This one was really challenging and a lot of fun. The soup simmered in my craft room for several weeks until I decided what I really wanted to do with some of it. But first let me introduce you to my swap partner....her name is Dana also and she is a wonderful wire artist. You will be able to see that from the focal she made from my soup. Please visit her blog to see what goodies I sent her and what miracles she was able to work with it. Have fun taking a look at her wonderful creations at <a href="http://magpieapproved.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Winddancer Studios.</a><br />
<br />
Now to the soup.<br />

As you can see there is a lot of copper metal pieces which I love but I have never worked with the lightweight pieces before. Love the Birdy and it definitely became the focal of one of my pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This first piece came about as I was working up a class project for a winery where I'll be teaching. They wanted something wine related and I thought of corks, then I pulled out some of Dana's goodies that she sent me and was inspired to make this little cork pendant. This is a just a sample of what I'll be teaching at the Scatter Creek Winery on June 21st. I used some of the crystals and the light weight copper pieces. I love how the bottom copper piece makes it look like a flower on the bottom.</div>

The bracelets. The one on top I used some of these wonderful triangular shaped beads around the bangle with one large bead on top. The other two are just wrapped with the sari silk that I'll layer.<br />

The necklace showcases Dana's wonderful wire bird. I even dared to try fusing some copper 14 gauge links. That was fun. I probably need a bit more practice with that.<br />
<br />
All in all this was a fun soup to work with and I have lots of pieces left that I can play with. I still have to make earrings and I'm thinking I really like those etched copper tubes and I just happen to have a couple left...so maybe a new pair of earrings are in my future.<br />

Humm, maybe I should have made that a resolution. Nah, probably wouldn't have worked but I can strive to be better.<br />
<br />
Lots of changes happening. My ArtFire studio has changed from Dana's Jewelry Design to Sano Therapia but I do still have my Dana's Jewelry Design.com site. Most of the jewelry I make these days are commissions so I really didn't see the need but didn't want to give up my <strike>cheap </strike>affordable ArtFire studio so I'm changing it to incorporate a little bit of jewelry and a lot of my homemade lotions and ointments.<br />
<br />
I'm still teaching at Shipwreck Beads at least 3 times a month so you can find me there and we have loads of fun. New classes this year is a Wire Workshop, Captured Coin and Tree of Life Pendant.<br />
<br />

I will be participating in Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party. It's always so much fun getting to know other jewelry artists and swapping beads.Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01378104586609877241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35351925.post-32414235316025193912013-03-29T23:57:00.000-07:002013-03-29T23:57:10.862-07:00Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal is NOW!It is that time of year when Lori Anderson of <a href="http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.com/2013/03/7th-bead-soup-blog-party-first-reveal.html" target="_blank">Pretty Things</a> organizes a great big blog party for all of us jewelry artists, designers, bead makers and bead weavers. She matches us all up and then we send a little bead soup which includes a focal, clasp and a few beads. This year there is 3 reveal dates as there are so many that signed up and this really makes it easier for us to visit all the blogs when there are spread out. My partner is Leslie from <a href="http://twistedchicken.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Twisted Chicken</a>...don't you just love that name. Leslie makes some of the coolest lampwork beads and I got to play and create with some of them. I feel so blessed that she was my partner.<br />
<br />
Here is what I started with a bright mix with lots of lampwork and one that is more subdued (which is actually more my style) in purples and greens.<br />
<br />

I decided I wanted to make something out of each soup mix and started with the green and purple and especially that round focal lampwork piece. I made the pendant first with a little wire work and then added in a few of the beads that blended well.</div>

That's me and my design in an actual magazine published for all to enjoy....woo hoo. I was so excited to take pictures and share with everyone that I forgot to read over the instructions. Okay, did that now I can share. I even got a congrats from my husband for this one. I love this design and it really is fun to make, so go out and get the magazine. Try your hand at making my design and let me know how it goes. I would also be happy to answer any questions you may have (my little tips and tricks).</div>

