A finished piece! This is my actual finished piece that I created from my class with Marcie. I am really happy with it other than when I added the chain edging. I made it before she uploaded a video on how to do it so it was not done correctly. I will probably remake this being the perfectionist that I am lol. I also really need to practice my photography skills. I think I am going to try to build a light box. Do you use a light box and has it helped?
I am really enjoying blogging! I really need to find some more blogs to follow. Do you have any recommendations? What is your favorite blog to follow?
It is beautiful, Marla! I really like the two 4mm beads on the chain. That was a nice touch. My bead embroidery has taken a back seat to bead crochet for a while. I got involved with a group of crocheters online. We have a lot of projects going on right now. As soon as this winds down I will get back to my Marcie projects. I ordered a bunch of new gemstones so they will be there for me when it's time. What are your favorite beading-type topics? I follow a lot of blogs. If I knew what you were interested in I might be able to point you in a direction. One popular jewelry blog is http://lorelei1141.blogspot.com/ If you like here style you can click her "The Blog Roll" link on the left side of her page to see a list of blogs that might be of interest. If you want more seed beads stuff you might check out Marcia Decoster http://maddesignsbeads.blogspot.com/ She has some links on her page of the blogs she likes. What types of blogs would you be interested in?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the response Doreen! I will check those out as soon as I have time. About to go to work ugh! Was supposed to be off today but someone called in /sigh. I love anything seed beads. I was an Art Major in college and because life got in the way I never completed college. (mistake) I am finding now almost 20 years later that I just want to create again! So I am really open to any type of blogs where people create anything. I just want to be inspired if that makes sense. I am looking forward to when you come back from your break on your blog to see what you have created with bead crochet!
ReplyDeleteAnother blog came to mind:

I did buy a relatively inexpensive lightbox on ebay and I really do like it. But there are diy instructions here on the internet on how to make your own. My blog is at http://borntobewornjewelry.wordpress.com
