Beading Away again in Margarita land

Actually, from what I understand, when I live in San Antonio, they had the best Margita's.....I never liked those & now I am sober so I guess it is a mute and rather goofy point.

Okay, brain has come back. I finished up with my creation for Stringing Magazine. The theme is Magical Kingdom. Talk about a girlie piece:) I continued with the girlness by making a necklace from soft gray velvet beads, Thai silver centerpiece, swarovski crystals, pink glass, silver cones, pearls & czech glass.

I made another romance necklace from a piece of pottery that looks like a face. It is really cool & will have pictures of that up soon I hope.

I also made a bracelet from black/white stones(I will figure out stone name), swarovski crystals and pearls I believe. I do have a bracelet measurement guide but I STILL make them either too small or TOO huge. sigh. I think this one is about 6 1/2 inches with a beautiful Thai silver clasp.

I also picked up some purple & white polymer clay & plan on making some funky hearts. I really wish I could just use my regular oven but everything that I have read said use something seperate. This is a pain in the arse let me tell you! There was something at Michael's that said it was for baking the polymer clay. I can't get it yet but in a couple of weeks, I plan on it.

Mom & I want to put some supplies out on Etsy, like dichroic glass pendants, pieces of dichroic glass that you can use in polymer clay or PMC projects, some PMC pendants and once I get an oven then polymer clay things. I will never quit creating jewelery but this will be a wonderful addition to the Etsy store.

There was some talk about 1000 Markets on Etsy. I looked at their site but mom doesn't have the time to edit photos for 2 sites....or at least that is what I am thinking:) We really need to get diversed on this. After the teeth or the root canal is done then it is time for me to starting thinking about getting a computer at home. Being rather stupid on computers, I will ask around here at work to get opinions on computers from people who know a lot more of them than I.

I am hoping that it is sunny this weekend so I can get pictures taken of the jewelery that I have been making to get it on etsy.

BACK

Okay, back from vacation & reading my 5,000 pieces of e-mail from work & personal....sigh.

I was relaxed and having no neck pain...was is the word.

I had a particial root canal and was sick but other than that, it was good.

Etsy


I just put a request out on etsy to see if someone can make us some cute thank you tags for our Funky Monkey Girls store. I could do them myself but I rather have them done by someone else to spread the wealth around & I can make more jewelery!!


Lucky for me, I have a full time job working for the federal government. I have been in for 20 yrs so it is pretty hard to get rid of me at this point.


I have noticed that since I and I know mom has been really giving glory to the Lord, he has so blessed me and my family!! Shout out to the Lord!! Praise his name!


Now, I am going to go home & make some faith inspired jewelery for our etsy shop.


Hopefully, will be able to get to a computer at a library near me or this will be it for blogging until March 10th.


Pain.....

Oh, does broken tooth hurt so, from thus to thusly to you my sweetie.

Okay, too much pain and the fact I feel my head is always tilting slightly to the left, I will be okay. Honestly:) Dentist appointment tomorrow.

Hopefully, will get to library tomorrow to update all & the cool thingss that I am planning to make for the beading magazine challenge.....Magical forest.

I am filled full of fairies, lights, moss, greens, sprites etc.......................flying castles:)

Good weekend

I went to 4th street and found some small pottery Mexican crosses which will be made into necklaces and maybe a bracelet.

I also made a necklace from the Raki piece that I picked up at one of the Tucson shows. I combined it with chain that looks like wood that I purchased from Michael's a long time ago. What I did different was put the clasp on the front of the piece. I didn't take a picture of it but hopefully it will be on the website.
