteley.com |

Lots of things, I'm getting ready to sell at a large out door market.
Earrings and bracelets mainly. But I did find time to make myself a pair of earrings to wear to a party: http://www.galleryvittoria.co.nz/bead4.shtml Marisa www.galleryvittoria.co.nz Vibrant Jewels wrote: Always a cool topic... what are you working on now? Karleen Page |
