Planting Creative Seeds























Can you guess which one of these little pots is mine?

A few of us came together early this morning to create a special little pot for planting seeds of desire...ahh, what a nice idea!

We'll be writing down our dreams, intentions or desires and "planting" them in the pots to help them grow.

We had a wonderful time making a little creative chaos out of our crafting table today. The only rules were there were no rules and worrying about perfection was not an option!

My thanks and gratitude go out to Dawn and Michelle...I appreciate you more than you know! :)

By sharing this with all of you here, I encourage you to gather a group of friends or just your friends me, myself and I to let your creativity flow!!! It's well worth making the time...

Please share if you are joining us in planting creative seeds!

Featured Lampwork Artist: Janel Dudley

Image
It's been way too long since we've had a featured artist on A Bead A Day. It's my pleasure to share the work of Janel Dudley. When I saw her lampwork gecko beads, I thought they were so adorable. I have an idea of how lampwork artists create glass beads, but I'm always in awe when I see the depth and the artistry that goes into them. I was also excited to share the "eye candy" in Janel's Etsy shop, Janel Dudley Beads . These eyeballs are so detailed and layered so beautifully, I couldn't stop staring right back at them! Here's a bit of background from Janel's Etsy profile: My obsession for beads began in high school when I had found a shell bead. After years of creating jewelry, I realized that I could learn how to make glass beads. In 1997 I took a lamp working class , ever since then it seems that the majority of my waking hours are spent, if not making beads, then thinking about making beads. I want to share my obsession with the world!

It's a jewelry design BLOG HOP!

I do so love a blog hop! As mentioned in my  last post , the six  Cousin DIY  ambassadors received a package containing identical beads just for the fun of seeing everyone's unique design styles. You never know what might happen during the creative process. So fun! In the bracelet above, I used memory wire to connect to the focal bead since it's pretty lightweight and the beads are a bit heavier. The memory wire helps maintain the structure. Of course, I think the dangles bring it to life! I've never had a bracelet like this before with faux druzy pieces so I'm excited to wear it. Those druzys are pretty spectacular. :) This simple silver necklace may end up being my favorite go-to piece for a while. It's surprisingly striking and would look great at the beach with a bathing suit or on a flowing bright colored blouse. The bright silver spikes make a real statement. And, speaking of spikes... The necklace below totally makes me laugh. I don't always create jewelr...

Giving the gift of Buddha

Image
What better to give a life coach than a sparkly, tasselly Buddha charm bracelet!? This isn't what I originally planned to make when I sat down to bead. I was going to make a version of the acrylic spikey bracelet from the last post. However, all the tassels and the Buddha head charms were sitting on the beading table and I kept picking them up. Before I knew it I was creating something completely different! Love it when that happens and if I haven't said it recently, I LOVE MEMORY WIRE! You don't have to worry about sizing a bracelet when using memory wire and that takes a lot of worry out of the process. As much as I love memory wire, I ALSO love eliminating worry from my life! :)
