I LOVE PRECIOSA ORNELA

I got this in the mail today, my heart stopped and I started to shake with happiness. 1 KG of the fabulous beads from Preciosa Ornela! Could it be better? I hope there will be alot of pressed beads... I am so going to make something truly mindblowing!

Dear Veronica Jonsson

Congratulations!

You have been chosen as one of this month’s four lucky participants from among all those who joined our world-wide BEADS FOR BLOG POST campaign.

A package with 1000 grams of beads and seed beads is being prepared and will be sent to you within the next several days.

We hope our fine Preciosa Traditional Czech Beads provide you with many happy hours of creative beading! 

Yours,

PRECIOSA ORNELA

Czech Spike collar all done

It is completly made with czech seed beads, spikes and crystals. Added labratorite and amber for good measure. Love it or hate it :) I love it because I love Preciosa Ornela beads

I am Finally out

Out from the claws that made me sick of fear and feeling not good enough, feeling that it was something wrong with me.
I am finally out of EBEG and even though I love the members the leadership has been repulsive. Been called Evil, questioned about my ability to make jewelry... I am free of the scapegoat coat. Find another one missy... I will not take it anymore.

I joined a loving group of beaders instead that does not have thier own selfpromotion constantly on the first row. They are sweet and loving. Just like the beading community should be, have been for me until EBEG.

So while the americans are prepping for gobble day I am thankful that I am free.

My second entry for Birds of a feather contest

Blood sweat and tears are in this necklace that is fit for a queen, a bride, a Goddess.
Swarovski, seed beads and freshwater pearls are making the stage for the feathers.

I learned alot, I found my strenght and weakness. But it is a good thing. That is why I always push myself in the contests, I learn and grow.

My Lovely Preciosa Scary cuff

I love my Preciosa Ornela seed beads. I made this cuff entirely out of Preciosa Ornela seed beads and halloween prop eyes. This is my entry to GoodQuillHuntings contest Birds of a feather. I wanted the eyelash effect but only on one of the eyes to make that one special.
I hope you like it :)  

It is moving forward

I am going forward on the necklace and I started a bracelet as well, just Preciosa Ornela beads! Ok I have to use other focals to get my point across in the pieces but the joy of beading with, even holes and fab colors, who can resist! I saw on thier website  that they just had a visit from Nepal, how cool is that? Oh well, I have to try to get me a trip to their factory sometime, I would love to see how they make the beads and can you imagine how fab it would be to walk around and maybe, perhaps, if it is allowed, buy beads right from the factory?!? So... now you know my dream... Back to beading :)

Competitions and the art of learning

I am working on 2, for now, competition entries. I can only give sneek peaks as of yet but you will see them completed in november :D Yes I know it is a while left and perhaps I can put them up earlier :) I´ll try.

First off is a agate slice, given to my by my good friend Annette.

Nice coloring on it right :) Well that one is now on the " Oh my god what am I going to do" bead board and it left room for another piece to start showing it´s face

I am just able to show you this, a beautiful labratorite bezeled with my favorite color, copperlined black diamond ab from Presiosa Ornela.








Back to the beads and hopefully I can give you more of a look later :)