Since it was after 9 am...yes I did sleep in, it would have to be a late breakfast and since I'm a bit lazy in the morning decided to go for the good old breakfast casserole. Now if you haven't made a breakfast casserole before there are tons of recipes out on the internet but I have devised one that works for me since it is just hubby and I and didn't want a large pan of leftovers.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 Green Bell Pepper diced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 Medium Onion diced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 lb ground sausage cooked and crumbed (I used 2 sausage patties since that is what I had)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used a 4 cheese blend)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6 eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 1/2 cups milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 slices of bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
salt and pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray your pan with a spray oil such as Pam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Saute your diced green pepper and onion until just tender. My sausage patties were the pre-cooked kind but I heated them up as they were frozen and then diced them. Set these aside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a mixing bowl whip eggs, add salt and pepper then the milk. Whip all together with fork or wire whisk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rip your bread slices into pieces and put an even layer on the bottom of your sprayed or oiled pan. Layer your sausage, cooked onion and pepper and 1 cup of the cheese over the bread. Pour the egg/milk mixture over the top and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. The edges will be slightly brown and the middle will not wiggle. You could also do the knife trick and stick it in the middle and if it comes out clean it is done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is also good to make up the night before, cover it and have in the refrigerator ready to pop in the oven when you get up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was perfect for a Sunday brunch. I added a couple slices of bacon and you could add some fruit. How else could you feed 6 people breakfast on 6 eggs, 2 slices of sausage and 3 pieces of bread? Now you can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you don't like peppers and onions...leave them out or add in some different cooked veggies such as zucchini, mushrooms, a few sun dried tomatoes chopped up (yum), smoked salmon instead of the sausage, frozen hash browns instead of the bread.....so many options.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Now I'm ready to tackle the day. Oh, that's right it's Sunday.....I can be lazy all day.</div>

Sometimes I really need to make more time to get out in the fresh air....even though it was a bit chilly but I was out and about all weekend either teaching a class or taking a class so I was glad to be able to just laze about today.<br />
<br />
I did finish up some charms for a round robin bracelet exchange. This first one's theme was amethyst. I love the color and the stone so this was pretty easy for me. I wanted something that would mean a lot to the person receiving the bracelet so I fused fine silver and shaped it into the heart form, hammered it and then added small faceted amethyst stones. It turned out pretty good. I'm used to making hearts that are much larger for pendants but it was fun making one smaller.<br />

<br />
This next bracelet charm theme was industrial steampunk. Now I don't make many steampunk style pieces so I had a bit of trouble, but I found this Industrial Chic charm, took it apart, wrapped it with some annealed steel and added a few pearls. I think it kind of has a hard and soft edge to it.<br />

I've been playing with setting stones in bezels and am terrible (that's what happens when you try to teach yourself) so yesterday I took a class at <a href="http://www.tacomametalarts.com/index.html" target="_blank">Tacoma Metal Arts Center</a>. This is the piece I'm still working on as I need to do some more clean up, polish and then set the stone in the bezel (it is just sitting in it right now). I'm liking the mixed metal look of the copper and silver bezel. I'll be sure to post a final picture when I have it finished. I highly recommend the metal classes by Amy Reeves, she was patient and offered lots of suggestions even to me when I wanted to try a much larger piece then the rest of the class and I wanted to try to solder a silver bezel to copper which I guess can be a little challenging. I'm always up for a challenge.<br />

My partner is Leslie Schenkel and she does some amazing lampwork beads. I am so lucky to be paired with her this year. Here is a look at her <a href="http://twistedchicken.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">blog </a>, and here are the lovely things she sent me to play with.<br />

She sent two sets of beady goodness to choose from. I may use the set on the top with the purple and greens but I'm fascinated with the bright colors of the 2nd set. Oh, what to do. Maybe I'll make several things and then I can use all of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

If you are wondering what I sent her, here is a quick look. I made the pendant and the components. I can't wait to see what she makes from all of it.</div>

The rule from Lori to participate in this bead swap is you must have a blog and once you have your swapped beads from your partner you must use the focal and the clasp.</div>

In other interesting news, I special ordered some pottery pendants to be made so that I could sell them as essential oil diffusers. I'm so happy with them. They were made by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/teresagriffin" target="_blank">Teresa Griffin Pottery Studios</a> and features a glazed back and unglazed front so that the essential oil will absorb.</div>

