Beading and the mayor pick-me-up

This is my finished BOTB piece

First the piece on it´s own, after that my great models Simon and Marie.

So how did it go? Well not good, out in the first round. I say now that I would never do something like this again but I know when it starts again next year. I guess I am a glutton for punishment...

But it is not the only beaded thing I have done.

First up a necklace that moved to The Netherlands as soon it was done

Now I will shower you with the rest :) I guess you can find it in my etsy store :) And I am donating 10% to research for asperger and the rest of the autism spectra.

Well, Back to the beading, have fun in the heat and drink alot.

Sneek peak

Battle of the Beadsmith!!!

Thought I would give you all a sneakpeak of what I am working on. So much to do so little time. I just wish I would get to round 2.
Let me know what you think :)

 

So happy I am all giddy!

I am proud to tell you that even if this page has been quiet for a while I am most defenitly still beading and I just got an interview on Nicole Campanellas blogg! I am so honored and if you have´nt tried NBB yet, do it. :)

I LOVE 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.
