I really enjoyed the fold formed bracelets. Just the freeness of the metal once heated, a really unique experience.<br />

What a challenging piece, this was a class I took with Melissa G. Shippey. She really challenged me but I eventually completed the pendant. I still need to complete the rope but I am stuck between whether i want this to be a necklace or something else all together, like a fan pull.<br />

What a piece this was to tackle. I really liked how I could take a group of beads and just build until I reached this outcome. The collar is 3 separate pieces and the back is lined in leather. By far, this is the largest embroidered piece and it took me a few start and stops before completion.<br />

Freeform beading is a favorite of mine because you have no clear vision of how the piece will turn out. In fact, I had no idea what this would be until I was half way through the piece.<br />

I love a quick bead, this was a simple design I made up but the best part about this piece is the copper beads are metal, not glass, metal. Just gives the bracelet a great look and feel.<br />

This year my partner, Deb Mckinnis sent me this soup<br />

Deb owns a bead store that has a large supply of gems in a multitude of types, colors, and shapes. She sent yellow jasper, agate focal, crazy agate beads, Czech glass beads, wood rings and a pewter clasp. The summery yellow is beautiful and since I normally only work with seed beads, I was glad to have the challenge of tackling gemstones.<br />

<br />
I started with the focal, truly it is so beautiful and I wanted to accentuate the lovely yellows, browns, and creams, so I added a beaded butterfly bale and one of the oval jasper beads. While the focal seems simple, I never actually made a butterfly bale, so this was new to me, therefore, there were a couple of false starts but I finally figured it out. In addition, the focal spins, which I think is pretty cool, I didn't have to compromise any of the beauty of the agate and that was important to me.<br />

<br />
Then I strung jasper rounds, ovals, and crazy agate beads onto wire and finished with filigree bead caps and a copper lobster clasp. Note: I know we were to use the clasp that was sent, however, I misplaced said clasp so I had to improvise.<br />

In my opinion, Marjorie is one of the best embroidery bead artists I have ever seen, her work is creative and practically flawless. I love her neat stitches and creative artistry. So while the concept was quite simple for me to grasp, I learned a lot about construction and design.<br />

I love that the cuff is simplistic, the focal gets the attention it deserves</div>

I also like how the beads accentuate the focal and even the cuff, looks almost medieval </div>

Marjorie Barnes teaches locally in the Maryland area from her home, she also teaches at various bead retreats. If you have the opportunity, please take one of her classes, you will definitely grow as a bead artist. In addition, Marjorie has an incredible stash of beading supplies so you can also shop around for unique and hard to find beads and findings.</div>

One of my bead groups had a charm swap. We each had to make a charm for each participant, that meant 26 separate components. We all worked hard and needless to say I was completely blown away by all the artistry. The ladies in Bead Swap USA truly outdid themselves and I am so very thankful to be involved with so many extremely talented women.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Bead Journal Project (BJP) is a way to journal an important aspect in your life through the use of beads and other materials. We were encouraged to not be frivolous but really give this project some thought and create a meaningful theme.<br />
<br />
My inspiration comes from my spirituality. I am always encouraged to give this aspect of my life more focus and I work on this daily. Another aspect of my spirituality is my ministry and so I thought that this would be a great way to remind myself of why I dedicated myself to my God, Jehovah and also introduce some who may not yet know much about the Bible, to some of the great hopes and lessons that are stored in this still relevant book.<br />
<br />
<br />
One of my favorite accounts in the Bible is the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. After years of oppressive enslavement, Jehovah freed the Israelites in a most extraordinary way. If you have not had a chance to read this riveting account you can read the complete account <a href="http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/nwt/books/exodus/5/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
My March piece serves more as a reminder for me because one aspect of the account in Exodus is that Pharaoh's heart continued to be obstinate and Pharaoh would not acknowledge God as the one and only God. Instead Pharaoh put his faith in his gods and while I won't ruin the ending for those who have not read the account, let me say that things turned out less than favorable for Pharaoh.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Eye of Horus</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I did research the Eye of Horus so that I could understand what this symbol represented for the Egyptians, I will not explain it in this post because this piece is not about what the Egyptians thought about this false deity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again, this piece is a reminder; it reminds me of Jehovah's love, mercy, patience, and power. It also reminds me to not place my faith in men or other seemingly powerful forces, but to remain faithful to the one God that has proven that He has the power to save, rescue and protect those that draw close to Him. Lastly, I am reminded to not place my faith in riches because even though Egypt was filled with so many earthly treasures, when it was all said and done, these treasures did nothing to save them from the calamity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I look at this piece I am instantly reminded of the turbulent and wonderful account of Moses and the Israelites. I think of how Jehovah "heard their groaning" and came to their rescue. I am reminded of all the miracles that took place and how mind blowing that must have been for those that were there to witness it first hand. Mostly, I am reminded to stay focused on my spiritual journey!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>Please note that my post is not meant to be demeaning in any way. I am expressing my beliefs and regardless of how my personal beliefs may make others feel, I have reasoned that I have enough proof from the Bible to have faith in what is written within it. I respect that some may not believe the same things as I do and that is fine, but I am expecting that same respect to be shown on this public forum.</b></span></div>