This year is no different but I'm finding it much harder. I've started destashing some beads and getting rid of items I don't use any longer and I even moved some fabric that I use for donations to an under the bed box. I still have too much and not enough things/boxes to organize everything in. I did finally get my yarns in a box instead of a bag, but now to find a place for it. Oh, to have a bigger room. On second thought, I would just fill the bigger room with more stuff so we won't go there. So, I continue to try to organize until I need to work on something and out everything comes again to the point it's hard to walk or even find the table top. Did I mention this room is only about a 7' x 9' room at the back of the house and floor space is a premium. Probably the same size as my laundry room so not very big.<br />
<br />
I do get discouraged as I walk into that small room and realize I have no idea what to do to make it better except to get rid of a lot of stuff. Although I do know that if I get rid of something, I'll probably need it next week for a different project, no best idea is to continue trying to organize. So I push on.<br />
<br />
For those of you that have not seen my little slice of clutter heaven. Here is a pic when it was nice and organized with new cabinets. Wish I could see that table top now.<br />

I won't even show you what it looks like now.<br />
<br />
In hubby's and my quest for better heath this year we purchased a new cookware set. Okay so I have to tell you a little story first before I get to that. When we got married I had cookware. I purchased the set back in 1978 or so right out of high school. Paid it off with payment plans if that gives you any indication of how much it was and used it up until we got married. Great cookware but hubby didn't want to cook in stainless steel so we packed it away in the garage loft and forgot about. So the daughter calls and says she is having a cookware demonstration at her house and would we come to dinner. Okay, sure why not. I had a feeling it was the same cookware I had in the loft and said so but we went.<br />
<br />
Talk about a surprise, same cookware that my mother had which was a step above my old set and expensive but fixed great food with no oil and no water. Yes, this is that famous waterless cookware. Hubby loved that it packed well and you didn't have to use water and you could fry without oil and cleaned up like a breeze. I was even more impressed with the baking soda test. Most stainless steel will pass the test but we had some annodized aluminum and cast iron we were using that would not pass. Try this test. Two cups of water in one of your sauce pans and a teaspoon of baking soda. Boil. Take a small taste. It should taste like baking soda and water right, well if you used something other than stainless it tastes like poison. Not good. I just can't imagine that cooking veggies or anything else in those pans wouldn't alter the taste of your food. So out they went and hubby was up in the loft looking for my old set. Now did I say we bought us a new set...yes we did, but never fear we are not getting rid of my old set it will be put to good use in our motor home as we get rid of the pans there.<br />
<br />
You know a lot of what the salesman said was true, we replace appliances costing thousands every few years (they just don't make them like they used to) and even replace our pots and pans when the coating starts to wear out but how many of us can say that we have cookware that will last our lifetime. I do and now I have a second set that will be even better. I can't wait to get it and start learning to cook all over again.<br />
<br />
Now I sound like a commercial but really can you place a value on your health? My hope is that we will start cooking healthier and be healthier for it.<br />
<br />
On the workbench this week.<br />

Okay, our life isn't necessarily normal but whose is. I haven't taken down the holiday decorations yet as I want to enjoy them a few more days but I'm sure that by the weekend our house will also be back to normal.<br />
<br />
Hubby has been fighting a cold, not sure if he won or the cold but I've been trying to take precautions and boosting my immune system with all kinds of essential oils, vitamins and supplements. I do have a cough but it isn't what it could have turned into and for that I am thankful. I do have a recipe that you can use on the bottom of your feet when you have a cold. I do think it prevented hubby's from getting worse and my mom swears by it. We use it "neat" (3 drops on feet every night) but if you don't feel comfortable with that then you can dilute the 3 drops with a teaspoon of olive oil.<br />
<br />
3 drops Peppermint EO<br />
2 drops Eucalyptus EO<br />
2 drops Camphor EO<br />
2 drops Frankincense EO<br />
<br />
As I was blog hopping I came across the Camp Wander blog and she has some awesome things to try. Yesterday's post was all about anti-aging and a recipe she has to help regenerate the skin. It of course contains Frankincense. I'll have to try it out. Here is a <a href="http://campwander.blogspot.com/2012/12/anti-aging-facial-with-manuka-honey.html#more" target="_blank">link </a>to her blog post.<br />
<br />
Not only do I feel that this coming year I need to be better to my skin and body but also my mind and creativity as well. Today I started a new year long on-line art journey called Life Book with Tamara LaPorte. I've already started with the first lesson and can't wait to see how the journey goes this year. This piece is my fantasy "Fairy Art Mother". She turned out pretty good and is now hanging in my studio to remind me that whatever I create, it is wonderful and beautiful.<br />

