As a whole

Lace Parade

I finished my latest bead embroidery project yesterday. It is a 21" Chenille stitch necklace and a bead embroidered pendant that is 2 1/2" wide by 4" long.

It is up for auction here for the next 29 hours, if you're interested :-)

My next project is already in the beginning stages but I can't post pictures as it's a surprise for someone.

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Pretty in pink

Yesterday I wrapped my new rod of goldstone in a striking pink before pulling it into stringer. This is the result.

I'm very fond of this new purple and the pink together, so I may be expanding upon this idea. I also have some French renaissance ideas to combine with some gothic elements that I'd like to experiment with translating into glass. So maybe some new stuff coming soon.

Feeling Festive

It's a whopping -11º in my little town this morning, so I plan to spend the day hiding inside baking cookies, sitting by the fireplace, and (hopefully) working on some new projects for my etsy shop. Don't know if that last part will happen, but I'm hoping.

Anyway, I'm feeling festive this morning, so I thought I'd share some links to some things made by people in my art guilds and my friends. As best I can, I will also put up links to contact each person if the item is still for sale. You can click the title under each picture to go to the page where the item is listed for sale :)
