Happy July everyone!

I hope you are using the hot weather to energize your crafty urges. It's nice if you have air conditioning or a cool basement for creative pursuits. If not, maybe a nice fan at the window. 
The beginning of a project
 I love summer, I get so many ideas. Now to follow through...Inka over at Altered Artifacts Blogspot  has some free printable organizers that can help get you started if you need to sort your supplies.
I love Inka's Etsy store, too. I recently purchased some of her images, and plan to create all sorts of collages and altered realities!  Click here to visit Inka's store.

      These tins will be little storage or gift containers, although I have seen some offered for sale in an art gallery with little three-D sculptures inside. Sorry to keep you waiting so long. Sometimes life gets in the way of all the creative plans!

Soup's ON!: Bead Soup Blog Party #8 Reveal

When Grandmother called the family to dinner, she said: "Soup's On!" (When my Grandma served Sunday dinner, it always began with chicken vegetable soup. She made a good hearty soup that I have never been able to duplicate. But that's because I'm not using chicken feet! Well time marches on... spending hours in the kitchen is not my thing, unless you include the beading projects at the kitchen table.) Let's play with Bead Soup! I love the soup my partner Leslie Wayment sent me! It was full of turquoise and turquoise dyed howlite; my favorite color. In fact it is full of color. I have enough beads to make several more items. I will share the first two, to begin. Focal with wire wrapped bail and embellishment by Leslie This focal deserved to be served up with just a few beads to accent . I love how the colors of the Czech glass, aventurine and howlite work with the copper tones. I used bright copper spacers and antique copper chain. design

Welcome New Visitors ! Thank you for stopping by to visit! Here I talk about making jewelry and my beading passion, or perhaps that is my shopping for beads obsession. ;) scroll down for the link   I work for a craft store, so most of my bead collection is commercial beads and supplies, but I am finding so much to tempt me with true handcrafted beads, both lampwork glass and polymer clay. I just ordered some special polymer clay beads for a bead soup party that I plan on joining, and I have a few ceramic beads from ceramic artists, so I have made the first steps.

Yes, I am a Bead Hoarder! Thanking Lori Anderson for this wonderful challenge: It has gotten me started on creating again, and using what's on hand is a great way to stretch one's design ideas. (So are almost 170 other beaders, LOL. I want to visit all the hoppers and will, but it is taking a while!) First is a necklace from a set of assorted beads already pre-coordinated by Bead Landing. To see the stash I blogged about, click: Here  (Purchased on clearance.) I added the copper beads and the central howlite disc from my stash. Easy peasy, just need to decide the arrangement and add the spacers. Blue - Copper "Color Splash" Necklace - beads from Michaels I created this first attempt at 'bead weaving' ( I think it is actually netting, if you are getting specific ), while I was on vacation with my family in June. I dug out the bead stringing thread, needles and little and big crystals from way back in the drawer to take a small project for working on