She is made with watercolor and watercolor crayons. If you follow my art blog <a href="http://basicallyart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Basically Art</a>, I will be posting my progress throughout the year.<br />
<br />
I have so many more things in the works including a new class for my "Hammered Pendant" and a new "Coastal Cypress" gem tree so stay tuned and for those class dates.<br />
<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br />
<br />
It's going to be a great year.<br />

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hubby and I took a little trip after Thanksgiving and headed down South to New Orleans to take a couple of cruises out of their port. I think I was more impressed with New Orleans than the cruises but we had a great time even though it took away from my holiday creating and planning. </div>

Since we will be traveling so much we don't have anymore scheduled until the first weekend in June. Quite a big break for us as we usually do one in April and one in May. I think 2013 will be our mega travel year with a long extended vacation to Italy. I'll definitely be blogging more about that as we get closer.<br />
<br />
I worked on some metal pieces this weekend along with some bullet charm/pendants. Both are selling well and I have a class scheduled at the gem and mineral show this coming Saturday to teach this technique. Funny, I have more men in my class than women. Since it involves a lot of hammering, I would have thought that would have appealed to women wanting to get out their aggressions...I know I do. It really does make for a better marriage if he can handle all the noise. ha<br />
<br />

I did four Mexican Fire Opals (second photo) in copper, the Ammonite in copper, Tiger Eye in brass and the unknown lovely blue stone (may be Shattuckite but definitely a copper mineral) with copper flecks mounted in copper. My favorite is the Tiger Eye in brass even though the brass was a bear to work with even when I annealed it using the torch.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of the bullets with Mexican Fire Opal glued inside the bezel. They've been cleaned up a bit since I took this photo this weekend and the lighter one sold as well as one I made as a special order for Johnny of Tipps Gems who brought me over this wonderful faceted opal and wanted it mounted in one of the bullets. It turned out great but unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it. Since it was a trade for services, I did receive a faceted sunstone, faceted citrine and a piece of faceted red glass....all will look great mounted in the bullets.<br />

This first picture is of my pendant. I had charms left over so I fashioned the word "Boo" from wire and then attached the charms at the bottom. Now I just have to add my chain. The charms were all awesome and creative. Thanks to Thespa for organizing.<br />

<br />
Such a spooky time with all the kiddies out and trick or treating and all the houses decorated. There are some that even get the dogs involved now with costumes. We haven't but I have thought about it. Well I will have a special post tomorrow with my spooky Halloween charm bracelet and a blog hop hosted by Thespa over at <a href="http://vintiquitiesworkshop.blogspot.com/">Vintiquities Workshop</a>. We had some really fun and spooky charms created by all the participants.<br />
<br />
Here is a look at some of the charms I have created for Halloween this year.<br />
<br />

I had fun creating the word art with the copper wire. I know it's hard to tell but the top charm is a skull bead with a hammered piece of copper wire and crystals with handmade head pins. Lots of cool charms to come.<br />
<br />
We were traveling for 3 weeks in the motor home so being home has been nice although I'm still not caught up with cleaning and laundry.<br />
<br />
I was able to capture some deer photos as they roamed the campground we were at. They were almost tame as they really didn't care if you were there or not. I stayed my distance as I have heard that they can get pretty mean if they are used to getting fed by people and you don't feed them.<br />

Our last little trip was to Oregon's wine country and to go to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum. It was a great week. I don't think I have ever tasted so much Pinot Noir in my life, some good and some not so good.<br />

Wow, it has been busy. I did post on my <a href="http://basicallyart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Art blog</a> so you can always find me there if I'm not here. In fact, follow them both and then you'll find out everything that is going on in my artsy little world.<br />
<br />
This week has been all about pendants. It started as a desire to create a tutorial for the newsletter of a gem and mineral club I belong to and has morphed. I found a picture of a Linda Larson pendant that doesn't use solder and thought that would be perfect for those not wanting to learn to solder or afraid of using a torch.<br />
<br />
My first design was to just use 12 gauge wire and hammer the dickens out of it and then punch holes and use wire to sort of wire wrap the stone in place. Fun, fun, fun. I love hammering. So, I've now made several with a couple of different wrap designs and think I have a good handle on the tutorial part as I try to streamline the process.<br />
<br />
My second design I just finished today and was inspired by one of Linda's pendants...you can view it <a href="http://objectsandelements.typepad.com/objects_and_elements/2012/08/the-process.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. It is a piece of copper sheet, cut and then tabbed to hold the cabachon. It's really my favorite but does take some time to cut, shape, file, hammer and fit the cab.<br />

