Gold, luxurious Gold.

It might not have been super obvious just how much I like gold and working with the colour. After all, I only have a few pieces actually made in gold so it would have been easy enough to miss. However it is my fave colour to work with. Not the only colour I want toContinue reading “Gold, luxurious Gold.”

Broken

Well, it has been a week. I did some extra hours at work and have spent a fair amount of time with my family this week. I also made more pentagons for the IBW 22 project and started a new project of my own. It was going well (though I hate beading on things asContinue reading “Broken”

Organising exhibition and Christmas

Hey there, I hope everyone is well. I got my first covid booster shot on Tuesday and I feel like rubbish. I did a covid test and I am fine, just responded badly to this shot for some reason. Oh well at least it is one less thing to organise as I prepare for myContinue reading “Organising exhibition and Christmas”

Shapes and more.

I offered to make a tutorial just as something interesting for people to learn but several people are keen to make them for the project as well. I’ll be editing the videos afterContinue reading “Shapes and more.”

It started as a Vase…

Sorry I didn’t manage to write a post last week, I ended up just being drained after having a huge weekend last week and then helping work out this week and Ana was off sick on Friday. We have both been collecting HP cards from Coles and swapping them with each other. Our boss isContinue reading “It started as a Vase…”

Jellyfish, Jellyfish

While I have lots to do, that hasn’t stopped me from trying something new. I spent too long staring at my RNBW crystal beads and then couldn’t help myself I had to make a jellyfish. So far I have made 2 and plan to make one more for my up coming exhibition. And I haveContinue reading “Jellyfish, Jellyfish”

Sunflower Wheel

Hey there, I haven’t gotten to do much actual beadwork lately as I have been working on patterns, video tutorials and other bits and pieces that are beadwork related but not the actual thing. It’s the school holidays next week, so I will have more time but less pay. Anyway I did managed to makeContinue reading “Sunflower Wheel”
