Something else happened yesterday! My box came in from Blueberry Cove Beads!! Here is a preview of what was inside it and the necklace I created from it. It is so worth the investment. The quality is top notch, the quantity was high and I love how everything matched the theme Nautical.</div>

I just joined a bead box monthly delivery which are all themed beads. I am going to be receiving my first box shortly and I am quite excited. I will show my designs created from each box when the right time approaches. I will be creating freebie tutorials in seed beading and other styles of jewelry making. My hopes are to be able to use all the beads in the boxes so I may be stepping out of my comfort zone from time to time.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17006333644078035569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070425438288656437.post-67835428891825745582015-12-10T08:26:00.002-08:002015-12-10T08:26:40.706-08:00New PostWell it is almost Christmas and my mind is working over time on new designs.

The first artist I am looking at is Marcia Decoster. She works with two if my favorite stitches herringbone and craw(cubic right angle weave).<br />

Spring is coming and I cannot wait! I like the rain because you do not have to shovel it. :)<br />
<br />
I have been thinking of February and what will I stitch? What do I want to learn more about this month? What colors do I want to play with?<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure for part of the month I will be working on Valentine Tuts and possibly the brick stitch.<br />
<br />
I'm going to concentrate on the herringbone stitch as I want to learn all that I can on this stitch. Not only do I find it a pretty stitch but I know there is quite a bit I can learn about it. I know the basics and I have worked advanced in this stitch. Now to spread my wings.<br />
<br />
Color tends to be obvious this month. Reds and pinks but as I said a bit before I'm going to be working with a new color called "Strawberry Ice".<br />
<br />
Here are a few links on herringbone if your interested in working along with me.<br />

So I will be following their colors monthly. This month's color is Marsala. It is a rich burgandy. So my next jewelry post will be using my burgandy's. I found some garnet gemstones I had and added more beads to come up with a palette. This is it! What do you think?<br />

I finally joined my first blog hop and am looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">1. Why or how did you get started making jewelry?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">2. What style(s) of jewelry do you like to make?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">3. What materials do you prefer to use (and which ones do you avoid)?</span><br />
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1421742281986_11193" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">4. What techniques do you prefer (and are there any you don't like)?<br />5. What colors do you use most, and which do you run screaming from?</span><br />
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">1)Why or how I got started making jewelry? I started mainly because I needed a hobby to keep myself pre-occupied after retirement. I worked in nursing and had a heart attack so retirement came early for me.</span><br />
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">2) What styles do I like to make? I have tried many styles from wire work to polymer clay to stringing, to metal stamping and now bead weaving. It was a natural progression for me. I enjoy bead weaving the most because I have the strength to do it and I enjoy learning all the different stitches.</span><br />
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">3)I use primarily seed beads, super duos, crystals, gemstones, czech beads, clay beads, and ceramic beads and metals. I would avoid leather cording or string cording.</span><br />
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">4)I do many different stitches in bead weaving and I do make earrings, bracelets and necklaces. I do no make rings.</span><br />
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span class="yiv7515132626text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">5)I like a variety of colors. I enjoy learning the latest fashion colors and incorporating them into my work. So right now I am finishing up the winter colors and am now going into Pantones color of the year plus Spring 2015s color such as pinks, mint green, pale blues, light greys etc. I do not dislike colors except grass green.</span><br />

This is a 3 drop peyote design that I created for an fb group challenge.</div>

Yes both pieces are quite dark. Yet they both look so rich and reds do brighten them somewhat.</div>