Well, I will be taking a break from working with wire tomorrow as we are headed to the beach for the day. Maybe I'll even remember to take my camera and get the dogs in action on the beach.Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01378104586609877241noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35351925.post-6464230804925539542012-08-06T01:00:00.000-07:002012-08-06T01:00:00.259-07:00Death of a Schoolgirl, a Book ReviewI recently had the opportunity to pre-read the newest book by Joanna Campbell Slan this past week and boy was it good.

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The classic story of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
continues in this new book by Joanna Campbell Slan. The story starts out with
Jane and Edward Rochester living happily with their newborn son set in 1820
which is just a little after where the original Jane Eyre stopped. Things
appear to be going well until they get a disturbing letter from Edward’s ward who
was sent to a girls boarding school in London. With Edward not able to travel,
Jane sets out for London to check on the girl. In route, Jane runs into all
kinds of problems and they don’t stop when she finally reaches London. Her
first visit to the boarding house has her embroiled in a murder mystery that
she can not help but try to solve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In classic Jane Eyre fashion, Joanna has spun a story that
will keep you turning the page to find out what will happen and who did it. The
book is so well written that you could have just read the original Jane Eyre
and then picked up Death of a Schoolgirl and continued with her story and not
lost a beat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the
continued escapades of Jane.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Now for the reveal of our creations that we sent our partners earlier this month. If you want to see what I received here is the link to that post. <a href="http://danasjewelrydesign.blogspot.com/2012/07/6th-bead-soup-party.html">http://danasjewelrydesign.blogspot.com/2012/07/6th-bead-soup-party.html</a><br />
<br />
The rules are simple, we are to use the focal and clasp in our design(s), which can be all in one piece or a couple, we don't have to use all the beads our partner sent and we can add some of our own.<br />
<br />
As soon as I saw what my partner <a href="http://cherylmccloud.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cheryl </a>sent I knew I had to use the pink and the little silver purse for my niece who is a Miche representative. <span style="background-color: white;">I used the clasp in this piece as the findings were sterling and that is what she wears most often. I struggled with this piece as I first thought I wanted to do a stretchy bracelet and then the clasp called to me and I decided she would wear a strung one more often. I love how it turned out. Most of these beads are Cheryl's with the lampwork and sterling bead caps of mine thrown in.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This next piece has the lovely enamel pieces that Cheryl made....love them, so I used the largest as my focal, along with some copper washers that I hit with my torch and then hammered, green garnet that Cheryl sent, blue lapis and some jade that I had. Cheryl also sent the chain I used. This piece doesn't have a clasp as it is long enough to slip over the head and I love the sari silk at the back.<br />
<br />

I started out on a quest to made the perfect little charm for an Alice in Wonderland swap and here I am making Mad Hatter Hats. Please note these are too large to be used for a charm or pendant. Ugg. Now I'm addicted to making these things.<br />

They are pretty cute but what do you do with them besides just look and admire. Are the sellable? If so, then I can keep making them. LOL Otherwise I'll just end up with a ton of these little hats. The crushed velvet is my favorite and obviously it's going to be my most recent one with the burgundy and gold sari silk and hand made crystal hat pin. I just don't know what to do with them at this point. They might be pretty cool for a Bridal shower as table decor, maybe a Steampunk themed party or Halloween.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a little tidbit about how the "Mad Hatter" name came about. It really is inspired by the phrase "mad as a hatter". Mercury used to be used in curing the felt for hats, making it impossible for hatters to avoid inhaling the Mercury fumes. Mercury poisoning causes neurological damage as well as confused speech and distorted vision. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Explains a lot about how I'm feeling...oh wait, I didn't use any felt. I guess I don't have an excuse.</div>

