Falling Leaves

It took a bit of time but I finally figured out how to do a collage. This collage is featuring my Falling Leaves bracelet and necklace. I am in love with those shoes. I want to thank Lorelei Eurto and the Art Bead Scene Blog: Studio Saturday's for the post last Saturday on how to make a collage, it was very interesting and I love the finished product. 

Magazine Submission to Stringing

I just wanted to share my excitement, I have submitted for the first time a design to my favorite magazine Stringing.  I have been an avid reader of Stringing since about 2008, I love all of the creativity that is packed into each issue and I found so much inspiration from the magazine as well as been introduced to some of my favorite designers.  I am crossing my fingers that what I have submitted may be of interest, here's hoping.

New Designs

I have been in a bit of a slump lately not really designing anything and being unhappy with my work space I am dreaming of having a bigger space where I can have large storage and places where I can organize my beads better.  A friend of my has extended an invitation to me to setup a booth at a farmers market and that is just what I needed to get me going.  I am going to post the time place and name of the farmers markets in a later post.  I made three things last night and wanted to share.

I am going to try and challenge myself and keep my blog current and try and post a new design each week.  Here is crossing my fingers.  I hope you like what you see.
