Picture Finally posted

I may have been quiet but I have been working. I finally have a few weeks at home without any immediate travel plans (well, if you call leaving on 7 Feb not immediate). So, I'm trying to play catchup for not only my work but for posting pictures.

You can see my November page on my blog, http://cindysthreads.blogspot.com/ This piece was based on my first impression of Shaghai, literally. My impressions of what I saw when we were landing.

Happy Beading!
Cindy

Flickr. Off to February now
Cheers,
Nospoj - Dinah

January finished...

and posted on the flickr site as well as my blog.

Underway!

I have finally started on November and really plan to speed way up now that the holidays are over. Who knows, maybe I'll finish this page and start both December and January by weeks end! I know what I want to do for them and November is going pretty fast. I'm a tortoise trying to be a hare!

November is Done

Okay, so I worked out of order. But I finished another page. See it on my blog. Next one October - finally have an idea. And have ideas for January and February, but will probably work on February first.

And I will also take any suggestions on how to better photograph my work.

Thanks.
I have a few new additions to my blog.

I am still learning how to photograph my beaded projects. I'll take any advice that is offered to get a clearer photo. Also, is there a way to make the resolution smaller when you click on the photo? Mine are gigantic when they open up!!!

My December Journal Page

Happy New Year to all of you!

It's been awhile since I've posted here. Between the holidays and a jewelry show I participated in last November, I have a lot of catching up to do. I've just completed my December page and you can view it on my blog here.

Even though I've fallen behind, I've been following everyone's posts and links with great interest and enjoying the gorgeous artwork. I still have my November page to complete. I'd like to do a photo transfer onto fabric. It will be from a photo I'll scan into my computer.

Does anyone have an easy technique for this?

Thanks!

Last few days for Beaded Art Doll voting . . .

A big thanks to all who have voted so far in this competition. Online voting closes on January 15th at which time the winner will be announced.

For anyone who has not seen the entries for the All Dolled Up contest yet, go to http://www.landofodds.com/store/alldolledup2007contest.htm and check out my Galilea and the other five amazing creations. It is mindboggling to think of just how many beads were used to create all these entries!



Many thanks again from Galilea and me!

January Bead Journal Page Completed!

I went about things rather backwards this time but my January page is done and posted on my blog.

I've been thinking about different ways of finishing these pages - My original thought was to bind them into a big fat fabric book but lately I've been thinking of making them into a quilt/wall hanging - the pages are soooo heavy though, I'm wondering if that's such a good idea. Does anyone have any suggestions/insight?

Thanks so much.

Wow am I a goof

Hi everyone and Happy New Year.
And Robin you dear sweet lady thank you for resending that so quickly.
I say I am a goof because I am running down through GMail email now replying to emails sent 5 months ago. I had no idea that Blogspot worked that way and still not sure how it works...lol.. but I will check it daily now for sure.
I am so happy to be a part of BJP. I knew I was apart I just didn't know how to post.
I have been afk for awhile because of work, health issues and traveling. But I am back and hope to get some new things posted soon, I have several new post on my blog now.
Hugs to you all,
Sunni

Another Page Done!


Completed December's page yesterday. It's on my blog if you'd like to take a peek.

I won't bring up October and November's pages (which are still in the subconscious part of my creative self.) Getting caught up with the Beaded Journal Page project is tantamount in my New Year's goals.

Happy New Year everyone!

Need a Little Help

I am a frog collecter so my nine year old granddaughter made me a frog pin for Christmas. It's a quilled frog on a Sculpey lily pad. She glued the frog on the lily pad with super glue but it didn't hold. I don't want to experiment and ruin her project so I am wondering if any of you know what glue will bond Sculpey and paper. Will E6000 work? Any suggestions?

Happy Beady New Year!

December page finished.

Just in the nick of time. (Okay that was a bad pun). It's here

happy new year!

Am not posting a picture of my page for this month in case it is too "unpleasant" a viewpoint/topic for some reader's tastes. Suffice it to say the title is The Devil You Know & The Devil You Don't.
An image is blogged here along with all the particulars.