See link on the right hand column if you want to check it out. I am in the first reveal (7/28) ooh, that's coming up fast, and my awesome partner is <a href="http://cherylmccloud.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cheryl McCloud</a>... here is her <a href="http://cherylmccloud.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>..talk about a wonderful artist.<br />
<br />
There are so many of us in this blog hop that Lori has separated it into 3 different reveal dates so we have time to visit everyone's blog and see what wonderful jewelry creations they made with their partners beads.<br />
<br />
The rules of play are that you must have a blog and you must use the focal and the clasp that your partner sends you. You don't have to use both focal and clasp in one piece. We post pictures showing the pieces we made on the reveal date and then hop around to all the other blogs. Fun right.<br />
<br />
Well I received this wonderful soup from my partner.<br />

See those lovely enameled pieces in the bottom left, well those Cheryl made herself. I think I will have to use that large one as my focal. So many choices. The color palette is perfect. I'm going to have to get started.<br />
<br />

<br />
Both of these necklaces are longish and feature all vintage pieces like chandelier crystals, old buttons, old pins, old bottle (top photo), crystals from an old necklace, sari silk and on the last one a silver piece off a watch chain. All the chain is new. I had one other one but when I wore it to lunch with a friend she took it right off my neck claiming she needed to take it to Paris with her...LOL. I kind of figured she would like that necklace. It was similar in design to the bottom picture with the crystal point as the centerpiece.<br />

If you have never been to an art retreat you are missing out especially if you love art and various crafts. This year I'll be teaching at the Portland retreat my Bonsai Gem Tree class, Friday, October 5th. It is a full day class so you will have time to make not only a little bit larger tree than normal but learn all my secrets to a great tree design. You will complete a tree in class all ready for you to take home.</div>

Also, if you find you want to learn this tree style and can't make the Art & Soul Retreat, I also teach at <a href="http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/catalog/Classes/Wire-Working-Classes/" target="_blank">Shipwreck Beads</a> in Lacey, WA a various of classes. Feel free to check out what they have to offer. Please note that the class at Shipwreck is only 3 hours in length and you will make a tree but it will be smaller in size.</div>

I'm not sure what drove me to adding the peace charm at the bottom of the pendant but it seemed to balance out the oddness of using bullet casings for jewelry. Sorry folks, this set is already going to a good home tomorrow but if you want a set, just let me know.<br />

I also have been busy making little drawstring baggies. I usually make them to use when someone buys a piece of jewelry or lately I've been making about 20 a month for the children in the oncology department at Mary Bridge Children's hospital. These were a special order for a Mary Kay representative who just happens to be my niece Shelby. She is really into the pink.</div>

Last week hubby, my mom and both my niece and nephew and their spouses took a couple of day trips. Our first trip was to the ocean (Pacific) at Grayland beach. It started out cloudy with a few rain showers going but once we got there...nice and sunny. Such a treat. The dogs even got a good run in. We love going this time of year and during the week as there aren't very many people on the beach.<br />

I like this shot as you can see Buddy the spaniel running in the distance, hubby keeping a watchful eye on him and Leo thinking he just found some food. We are always catching him with crab shells or something in his mouth.<br />

My niece and her husband and I can just hear her saying "just one more shell".<br />
<br />
The next day we headed up to Seattle to Pike Place Market then to the Seattle Center to view the new Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit and the Space Needle. We packed a lot into one day and our feet were sure tired at the end of it but we all had a great time and have the pictures to prove it. I highly recommend the glass exhibit...so worth it.<br />

Here we are at the top of the Space Needle. It definitely was a picture taking day.<br />
<br />
After a couple of days of high activity, I was glad to get back to our normal routine and just a little peace.Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01378104586609877241noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35351925.post-33838258340200926772012-06-13T20:29:00.002-07:002012-06-13T20:29:38.605-07:00Having Fun With CharmsFor the past several days...okay more than a few days, I've been trying to get caught up on all the art charm swaps I'm in. I am hosting a Postal swap and a Pendant swap and like a sucker I just couldn't resist signing up for 2 sets each.<br />
<br />
The pendant swap was pretty easy as I love to play with wire. So I made several different types of wired up pendants. These first ones are all the same and I call them my crystal ball pendants as they are made out of quartz crystal.<br />
<br />

