Show and Tell, lots of stuff!
Hey all,
It's been a while since I posted some of the work I've been doing. I entered into Bead Dreams 2007, and obviously didn't win but I thought I'd share my entries. This one was a finalist in the judging in the polymer clay category: http://www.valeriebeads.com/tenderly5.jpg And this was a bead embroidered purse that I made (with no sewing skills to speak of!) that didn't make it to the finals: http://www.valeriebeads.com/pictures/collage.jpg The purse took me months and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. lol! But now I'm bound and determined to make more and even got a sewing machine to do so (the first was hand-sewn). Despite the toil and injury (I got an RSI from it) I had a lot of fun planning it and making it and now I'm addicted! I've also been exploring my 2-d art options and finally merged drawing animals with polyclay. Here's a few of my pendants I've done: http://www.valeriebeads.com/pictures/giraffecopy.jpg http://www.valeriebeads.com/pictures/catfacecopy.jpg http://www.valeriebeads.com/pictures/ocicatcopy.jpg In addition I started doing art cards (thanks to Mary T!) in all the mediums I work in and did two of them in beads: http://www.valeriebeads.com/pictures/blue.jpg http://www.valeriebeads.com/pictures/green.jpg -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.valeriebeads.com http://valeriebeads.etsy.com I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -Michelangelo Buonarroti

Love the art cards. But I don't understand. Surely you would give this out
as a card. Or is it a card case? Or is it an "art card" because it's card beading. I always love to see all the stuff you're doing. Tina "Valerie" wrote in message ...

Hey Tina!
You swap or sell an art card. A swapped art card is called an ATC (Artist Trading Card) and generally a sold card is called an ACEO (Art Card, Edition and Original). It's purpose is simply to be I guess. It doesn't really have a functional purpose. You can display art cards, collect them like baseball cards or use them for anything else you can think of. An art card is a 2 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch card. It can be done in any medium. -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.valeriebeads.com http://valeriebeads.etsy.com I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -Michelangelo Buonarroti "Christina Peterson" wrote in message ...

Thanks Karleen!
The bag was a ton of work. I'm starting on another one now. Muwahahaha! ;-) This time I have a sewing machine to at least assist me with the construction. After doing the bag, the art cards were easy! It was fun. Do you have pics of your art cards? -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.valeriebeads.com http://valeriebeads.etsy.com I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -Michelangelo Buonarroti "Vibrant Jewels" wrote in message ink.net... I couldn't get the last one to come up either. Wow the art cards are awesome. I have done some myself, but I never thought about covering the whole thing with beading. What a ton of work!  The pocket book was unbeadlieveable! I can't believe you didn't at least place! But you know, that's why I quit doing juried competitions... it's just too darn frustrating to figure out what the judges want and mesh that with your own creativity! Also loved the PC beads that were in the finals.