I have been cooped up in the house (snow, snow and more snow) for two full days and I really look forward to being released sooner than later.<br />
<br />
But at least something cute came out of my cabin fever:<br />

This is my piece for the Edwardian Blog Hop sponsored by <a href="http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2014/01/07/can-39-t-get-enough-edwardian-beaded-jewelry.aspx" target="_blank">Beading Daily</a>. With the emergence of antique styled jewelry featured in television shows, it is no wonder that many are incorporating jewelry from eras that relied heavily on appearance to display their wealth and prestige.<br />
<br />
The Edwardian era is one that enabled many to do so since it was a time when there was relative peace and much prosperity. I chose a simple yet elegant pattern by Deborah Roberti called "Guinevere Bracelet" which is a free pattern that can be found <a href="http://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Tutorials/Guinevere.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />

I literally found out about this blog hop a couple of days ago and so I wanted something that I could bead up quickly and when I saw this pattern I knew it would be a perfect fit for this hop.</div>

Whipping up that flat peyote bracelet was soooo relaxing and I really had a chance to sit and meditate on some of the more important things in life.<br />
<br />
I started with a B&W pattern by KFS that I found on Pinterest:<br />

I chose this pattern because the December challenge for my OTTBS group was black and white with 1 additional color. I really loved the simplicity of the pattern and felt that I could incorporate a single color due to the one central element.<br />

I started with the black and white and then decided to add a pop of teal metallic beads<br />

Now I must digress for a moment, I used some Toho cylinder beads that I bought (on sale) from A.C. Moore. However, even though I have a nice selection of these beads, I have never used them and I hate them. They are so wonky and inconsistent and I had a hard time continuing this piece because the beads were just not uniform. I am used to beading with Miyuki delica beads and truly I am spoiled by the exact nature of delicas. As usual, you get what you pay for, and I will never complain about the price of delicas again because it is obvious that Miyuki delicas trump Toho cylinder beads.</div>

All in all, I love the piece, but the Toho's are so annoying and I am seriously considering beading this pattern up using Miyuki delicas, but not right now. I am going to work on something else that is relaxing (maybe I will give that bead embroider project another go ;-) )Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08967406522841711156noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592216232874635244.post-14121195549523675532013-12-09T06:51:00.000-08:002013-12-09T06:51:48.670-08:00Cabochon and Button SwapI am so excited, I have finally have received the cabochon and buttons swap box.

The swap box concept involves taking out items you like that others have contributed and then putting in items from your own stash and sending it on to the next person so that they can swap out items.<br />
<br />
I put in the following treasures:<br />

<br />
This is a piece that I am working on for the 2013 Bead East Tenth Anniversary Challenge and I am not certain if it is because of the beads or the deadline but I am not feeling this piece.<br />
<br />
The bead selection is just not what I would work with, and part of the challenge is to use 75% of the included beads only. The problem I am having is I have to think too much and since this is a freeform embroidery, the design is taking shape as I bead, so I am constantly thinking about where to put what.<br />
<br />
I don't hate the piece, I am just feeling bored by it at this point, there are SO MANY BEADS (never thought I would ever say that). I just want it all to be over, but noooooo, I still have a gang of beads all over my board.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will make the deadline, but if I don't, I won't be too upset.<br />

However, I must admit that I had to throw away ever single piece because the glaze I chose to use turned them into a sticky mess :-(<br />
<br />
I was utterly disgusted and went back to beading away, but I continued to research polymer clay techniques. One that intrigued me was the image transfer method. There was a plethora of videos and tutorials on the internet and so I was finding it hard to pick which I would try first. I happened upon a video on Michaels website and something about the process clicked. First it seemed super easy and fool proof, having the least amount of steps to follow. Second, the instructor is actually demonstrating the process and the video was clear and the steps were clearly demonstrated. Third, the timing of the transfer was short, it took about 2-3 minutes and lastly, it worked perfectly and the instructor had samples of previous transfer s that were a few years old, so I understood this method to be trustworthy.<br />
<br />
The video is located <a href="http://www.michaels.com/videos/SHHT1Vm3008,default,pg.html" target="_blank">here</a> but I have also included the video below:<br />