<br />
This next set was me just playing around. It was kind of fun.<br />

<br />
Then the hard part started.... My postal charms, oh what to make. I was not very creative at all and finally decided to make my soldered charms for my first set. I just love these. I used mostly old stamps that my husband had rejected out of his collection. Can you believe we found one in here from 1895. Yup, someone is going to receive that one in a swap.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My next set was harder to figure out and finally I just glued a ton of postage stamps to a piece of card stock as a collage and then used Diamond Glaze to affix a glass piece over the top of the pieces that I cut out. A simple coil and loop for the hanger a little more Diamond Glaze on back and there you go, postage stamp charms. Probably out of all of them, these are my favorite because they are so different.<br />

<br />
Another swap I signed up for was the Amulets and Talisman swap. This was hard. I did lots of research and several test charms. It was hard keeping them to under 1 1/2". The bottle charm got kicked out as it was too big and I ended up not liking the triangle with the eye in the middle. So four different charms the amulet bag made out of leather and filled with various protective stones, the symbol of the moon out of silver with crystal, the wishbone in gold (not really just brass) and the protection amulet with a binding and protective stones.<br />

<br />
So, I think I am now all caught up. Whew, that was a lot of charms. I can't wait to see what I get in return.<br />
<br />
One more thing, I have a Bonsai Gem Tree class coming up June 30th at Shipwreck Beads in Lacey, WA, so if you have been wanting to learn how to make a gem tree, this is a great starter class. Come have fun with us.<br />

I've been playing again in my craft room and normally when I play I'm painting or doing one of my other hobbies but yesterday and today was actually playing with sheet metal and wire. I wanted to make some copper bangles but didn't have any sheet copper but did have some sheet metal the color of copper and silver in 24 gauge. It is a little thin for bracelets but thought I would work up some ideas anyway. I really like how the copper colored one came out and I think in a heavier gauge metal it would work really well.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Funny thing that while I was at the craft store buying fake flowers (see last paragraph) I just had to go over to the jewelry and beads section and I found some sheet metal with patterns embossed. So, I got to play a bit more. Here is the set I created with the antiqued gold tone metal pieces.</span></div>

I think for the other metal pieces I'll get out the big guns (the Dremel) to help with the filing and polishing as doing this with a little jewelry file was time consuming. The bracelet is my favorite piece but they all work well together but I do have to change up the necklace a bit as I just don't like the chain dangles from the top.</div>

Since I was playing and there was no pressure to create something fantastic, at the home improvement store hubby bought me a copper tube cutting tool. This is too cool. I already had the copper tubing but had no way to cut it and never even thought about cutting it up into little pieces for beads but this was so much fun.</div>

It's just this heavy chunky chain and I love it. I may have to make more. I think I'm obsessed.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To take a break from jewelry making, I decided to redo my front porch... ha ha, those of you that know me know that I can not grow flowers at all. In fact, plants and I don't get along and they seem to just wither and die a slow death. Well, last Fall I got the bright idea to put fake (silk) flowers in my flower pots out front. So, I planted sunflowers and mums. It looked so much better than the dead flowers and lasted all Winter. Well, it has been past time for me to update the porch for Spring/Summer. So, off to the craft store I went and found all kinds of silk flowers for my pots. My front porch is now ready for warm weather and I don't even have to water them.</div>

On that note, I'll wish everyone a happy Memorial Day and let us all remember the Veterans who have given their life so that we may have freedom. Thank a Veteran today.</div>

