All Better...

Hi guys! Well I restarted my diagram for my book proposal. Man those little suckers are mighty hard to create from scratch! I will have a little snapshot of one up tomorrow. Regardless if my book gets published I will be offering up kits for my Beaded Ornaments on my site. I have so many ideas for new ornaments swimming around in my head its crazy. I've been putting them in my sketchbook but it will be a little while before I can try any of them out.
I did pick up the neatest handmade sterling silver hammered star charm. I will be making a very special piece with it. I'm off to have dinner. I'll be back tomorrow with a sneaky peeky of one of my diagrams...

Shoot me now...

I give up! I have spent about 20-30 hours so far on the diagrams for my first project for that book proposal for my Ornaments. Well I am almost finished, just another hour or two, I sit down and look and I forgot to add a ladder of beads! I have four instead of five. Needless to say I cannot salvage anything. I am sitting here laughing at myself because if I don't laugh I will cry. I guess I am back to square one. Oh well another one of lifes little bumps. I guess I am off to restart my diagrams!! Wish me luck =)

Sneaky Peeky...

Above is a tiny little peek at my Clasp Tutorial that is on its way to my editors at Bead Unique. And I have my first outline done of my first project for my book proposal. I will get some photos of some of my ornaments up this weekend. I forgot how much I enjoyed making them. I ordered up a slew of new seed beads for myself so I can play next week =)

Secure...

Hi guys! I finally got my secruity certificate properly installed on my site. So now my site is all secure and no worries for my customers.
And I am embarking on a mission. Alongside Jewelry for the past ten years I have also been designing Beaded Ornaments. I have so many of my own designs, I am going to write a book! For years and years, I would just give them away as presents due to the high cost I would have to sell them for. these babies take hours and hours to create. I will have photos of a few up tomorrow. I am hoping to start teaching classes for them late Summer. If this all goes well I think I will try my hand at writing a Wire Jewelry book too! Hey a girl can dream can't she???

New Magazine Time...

Yesterday I got a surprise in my mailbox... my latest publication! SBS Wire is changing up their format a little and it looks great. This way they can add even more projects. Above is a sneaky peaky of my project. I just love what they do with my pretty pieces. Over all this is a really impressive issue. I am always amazed at how many really neat designs everyone comes up with.

Well I have to get that project out to Bead Unique today. Have a great weekend =) I will be back with new pieces next week...