I tried this tonight using this image </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And this is the finished transfer:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used translucent Premo clay and the process took 30 minutes (this includes 25 minutes of baking) so the transfer took about 5 minutes. The edge at the bottom is a bit chipped, but this due to me scrapping a bit of paper off with my nail- directions clearly state to use a cotton ball, which I did for all but this one spot....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I plan to bezel around this with beads or clay so I will cover up the mishap, other than that, I am throughly satisfied with the outcome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In addition to this, I also experimented with the <a href="http://www.sculpey.com/how-tos/techniques/mokume-gane" target="_blank">Mokume Gane</a> process. I used a few canes that i purchased and just played around. I didn't go too crazy but I was pleased with what I created:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, I think I will most likely bezel around this piece</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Polymer clay has definitely got my attention again and I am so excited to expand on this image transfer idea. It should be noted that you can transfer black and white images and paint them so that will most likely be my next adventure.</div>

I accumulated patterns and until I reached quite a large number, I realized that I wasn't actually beading any of them.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7W9znMt_WvzKFJHZySY-zOYbG8ZMboA7x2E7XGk9aN9pzXsYXp69Kkt-L3PX8kse0xo2rt_haBZSdDfHR9HivarDgSkzdrhkkDWXOeHGzShzYMTEtqMbX8qbkt1SPVMEk3rrLoT16bMAB/s1600/Unknown.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7W9znMt_WvzKFJHZySY-zOYbG8ZMboA7x2E7XGk9aN9pzXsYXp69Kkt-L3PX8kse0xo2rt_haBZSdDfHR9HivarDgSkzdrhkkDWXOeHGzShzYMTEtqMbX8qbkt1SPVMEk3rrLoT16bMAB/s1600/Unknown.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is a simple warning for all the newbies, or even those that just accumulate patterns....STOP. There is no need to buy a pattern if you are not going to work on it right away. It is the equivalent to buying a dress that you think you may wear in the future. Or even better, for us beaders, it is like purchasing beads, just because they are pretty.<br />
<br />
One reason for this warning is that normally you will gravitate to creating your own designs, faster than you think, and then you will not want to just settle on beading up the patterns of another designer. But don't let that deter you from using the pattens you have purchased, you can always tweak a pattern and make it your own, or simply add your own personal twist to a pattern. Of course you want to give credit where credit is due, so mention the original artist, even if they were just the source of inspiration.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Beading is a great hobby, but it is also a business and of course businesses want to make money. So there is an influx of supplies for us crafters and many of us accumulate more than we can create. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One way I have decided to deal with this dilemma is to actually take some time off from purchasing and actually spend more time on using up the stock pile that has been building in my office.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Therefore, I am going through all my saved patterns and I am actually beading them up, and guess what, I am having a great time learning new techniques and there is a bit of satisfaction I gain from knowing that I have not wasted my money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition, I am also putting a pause on purchasing supplies....so much easier said than done, however, I am determined to not turn into a bead hoarder. No disrespect to the bead hoarders out there, however, I am a true believer in limiting waste and one good way for me to do that is to use what I have.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With all that said, I would like to introduce another Heather Collin design that I beaded up using some fabulous beads in my collection. It is called Persian Tiles and I made a bracelet and a pair of earrings.</div>

In the mean time, I am also working on kits that I have purchased and so I am beading my way through a Beads East kit as well. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">There is more than enough to keep me busy, and I can't wait to show off my diminished bead stock in the near future.</span><br />

We could only use items that were in our "stash". Since I have quite a few things in my office I looked through and finally settled on this item:<br />

<b>White plastic rectangle</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ordered this rectangle a couple, maybe even a few, years back because I was excited to play with it and see what I could create. When it arrived, I noticed that the edges were thicker than I expected and so adding seed beads would be a challenge. I threw it to the side and really never gave it much thought until now. I still think the rectangle is an interesting piece, however, the pig's ear aspect is that this piece is quite plain, just a white rectangle.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First i wanted to add something to the rectangle, it is just so plain, so I added some silver and white glass pearls and some bicone crystals.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I thought adding the embellishments to the sides of the chain rather than just have them hang from the bottom. I took this approach because the chains are quite decorative and I wanted the chains to get just as much attention as the embellishments.</div>

