Bead Table Wednesday September 26, 2012

It’s Wednesday already! What’s on my bead table? I gussied up a few metal pieces (The Lipstick Ranch) using Vintaj Patina, rubber stamping and hand painting (on both sides of course.) Whipped out a few leather cords. Now I have a some necklaces. See what others have on their table this week at the flickr […]

Ranger Vintaj Patina Play

Here’s what is on my work bench for Bead Table Wednesday. I picked up some Vintaj (Ranger) Patinas several weeks ago, but just now had a few spare moments to play. Made some small charms and earrings as a test run. So far so good. The patina seems to adhere really well and dries very […]

Bead Table Wednesday August 15, 2012

It’s been quite some time since I’ve shared a Bead Table Wednesday post. So here it is. I’m calling this one the Cactus Garden Series. I get lots of color inspiration from the cactus and succulents at the nursery. The colors fit so well with the southwestern palette. I’ve really been liking the matte seed […]

I picked up these Tim Holtz Pen Nib findings at the craft store and thought they might work into something easy and different. Here’s the final […]

Yet again, messing about with hemp cord, stones, rocks, charms and beads while enjoying the view from my work area. I really like the feel and texture of these necklaces. They are very “grounding”. Off to search for some more rocks. Enjoy your day. Dive In… Enjoy The View… Black Heart…

It’s Bead Table Wednesday again and here’s what is on my table this morning… HEART BEATS Lying low this past week, trying to shake off a down right nasty cold. Thank goodness this type of thing trips me up and slows me down enough to explore playing around with some of my toys and stash. […]

Here’s what’s on my table this Wednesday…my spin on melting some borosilicate glass. I’m using Momka boro shorts rods and have no idea what colors these are because they aren’t labeled. I’m finding it difficult to make a decent boro bead shape, but liking the results of the disc beads and pendants. See what others […]

I’m multitasking here this afternoon. Listening to C.C. White – This is Soul Kirtan while I wait for the propane guy to come fill the big tank, cooking soup, chili, doing laundry, posting on the business blog and facebook page. Just the usual mundane activities that make life what it is. Here’s a peek of […]

November 9, 2011 – BTW

Time passes so quickly when you love what you do. As always, I feel that I am seriously blessed to be able to do what I do to pay the bills. Teaching yoga for the City of Las Vegas, one of my long time loves; helping things grow at Cactus Joe’s Blue Diamond Nursery and […]
