Glass, Polymer, Enamel and more!
I posted some encased beads in the SueBeads etsy store t0day – I love love love the color combinations. Also, I posted a couple new bracelets in the BellaHannahJane etsy store. I really like the wood and chrysoprase, and I just love the shape of the coffee bean jasper pillows. Check them out!
Have you seen the Art Bead Scene blog? Heather announced the monthly challenge today, and the theme is Klimt’s “The Kiss”. In case you didn’t notice, I happen to be a prize provider this month! YAY! Check it out here.
Look at us – we’re in the BellaHannahJane etsy store. While there are a couple more blue ones, the pink one is the only one available – and so cute!
When my lampwork bead business gets slow, I still have this urge to create! That’s when I pull out my now almost-organized bead stash and have a go at some jewelry! Yesterday I put together a few bracelets – the theme seems to be hearts! I had some nice red givre heart beads and added a beautiful white vintage glass bicone bead to offset the hearts. The second one was made with burnished chain, and includes a beautiful paisley heart by the very talented Lynn Davis. You can find both of these bracelets in my bellahannahjane etsy store. I will have some cute lovebird scrabble tile pendants available tomorrow (have to get the engineer to take my photos for me). I think I need to take a Photography for Dummies class so I can do that myself!
Today starts the Chinese New Year celebration, the Year of the Ox. We have a favorite Asian restaurant we go to all the time, called Taipei Tokyo. I usually get chinese, the engineer and my daughter usually get sushi, and my son gets wonton soup (doesn’t eat the wontons) and chicken on a stick!
I have a couple of new pendants in the BellaHannahJane etsy store – more to be added. They are art scrabble tile pendants. I think they are great – if you have a specific piece of art you really really like, these are for you! Of course, they have to be out of copyright (person dead for over 50 years). I’m going to sell them at the Holiday Shoppe I am participating in, but you get a sneak peek!
