Brick stitch & peyote stitch learning curve

Ive been working on learning the ins and outs or peyote and brick stitch. I wanted to have flowers and leaves to add toy polyclay faces since I'm running out oh Czech glass & polyclay ones. Not bad.

I've decided to focus on those two bead stitches for the rest of summer :)

Double everything pendant! Vacation piece #2

This is the double everything pendant ice been working on this week! Finally finished it- 2 polyclay faces, 2 shells, 2-sided! Beach time!

The summer if wire and faces!

Vineyard!

Ahhhh huge sigh if relief! I've been on vacation without my beading supplies for 13 days! That is an eternity for a bead addict! Finally 2 days ago my sweetheart went to the post office to pick up my beads and wire boxes I'd shipped down here to St. Croix USVI. Bless him!- he staved off my mental frustration! Woot, Baby! Lol.

I started this piece a couple of days before I left on vacation. I spent half of yesterday finishing it! Vineyard- the result of 13 days pent up creativity - now unleashed! :)

I have a feeling I'm going be doing a lot of face pieces this vacation.

Flying through the air

It's amazing what earth looks like when you're flying! I wonder if birds think so?

I said I wasn't making anything for a while! - look what I started this afternoon I

I made so much stuff last week for the show. Over 45 pairs of earrings, bracelets, rings, etc. I got burnt out. I said I wasn't making anything for a while. Just to addict firm- I started this pendant today at the bead shop.

Another green blue goddess-

I love this design! I love coloring and drawing. I think I'm going to spend more time practicing my drawing skills while I'm on vacation! Maybe get back to more writing as well. Of course I'll still wire up bits, but I'm feeling a need to switch obsessions for a while.

Rose Wood Mermaid

I don't do simple very often. Yet, I've been playing with bits and pieces from my huge stash-o-stuff. Here is one of today's simple bits that I just LOVE!!

Wood and copper- two of my favorite materials!

Green Seas- from my Dichotomy Woven monogram pendant

I love the dyed turquoise. The color possibilities are wonderful!
The bezel is made from my Dichotomy Woven monogram pendant. I used a seahorse charm instead of a monogram.

Second batch

These are the second batch of my shrink plastic groove. I LOVE how the face turned out! Of course I now have to do a blue, orange, and white one! Maybe my groove hasn't stopped yet :)

Off to string the necklaces!

Exotic Petal - a fantasy drawing attempt

I started the design for this awhile ago. Today I finished it. It's on shrink plastic. Combo of ink and colored pencil. I'm just enjoying this time off.

Flowering Flame

Sometimes I get into these grooves- this week it's shrink plastic! I love to color and draw- always have. I like that I can use shrink plastic to combine so many passions.

This one is my YOJ submission for the Seeing Red theme.

Blue joy- shrink plastic art

Do you ever just see something simple and feel complete joy? Blue and flowers - those are my simple joys

Sweet flutter in your heart

Happiness captured in petals and beads

Joy sparkling on threads.
