Text of the page (random words):
le prayer before removing the pin backs so i didn t break them lol i rubbed red alcohol ink on them then distressed the tops so the ink is barely seen in the recessed areas the eyes needed some bling so i glued 2 flat back crystals on i also took a chance with the red pom poms with silver glitter accents they do not have holes so i again hoped my idea of shoving beading wire through them would work and it did see these tacky earrings were meant to be in my life i made 2 10mm emerald green ceramic beads and used 2 8mm clear faceted crystals to complete the look here is the sweater that was the inspiration for these tacky earrings and a close up of the earrings thanks diana and i hope everyone has a fantastic holiday season diana ptaszynski michelle ann mccarthy heather powers loralee kolton sue kennedy melissa trudinger kari asbury sandi volpe lindsay starr laney mead posted by firefly design studio at 10 29 am 12 comments saturday april 8 2017 bead peeps swap reveal i have been paired up with beth blanc this year of beth blanc designs beth sent me a wonderful variety of pendants charms crystals and czech glass the main colorway is black cream and silver since i make ceramic beads and pendants i found my matte beige glaze picked the beige tones up perfectly in the czech glass so that s where my inspiration came from while putting together my design plan but first the beads this is what i sent to beth be sure to stop by beth s blog to see what she created with this fun assortment of beads she received here is what i received and these are the ceramic pieces i made to go along with the beads i received i ended up not using the owl bracelet topper for the challenge but he s there just in case now for my necklace design i felt antique bronze was a better metal match to the beige and black so i used an open link chain a toggle bar 20g wire i added seed bead accents and the chunky multi tone czech barrel beads in this fun springy design it measures 18 long and has the crystal swarovski heart accent that beth included by the clasp i used vintaj ear wires in the left pair and a fun pre made antique copper earring findings and charm in the right pair along with ceramic beads and czech glass so i have lots of beads left over for future designs thank you beth for spoiling me with a wonderful goodie package i d also like to thank our swap hostess linda

get to know each other the anticipation of what is going to arrive in that special little package is exciting my partner this year is carol dillman she is a lampwork artist as well as jewelry designer how cool is that in fact she created the lampwork beads that i received i rarely design in the color palette of the beads that i received so it was a bit of a challenge for me to decide what direction to go in i am a ceramic bead artist so i found my maroon glaze matched the beads very nicely that carol made i live in florida and sea life is my favorite inspiration so i made a focal starfish glazed in the coordinating glaze i also made a pair of flower earring charms to pair up with some additional beads in the set i challenged myself a bit further by creating a double layer design i am quite happy with the way it turned out the length is 18 which allows the starfish to be the center of attention in this design carols lampwork beads add nice contrast to the ceramic gemstones and czech glass accent beads the flower earrings are fun and cheerful i usually use commercial ear wires but i made my own for this design even though they are a little longer than i usually make at 3 i love them and i hope you do too carol i hope i did your beautiful lampwork beads justice and i can t wait to see what you created with the beads i sent you here is what carol received from me so be sure to visit carol s blog to see her reveal as well as all the other designers blogs and of course a huge thank you to our blog hostess lori anderson it s a huge job lori anderson hostess claire fabian

comments monday january 30 2017 swap and hop is coming i have been participating in the fun swap and hop event for quite a few years now and each time it gets better and better our swap hostess linda anderson pairs up the participants so here s some info about me what i like don t like bead related lol and some jewelry designs i have recently made i am also a ceramic bead artist so i try to include at least one of my handmade beads in each piece of jewelry i design i live in port charlotte florida which is on the west coast in between tampa and fort myers i am influenced by all the beaches and sea life surrounding me so all shades of blue is seen a lot in my jewelry designs but i also love nature birds and owls are another of my favorite design subjects i think shades of brown capture much of nature green is another color i love there are so many yummy shades from bright lime to subtle mint i like using a crystal accent for some bling in my jewelry and i also like the other metal shades like bronze copper and gunmetal rather than silver and gold i don t use seed beads often except for the larger ones for accent beads however a thing on my to do list is to learn how to bezel set my ceramic cabochons with seed beads some day right see you again when i get to introduce my swap partner posted by firefly design studio at 7 45 am 3 comments friday september 30 2016 beads of courage art charm swap and auction i have been participating the last few years with the art charm swap and auction this years theme is fairy tales well i am a bit rusty with this subject so i goggled it and a whole list came up some i was familiar with some i never heard of and some i didn t realize were a fairy tale the fairy tale i chose falls into the third category not realizing it was a fairy tale alice in wonderland with the little white bunny with pink eyes that lured alice down the rabbit hole i made the charm out of white ceramic clay and painted the eyes and ears pink i used a silver plated bead cap to help hide the wire and finished the charm with a faceted pink crystal and silver plated round spacer bead i think he s a cutie i would follow him down a rabbit hole too i really enjoy receiving the swap charms from 10 participants this is what i received the best part though is raising money for beads of courage i had the priviledge a few year ago of visiting their corporate headquarters in tucson az each charm will be auctioned off with 100 of the proceeds being donated if you aren t familiar with beads of courage you can read about them here http www beadsofcourage org i will be back to let you know more about the auction how it will work the site you can find it on and with the direct link to take you there thank you to our hostess jennifer

when i think of the olympics this past summer i think of the rings used in the logo those rings have been used for as long as i can remember this year s tropical setting in rio also makes me think of tropical beaches in shades of teal turquoise and beige i used the rings as my inspiration and the colors of rio to make these ceramic hoop earrings paired with lamp work glass beads then i took closed hammered rings and wire wrapped orphan ceramic and lamp work beads in between them to form a 30 over the head necklace i love that i was able to use these beads and make a one of a kind design too thank you to melissa trudinger for hostessesing our challenge to see how my friends used the olympics as the inspiration for their jewelry designs please visit www windbent wordpress com www

big job to match all of us up and coordinate all the behind the scenes action i always enjoy participating in swaps sometimes we are paired up with one person like we are with the swap and hop and other times we send in a certain amount of beads charms pendants jewelry and we receive goodies from random participants my swap partner is jenny kyrlach from cincinnati ohio the best part of the swap for me is now i consider jenny a friend i read through jenny s blog and facebook posts to learn more about her she loves purple dark blue green burgandy forests nature aquariums and is a paper bead artist and most importantly no pastels i took all that into consideration when putting together her bead package of course i included some of my ceramic beads that i create i didn t take a picture of what i sent so you ll have to read jenny s blog to see what i sent www anafiassa blogspot com jenny actually sent me beads pendants and finding to create 2 sets of designs she totally spoiled me first i am going to show you how much she sent me that i haven t even used yet i will add them to my bead stash and use them in the future paper beads...
