very first time yesterday we drove a couple hours up into the mountains and enjoyed a calm quiet beautiful day we didn t catch any fish or even get a nibble for that matter dad said it was just too cold for them but we enjoyed some road sodas and had a great time it turns out i can cause my fishing line to knot up just as easily as i can beading thread sigh all the same i m a definite fan of fly fishing and i hope dad and i can go again soon posted by jamie hogsett at 8 31 2009 04 07 00 pm 3 comments wednesday august 26 2009 playing with wire it wasn t my intention for so many weeks to go by since the last time i blogged really it wasn t i went to cha in orlando and things have just been crazy since then starting this week though i m going to do my best to get back on track one of the projects that kept me busy over the last few weeks is pictured above i received an assignment to make twenty necklaces based on the design for the tranquility necklace in the free projects section on the soft flex website this necklace is always super popular at bead shows and it s a fun design to make so this assignment was exactly the kind of thing that i like i used a random assortment of czech pressed glass beads and trios sets in four color combinations mystical renewal serenity and tranquility so pretty i encourage you to check out the free project instructions for this design and make your very own or make one for a new teacher when your little one s head back to school at cha an elementary school teacher stopped by the booth and picked this necklace up saying her students would love it if she wore something like this it doesn t have a clasp and can be made in any length as the wire is flexible enough to stretch over your head it s a great design for just about anyone and can have entirely different looks based on the colors of wire and the types of beads used check it out and have fun beading posted by jamie hogsett at 8 26 2009 03 21 00 pm 2 comments tuesday august 25

15 2009 playing with wire remember these beads well they ve been sitting on my new bead shelf since they arrived patiently waiting for inspiration to strike so that i can make something grand well it just so happens that i had all of my spools of colored so ft fl ex wire sitting near them and i was struck look at how amazingly well these colors match up with the beads citrine red jasper purple amethyst peridot and garnet i heart you now off to create posted by jamie hogsett at 7 15 2009 11 27 00 am 4 comments wednesday july 8 2009 playing with wire when i m at a bead show demoing in the booth i often have a few minutes here and there of free time it s time when i can take some wire and beads and just create i love that time at bead and button i had some gorgeous bronze pearls and a spool of soft flex wire in peridot so decided to play around with them all but a few of the pearls fit well onto the 019 diameter wire and i tried my luck with the knitting spool it would have taken one more strand of pearls to knit a length of wire long enough for a complete bracelet but i didn t know that when i started knitting so i ended up with a knitted cord just short of bracelet length after playing around with it for a few weeks i finally made a finished piece using the knitted section as a focal point it s hard to tell from the picture but the lucite beads that comprise the chain are a marbled blend of the bronze of the pearls and the green of the beading wire and i love how it turned out i d like to oxidize the metal a little bit and then i think i ll like this new piece even
