Featured Artist - A Bead Thing

Good Morning,

Today I am honored to share the work of a very talented and very busy lady, Pam Andrews of A Bead Thing.  You have met Pam before here on the blog, and she still creates some wonderful items.  Showcasing her items on Handmade Aritsts, it is always a pleasure to see my friend's new work in the listings on the home page or reading her funny and poignant posts in the forum.

Pam has expanded her talents beyond jewelry and has Incorporated quilling into her artists repertoire.  Quilling is the art of curling paper and forming three dimensional sculptures.  Pam has updated this art by using it to make hair accessories.  Clever!

Product Details:
This hair clip is created using the age old art of quilling and I have used 1/4 inch paper strips in a variety of colors ranging from dark pink to coral to simulate the various colors and stages of flowers bloom.  Flower is attached to 1.5 inch alligator clip and glass pearl beads have been added for beauty and dimension. 
Flower has also been coated for durability and it will withstand damp hair but of course stay out of the rain showers.
Custom orders accepted.

Product Details:
Handmade lovely princess length necklace created using a "chenille" stitch. This is very similar to the herringbone stitch, using 15/0 seed beads in "matte teal" and "metallic brass".  Necklace is 19 inches from clasp end to clasp end.  A flared filigree bead cap has been modified to form around the end of the neckace on either end to attach the clasp. This necklace is lightweight and flexible and will be a joy to wear or give as a unique handmade gift.
 
The blog ring theme this time around is Emerald Green, and this bracelet is really amazing and very pretty with the green surrounded by the gold.

Product Details:
This flower necklace is a crochet project using burgandy and bright yellow acrylic yarn.  I have also used a light fern green acrylic for the stems and leaves.  
This is a delight to wear and can be worn as choker with stems and leaves falling down or loosen so that the stems and leaves are closer to flower for a more draped effect.

Five Great Gifts to Give - Etsy Shops

Hello, 

Happy Wednesday.  

Since there isn't much going on in the studio at the moment, and we took a trip with Curiosity to Mars yesterday, and I am instructing classes on Thursday and Saturday, lets take a look at some really lovely things from Etsy shop owners.

We have a couple of new shops for you too.  Tomorrow we have a brand new featured artists and Friday is a mystery, even to me.




Description: You are sure to get noticed with this bracelet!
Made with blue and purple color plated glass gem cut brilliance beads, silver metal corrugated beads and elastic.
Bracelet measures just over 7".

Fall is around the corner and and these fire leafy earrings are just right to brighten up those chilly days ahead. 



Description: Beautiful leaf earrings for fall! Made with opal orange firepolished faceted czech glass beads, orange glass gem cut beads, silver metal leaf charms and wire hooks. They measure about 1.50" in length.




Description:  Set of 3 handmade hair grips / bobby pins/ hair slides which look beautiful if worn as a set or individually. All handmade by The Dorothy Days in England.

Each hair slide/ bobby pin is 44 mm long and is on a bronze style pin which adds to the vintage look. The rose is pink and made from resin.

The set comes carded on a handmade stamped gift tag which means it is perfect to give as a gift and is a great alternative to a card.

Would look lovely for a special occassion such as a wedding or equally beautiful for everyday wear. They suit all ages.

Polymer Clay Bunny Rabbit OOAK Scale Miniature by MagicByLeah

This little guy is a OOAK (one of a kind) original, the first in my set of '30 Bunnies for Spring.As with all my work he is 100% handmade by me without the use of any molds. 

He is sculpted from Premo Polymer Clay over a foil and wire internal skeleton. Bunny's features are the result of hours of attention to detail and meticulous labors of love

He was baked to manufacture directions and left to cool slowly in the oven for increased durability. 

He was painted with a mixture of genesis paint mixed with liquid sculpey to ensure that the colors are 'baked in' and will not rub off or fade.  

He stands approximately 3 inches tall (7.5 cm)
