Art Jewelry Elements Component of the Month reveal - SueBeads

It is that time again for the Component of the Month reveal.  I was so excited to finally get a set of these amazing beaded beads made by Sue of Suebeads.  I love seeing other beadweavers creations.

Sue's stitching quality is truly amazing.  These are of amazing quality.  I really should remember to take pictures of the beads BEFORE I use them, but you can sort of see them here.

The other reason I should really take a picture is when something like this happens

Yes you can see here something terrible happened but it wasn't all my fault.  The cat tried to eat my bead.

Cute isn't she?  No not when she plays on my tray.  Lucky the beads were small and I did not have to take her to the vet.  I also have to tell you that I was recovering from surgery and I did not notice right away.

I had a thought of making a really cool bracelet using the beaded beads in this way.

I am still rethinking the design now.  I was thinking of using the pendant by Rebekah of
Tree Wing Studio as the accent to bring out the bead now.

Please go check out what everyone else has created.  I can not wait to see.

AJE October Compnent Reveal!

Welcome to my first component of the month reveal for Art Jewelry Elements

So I am writing this post as the wind and rain of Sandy are starting to announce her presence.  I am actually getting a bit nervous so I have to make this post short and sweet.

I didn't think I will have something to share with you all this time around which would have made me feel terrible since this is the month that everyone is working with beads I made.  Yeah you know I couldn't not have something so I took a little time out of storm prep this morning after volunteering at school and forced my muse to work for me.  It actually worked. 

 

Here is what everyone had to work with.....

 

And here is what I created today. 

 

It actually matches one of the other 2 reveals I have going on this week IF Sandy lets me.  I used my own beaded beads and a leaf and then had some fun with twins and bezeling the pearls on each side of the leaf.  This has a lot of bling factor and is a bit heavy because of the firepolished beads but you know what I think I like it!  I didn't think forcing Rhiannon (my muse) to make my fingers work would create something I like but hey I could not not follow through with my own hop could I?

 

So head over to the Art Jewelry Elements blog to see who else is playing along!

 

Stay safe my friends!

I GOT FABULISHOUSNESS!!!!!!

I have been waiting such a long time to get my hands on goodies from Juls you have no idea. I am no longer jealous beyond belief of all my blog friends that have had and flaunted(now it's my turn ;P)  But I thought it would be nice if she could see my happieness when I got these babies (thanks so much my sweet hubby). So I tried to do a video of me opening it so I could e-mail it to her but alas I am so technically challenged that I can't e-mail it becausee the file is to large!! ARRGGHH!. Anyway that probaly would have been a little embarassing for all of you to see me in all my dorkie glory (any yes i just about cried pathetic right) Oh and Juls my sweet Derek stole the sweettarts and Shelby is still trying to steal the beads!  So you will all have to settle for these pictures of MY goodies (and please feel free to drool all you need to cuz I have been drooling over all of yours for months now!)

OK I know you can all see these beauties but do you also remember my favorite color?  Can you guess?  I need to tell you all that these are beads of the highest quality and craftsmanship and that if you are looking for a special focal or beads to enhance your projects you can not go wrong with these!  I am not only blessed to be a very loyal customer I also have made a friend in her that I will forever treasure! (Shelby with tell you I am a sap!!!)  Thank you Juls for creating these with your amazing hands and torch! Now what to make to showcase these babies! To Be Continued......

I thought since I had a few extra minutes I would also show you what I have been working on.  Let me know what you think of this collection of beads!  They are such a blast to make and I am addicted to them!

Hey Guess What?  I also won this beauty from Cindy Caraway at Artful Living on the Bluff.  She has a comment contest every month and her blog is filled with cool quotes and vintage stuff.  Visit her if you get the chance!

This is really cool it is a vintage piece that she beads into a pendent (and my favorite colors too)

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend.  At least the sun is finally shining here!  Both inside and out!

Hugs and Blessings
