Slacker No More

Here is a slide show of the stuff I have done in the past few months. Enjoy the Goodies.

Fish Bookmark, Summer Creamcicle Bookmark, and Scarab Bracelets were created from Patterns designed by SuJen Jewelry Designs.

Slacker

Sorry all I have been a major slacker. It has been hard to keep up on much of anything with the kids home for the summer. With the kids going back to school next week, I will be able to keep up better and post new stuff more ofter.

So for the new stuff, I have decided to close my Artfire store. After many many months of no sales (none since I opened it)I have decided that It is better for me to focus just on one online venue for now. I will be moving all of my items to Etsy as soon as possible.

Thanks all.
Hugs.

February Works

My works done in the month of February. Enjoy!

ISGB/B&B Convergence Update

Well, they sent me an email yesterday. We didn't make the cut. The whole we had 140 entries and could only take 48. It was a major bummer for me. I think that I am just not thinking and working big enough when I create my pieces. Sigh, someday i will make the cut. Heehee. Thanks all for your support. Hugs all.

New doll Finished

It Was A Dark and Stormy...Doll
I sat down last night and decided that I needed to work this doll up. I started by glueing on a small clay face cab and 3 matching buttons with the shankes removed. I beaded it up using Size 8 Hemitite colored seed beads, size 6 Black Seed beads and 3 mm Cube beads in Black. I accented it with a silver face bead and 2 silver beads on the bottom. She measures approx. 6.5 inches total length. It was a great feeling to get a doll worked up after such a long brake from them.

New pieces added

I have been working hard on some beaded goodies when I can. I have also been able to add a few new pieces to my Etsy store. Come check it out: www.WickedOakDesigns.etsy.com

Busy, Busy, Busy...

...just wish it was with beading. Work seems to be taking up all of my time. I have however managed to get my piece for the ISGB and Bead and Button Convergence Challange that I signed up for. I will be sending in my photos this week and hoping I am going to make the cut. I was paired with a wonderful Lampwork Artist: Lara Lutrick, aka Beads By Lara. Here work is wonderful you can see it here: http://www.laralutrick.com/
