Work Table Wednesday

 Wow and it is Wednesday.  Sorry I have been absent.  I have been working though.  I had a request from a good customer for a row counter bracelet that had the copper feel and clasp.  So many of my beads go with copper because I love it so, but for more than a week I couldn't find my copper mojo.  I reverted back to turquoise and brown always a good combo and found a few.  One of which the customer liked and ordered.  The other three are headed off to Hopkins, MN with me on Friday for the Bead Bazaar.  The show is both Saturday and Sunday and is in a great open gym at the Eisenhower Community Center.  Check the link for more info and come visit me.

I also have been giving myself a day off every weekend we are home and last weekend was playing with paint.  I did some giant sheets of paper very much like this small piece that are for another project.  This was a postcard that I have already mailed.  I really had lots of fun making layers and layers of paint.

I have been trying to get ready for my first show of the year.  It is not until next month in DesMoines, but the days go so fast that I am sure it will be here before I know what happened.  These are some new bumpy disk beads that I have carded up like buttons.

I really like this set with all the bright colors.  I could just see these down the front of a black sweater.  You can really see the bright yellow bumps in this picture.

From the wreckage of my table in the last week I have been able to get a few more row counter bracelets finished as well.  Stitches South in April is also coming up very quickly.

 Wow more than a week since my last post.  Not doing too well on that goal for this month, and I got off to such a great start.  I'm here now though with a little bit of what is on my table today.  I have loved LavenderField on Etsy for a long time and just love her use of fiber in her jewelry.  From what I can see she uses these great little fiber pieces that are like disks.  I of course think my beads need to be in there with the fiber.  So I decided to crochet a bunch of little circles like you can see in the above picture.

 

 Then I strung them with some of my beads.  I like the look of it but of course don't have enough beads and will have to make some more before I can finish the piece.  I also need to learn some tension control as my disks are sure not a pretty as hers. 

I also finished up a few row counter bracelets that I have been making beads for.  I know it is November but spring and shows will be here in a big hurry.

I hope that everyone has a fabulous holiday tomorrow.   Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy family, fun, and food.