I have indecision with me and I really don't like him. Note I did call it a him as that is what I believe it to be as my muse is a woman. I've been working on some Amulets and Talismans for a charm swap. I've done quite a bit of research so they at least look somewhat authentic and then just trying to figure out how to craft them was giving me fits.<br />
<br />
Here is what I have so far:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicozUmBWVG9t0dH_OdWzBJU55vuTgaljJGN5Fhc1ziuxgKB-PR6dmh2Ap4yKhI-CAIRMgU21nENrE6v_niWucWekLCkUdbLghpJEf9RqCQ2mTNn_pO2vb_ykmdXbJ471VvsgsO/s1600/P1090252.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicozUmBWVG9t0dH_OdWzBJU55vuTgaljJGN5Fhc1ziuxgKB-PR6dmh2Ap4yKhI-CAIRMgU21nENrE6v_niWucWekLCkUdbLghpJEf9RqCQ2mTNn_pO2vb_ykmdXbJ471VvsgsO/s640/P1090252.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
We are challenged by size as we can't go larger than 1 1/2" in length so I immediately have to eliminate the bottle with all the healing and protection in it (agates, seeds, salt, rosemary) as it will be too long. I don't like the triangle with the eye in the middle... it just needs something more. The other four, I'm okay with. Would love comments, ideas or anything else you might suggest.<br />
<br />
I made some really cool crystal ball pendants that would have been great for this swap this past weekend but alas they are too long, so they will get used for a pendant swap. I think the rock crystal is about a 16mm.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If I would have thought about it, I could have gotten some a bit smaller. I think they would have made a great charm and had significant meaning.<br />
<br />
Well, If I'm going to get finished with these blasted things I better get back to it. Have a great Memorial weekend and be safe. I'll be posting an update on my art blog later today if you want to check that out.<br />
<br />
Cheers, DanaDanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01378104586609877241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35351925.post-54967632722992990012012-05-13T06:00:00.000-07:002012-05-13T08:40:17.416-07:00Button Swap Blog Hop TimeSome time ago I mentioned that I was participating in a button swap hosted by Cindy Wimmer over at <a href="http://www.sweetbeadstudio.com/">Sweet Bead Studio</a>... now what do we do with all those buttons? Well I decided to make some jewelry. My partner was Christine Stonefield over at <a href="http://sweetgirldesign.blogspot.com/">Sweet Girl Design</a>. She sent me some wonderful buttons to play with. Our challenge was to use at least one of them in a creation of some kind and it didn't have to be jewelry.<br />
<br />
Here is what she sent. Don't you just love the large ceramic one... How did she know that I love leaves and all things trees. My first thought was to make a journal and use one of the buttons for a closure and I may still do that but I really had to so something with that vintage lovely at the back.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This was the first piece and I knew I wanted to make a ring and this is the perfect button for that added flash for when we go out in the evenings.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM1GVcvZ7OJL55TaTg41uYoPzC8BGKGM1Zz5KzFSdJ-SRdE7XnkkdadUAQ0Fp-OnQuwLSMaB49S7e0ae3NktobsAivvtuLnZfBUSnY7LS_C7l38e1PxOBIh4K61CE5BrSOn0sx/s1600/P1090236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM1GVcvZ7OJL55TaTg41uYoPzC8BGKGM1Zz5KzFSdJ-SRdE7XnkkdadUAQ0Fp-OnQuwLSMaB49S7e0ae3NktobsAivvtuLnZfBUSnY7LS_C7l38e1PxOBIh4K61CE5BrSOn0sx/s400/P1090236.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This next piece just kind of created itself. My first thought was to make some of my signature wire leaves and dangle them off the bottom but when that didn't look good I moved it to the top and added gemstone beads of jade, malachite and unikite as dangles at the bottom. Since I felt it still needed something I tied a bit of sari silk in the middle and used the remainder to hang around my neck. Yep the perfect pendant.<br />

I am so going to wear this today as my mother and I are going shopping for Mother's Day.... okay we really don't have to have a reason to go shopping but since I couldn't get the guys to agree to a picnic up on Mt. Rainier, we will just have to suffer through.<br />
<br />
So if you would like to blog hop around and see all the other fantastic button works of art, here are the participants and their partners.<br />
<br />
Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day!<br />

She seems to always <strike>complain </strike>indicate that she has no jewelry... yea right mom. So, I've been working on a few new pieces just for her. One thing she says is that she has no copper, well she can't say that after tomorrow as I made her an entire ensemble.<br />

I just kind of let the metal do what it wanted to. I pounded and then stuck it in the flame of my torch then pounded some more. Finally I got the 12 gauge metal wire into some semblance of a shape, then wire wrapped the top with another loop. After looking at it a bit more, punched the holes in the bottom and dangled the Carnelians and felt it was still missing something. That's when I remember making my flower head pins, so I torched the ends to a ball then wrapped them up the sides of the piece.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of all of it together.<br />

Okay, so if you see my mom wearing this set be sure to say something about her "new" jewelry. Then she'll be able to say that everyone noticed that she was wearing something new. LOL<br />
