Thanks for looking!

Been so Spring like with temperatures much higher than normal. Gardens are blooming sooner than most seasons. I cannot wait to see my rose gardens in bloom again.

In the meantime, I have these roses that will never wilt or die. Such a fun craft and I enjoyed making these. Might try a couple of other flower and plants!

Have a great day.

Hi all!
I can't believe how easily distracted I am, artistically! There was a time when all I wanted to do was draw. Give me a pencil and I was happy. Ever since I left the corporate world of desktop publishing / computer graphic design and reacquainted myself to the arts again, I just can't stop exploring new things!!!! To be honest, I would like to find something with which to settle down, but due to Google and all the information available, I will probably always be searching and learning.

Don't know how or why I decided to do this today when I still have to finish the beaded purse, but out it came! The technique is called french beading and I made a rose! LOL!

Thank You DivaDea!

Beaded Handbag, Purse 1

This will take a while to complete. I am really enjoying the portability of this project. Never a dull moment.

So far, the purse has only glass beads. Eventually, I will be adding crystals and other goodies.

The purple flower will be fun to complete but I am really looking forward to doing the background. I plan on a fun paisley pattern using black and gray beads.

Polymer Clay Face Cousin

Hello again!
Here's a fun thing I just finished...

]



I used to have these white overall shorts on which I would embroider anything. Finally, the only thing holding those overalls together was the embroidery, itself!

Over the years, I have revisited embroidery and thought it about time I do a little more. Love using an old craft and updating it with new ideas and applications. In this case, it's the sculpted cloth faces that is new. Around the face are many sized, colored and shaped beads which I hand embroidered. The bead design is scattered, giving it a really cool texture and it appears as if the bracelet was rolled in and collected beads, randomly.

Took many hours, so I am relieved I like the piece! LOL!

Thank you for stopping by. Please come again.
