Bead Art Originals - Items of the Week

A day late... sorry....  I was teaching yesterday and my son had some form of 24 hour flu/stomach bug... who knows, all I know is that he looks and seems much better today, thank G-d!!! so apologies for the delay... but... life sometimes happens :-)

Here is my item of the week - Crowned Cuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to  http://beadartoriginals.blogspot.com/ and see what other special are being offered this week!!!

Frozen Waters Cuff

Here is my new bead-embroidered cuff!!! It took me a really long time (over 22 hours) but I really enjoyed making it and I love how it turned out!!! :-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cuff was created with the EtsyBeadWeavers' Snow Queen Challenge in mind, especially in terms of colour palette, but in terms of technique, I used the technique I learnt from making Sherry Serafini's collar and this has  definitely been a huge influence in this piece.   (see previous post)

Frozen Waters is probably going to be my entry for the EtsyBeadWeavers' December challenge "Snow Queen".  I say probably because I'm half-way through making a matching bead-embroidered collar and if I actually finish it in time, I think I may enter that one... don't know... don't know if I'll have the choice :-) also a pair or earrings are in the plan! :-) I don't know what happened, but I really like this colour combination and have been very inspired to make more with it!!! :-) come back soon! :-)

so much going on....

I've been running around like a headless chicken these last few weeks... crazy busy with  work....  crazy busy with beading.... crazy busy with some bead-embroidery workshops that I'm giving this month.... and crazy busy with life!!!

 

 

So lots has happened since I last posted.... 1st of all "Let my People Go" won first place in this month's   EtsyBeadWeavers Challenge!!!!! yeahhhhh!!!!!! I've been so all over the place that I haven't even had the chance to absorb this... but yeahhhhhh!!!!! Really, really... my heartfelt thank you to any and all of you who voted for my entry!!! I really appreciate it!!!

 

on to the next challenge.... Snow Queen is the December challenge... chosen by Smadar and I, as we were the joint winners of the October EBW Challenge :-)

 

Here is a preview of my piece for the next challenge and as soon as I have a spare few hours to finish it I will post it! I really love how it's turning out!  :-)

The theme Snow Queen wasn't too hard to think of, but now I have the honour of choosing the next one... hmmmm..... haven't got a clue!!!  any suggestions?..... what theme would you like to challenge the EtsyBeadWeavers with?... if you feel like sharing any ideas, I'm all ears! :-)

and last, but not least..... BAO Item of the Week - I'm sorry it's a bit late, but as I mentioned above, I've been a busy busy bee :-)

 

Another wonderful selection from the BAO!!! Go check them out! See what special offers are attached to these gorgeous pieces:

Blazing Flowers Earrings

I've been meaning to make these earrings to match the Blazing Flower Necklace since the necklace was finished.... but you know how it is.... there is always something else to do and so I just never got around to doing it... until, the other day I was asked to do so... and here they are! ;-)

ok 6.37 am, got to go and wake up my son and nurse this horrible headache I've had since yesterday.... I think I have a bit of a head cold! ;-p

and why is it he wakes up at 5 am on Saturdays but during the week I've got to wake him up????  one of those mysteries of life I suppose, but I will get my revenge when he becomes a teenager and wants to sleep in on the weekend... I'll make sure I make a huge amount of noise after he's been partying all night!!! :-D