The jury is out as to whether this is a silk purse, maybe a rayon or damask purse, but not certain if it has reached silk. I don't hate the piece, I think it is just so outside my design realm since I am so use to working with beads. However, I did enjoy the challenge and find the piece interesting and quirky and the chains are absolutely lovely.</div>

Many find it hard to maneuver and others are intimidated by it. <br />

I must admit, I felt the same way at first, but I found a wonderful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Ib0qsQSy4" target="_blank">video</a> by Heather Collins who, in my humble opinion, is one of the best designers in CRAW stitch (not to mention her other projects); has a unique style and an amazing CRAW video that has up close visuals , as well as, step-by-step directions.<br />
<br />
If you want to learn CRAW, I recommend starting with Heather's video. With that said, when this stitch was voted for our Monthly Bead Challenge, I thought great, but many were hesitant and timid, so to show my courage, I tackled a Heather Collins design "Guinevere Cuff".<br />

So regardless of your design, CRAW can assist you to create a piece that can suite your personal style. Simplistic or complex, CRAW does not disappoint when you incorporate it into your designs. So grab those beads and give CRAW a try, you won't be disappointed.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08967406522841711156noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592216232874635244.post-67819599017788343492013-10-07T18:41:00.001-07:002013-10-07T18:51:27.346-07:00Rock-n-Roll Loom Bracelet There is so much joy and amazement once a piece is finished, however, no one ever really sees the difficulties and failures when attempting to create a piece. Most time designers keep their mistakes hidden, for me, I am simply so glad to complete a piece that has caused me difficulty, that I quickly forget about the mishaps....this time is different.<br />
<br />
I decided that I wanted to loom a bracelet and this is only my second loom project, but my first loom project alone. A few months back I took a beading class with Erin Simonetti and blogged about that awesome experience <a href="http://agapecreationsjewelry.blogspot.com/2013/05/butterfly-bracelet-loom.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Afterwards, I simply went back to off loom beading, but I felt a twinge of guilt as my loom started to collect its third layer of dust :-(.<br />
<br />
So I gathered all my courage and a dust rag and broke out my loom. I had some awesome beads that I wanted to use so I grabbed them and started to bead...<br />

At first I thought crush and destroy this loom and stick with the comforts of off looming beading </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, while this experience is negative, I love that I was able to turn it into something positive. I scrapped this idea and warped (threaded) my loom yet again. With a bit of perseverance I mentally designed the beginning of another piece...</div>

I didn't want a flat bracelet so I started adding jet black chips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I consulted my group Bead Loom and was motivated to continue to finish one side with chips. Many also suggested adding something to the opposite side to give the bracelet balance....</div>

I had some silver faceted glass gems sitting around so I added these to the opposite side, along with some red delicas to give the bracelet some pop</div>

I even found a way to incorporate the saucer bead from my original design and I made it part of my loop and button closure</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bracelet is quite big for my wrist but I still love the outcome and will be listing this for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreationsofAgape?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop within the next couple of days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Moral to this story, turn tragedy into triumph and don't give up. Make your mistakes work for you because ultimately, every design has some success in it, even if it is just a color palate or maybe a shape, something can be salvaged from every disaster. And normally, if you just "keep swimming" you reach your destination and how much more enjoyable is the outcome after experiencing and enduring a bit of tribulation.</div>

This bracelet was quite time consuming though there were very few steps. I especially enjoy the sturdy structure of the bangle and the elegant outcome. I am thinking of making another one in a more playful color pallet.</div>

But I have been longing to loom again so I will be working on something loom related<br />

Hands down, I think they are the most beautiful creatures on this earth.<br />
<br />
With that said, when the Animal Challenge was announced by my beading team OTTBS, I was elated to take this challenge by the horns.<br />
<br />
No second guessing, I started looking for just the right pattern to bead. I found an Anna Stacia pattern on pinterest and started my even count peyote journey.<br />
<br />

I actually had to start over once I was a fourth of a way down the pattern because I miscounted and doubled up on a row and that threw everything off. I was truly ready to just throw this in my "unfinished" pile, but the pattern was so pretty I just had to give it another go.</div>

The original pattern has a white background and the butterfly and flower are bright and sunny colored, but I am in love with brown and turquoise so I decided to make a night themed bracelet.</div>

The pattern did not have a directions for the clasp, so I decided to bead a toggle clasp</div>

I love the shimmer from the metallic brown and gold and how it contrasts with the matte turquoise</div>

This photo shows the contrast (and the 2 slightly different shades of turquoise) of the beads a little better and because I used a different camera setting, the background is also a little less pronounced, so that the butterfly stands out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on to my next project...not butterfly themed, but I know I will soon find another project that features butterflies.</div>
