Just sat and reviewed my last post for 2014 and realized that, " Yep! Missed a few items ", but that being said, just reviewed the latest post from " Battle of the Beadsmith " 2015. Still on the list.
I can now use this on my photographs...... Yay me ! The best thing is as I was thinking and drawing about what I would like to make is, it came to me. Just like - Pow ! An epiphany. Working on the technique - but I will be buying a lot of Jet for this one as I will not be able to cab my cabochons for this one.
I met one of my goals for 2015 - Photography! I start a beginning and intermediate Digital Photography class on March 9th at Southwestern University in Sylva. Actually, I am quite looking forward to becoming proficient at photography again and actually meeting new people.
I finally broke down and purchased a pattern that I had been drooling over for the past year. You know, I collect quite a few patterns. This one is a lovely romantic Cross by Glassyjewels at
http://www.glassyjewels.com called " Cris's Cross". She does not electronically transmit patterns so I waited for the color copy to arrive and made one for Jennifer for Christmas with matching earrings.
The pattern was easy to follow but the only recommendation I would have is to be careful with the thread path and overusing with the size fifteen beads. Follow the thread path diagrams carefully. Otherwise, she is stunning. Now to make a few more.
Chainmaille wise, wow - I so wish I had more time during the day. I started making my own 2 x 2 chains for each of the " Skullbursts ". I really like making my own chains now and I have new photo's to take now that I have mastered the " Mobius ".
Please spend some time " blog hopping " and checking out other's blog. We have three new Blog Hops coming up for 2015. I'll post them as they arrive.
Your work is beautiful Catherine! I am always amazed by designers that work with tiny seed beads. Such patience! Good luck to you and your creative endeavors!
