I hope you will join me in my discovery of my love of handmade beads and jewellery.Linda - Earthshine.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04398902335499682563noreply@blogger.comBlogger306125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394347878641885760.post-69380149983393863182017-12-25T10:25:00.001+00:002017-12-25T10:25:57.756+00:00Moved!You may have noticed that I have not blogged in an age. That's not strictly true but as my work has taken on a new direction over the last year I have moved my blog to my website http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/blog and it just occurred to me that I hadn't let anyone know. So I am doing so now!<br />
<br />
I wish all my followers a Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2018.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking.<br />

</div>
It's the time to reveal what I made with the gorgeous pendant I that I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive from Lesley Watt for the May component of the month challenge over on the Art Elements blog site. Here is the link to the original post: <a href="http://artelements.net/may-component-of-the-month-design-challenge-and-giveaway/">http://artelements.net/may-component-of-the-month-design-challenge-and-giveaway/</a><br />
<br />
and a reminder of what I received. <br />
<br />

Even though Lesley used a shell to create the pattern, the colour and the texture of the piece immediately made me think of lichen and all things woodland.<br />
<br />
I thought you might like to see my thought process as I went along rather than just show you the finished piece. <br />
<br />
I decided to have a go at making some ivy leaves in glass. My first attempt came out looking like a hemp leaf lol!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BdTLerVZRWA/WRxKiLriqyI/AAAAAAAAFws/ESKSaKbMDCcTrv29xUcevBzhULUrC99bACLcB/s1600/20170517_132550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BdTLerVZRWA/WRxKiLriqyI/AAAAAAAAFws/ESKSaKbMDCcTrv29xUcevBzhULUrC99bACLcB/s320/20170517_132550.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I popped into the garden and picked this ivy leaf for reference.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sKfaU3EapoI/WRxKontO0QI/AAAAAAAAFww/JSj9dbbNOKIE84uiIvDDpXII8C9eMmWrQCLcB/s1600/20170517_132604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sKfaU3EapoI/WRxKontO0QI/AAAAAAAAFww/JSj9dbbNOKIE84uiIvDDpXII8C9eMmWrQCLcB/s320/20170517_132604.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My next attempt was a little better!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aj-l7IKQtGc/WRxKZpCESHI/AAAAAAAAFwo/65pXGi-GN2UHRhkdmtScy_FeMlwqdlnLACLcB/s1600/20170517_132637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aj-l7IKQtGc/WRxKZpCESHI/AAAAAAAAFwo/65pXGi-GN2UHRhkdmtScy_FeMlwqdlnLACLcB/s320/20170517_132637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I wanted to create the impression of the veining in the leaf but wasn't really happy with using the razor tool to create the details. So my next attempt I thought I would draw the veins on with stringer. it's been a while since I did any stringer work as you can see it was a bit of a failure!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qzbOXdw1muI/WRxKHPWXciI/AAAAAAAAFwg/uoYdIWLTtfUAwGgy_EtA-JBCCULHbM_7QCLcB/s1600/20170517_132645.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qzbOXdw1muI/WRxKHPWXciI/AAAAAAAAFwg/uoYdIWLTtfUAwGgy_EtA-JBCCULHbM_7QCLcB/s320/20170517_132645.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I also tried etching the leaves to see if they would look any better matt rather than shiny.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Then I woke up in the middle of the night and thought, I know, I'll have a go at etching the veining onto the glass with my new Micro Dremel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My first attempts were practices using different size etching tools and bingo this gave me the look I was after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qTe2yjOkmjI/WRxKOH5IodI/AAAAAAAAFwk/2w1R_gg00osVS2DJ975red-5mSK0P8FUwCLcB/s1600/20170517_132737.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qTe2yjOkmjI/WRxKOH5IodI/AAAAAAAAFwk/2w1R_gg00osVS2DJ975red-5mSK0P8FUwCLcB/s320/20170517_132737.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up was to try some different coloured glass as I wasn't really happy with the transparent dark green I used. I tried a CIM glass called Sherwood and even some enamel but still wasn't 100% happy. Then I found an odd lot rod of a Vetrofond glass called Lemongrass that a friend gave me. Odd lots are glass that aren't everyday production, they might be mistakes made when trying to repeat a production glass and usually aren't repeated. The Vetrofond factory where this one was made was sold to a new owner but the existing owner didn't give away any of his recipes so although the new owners are trying to re-produce the glass it is unlikely we will see this one again. Glass like this is usually coveted by lampworkers and unhappy when they run out. Luckily I had enough to make the leaves I wanted.</div>

Using the finest etching ball I engraved the veins and success! I had the look I was after. Now just to make a few more.....<br />
<br />
I knew I wanted to make a necklace (well what else could you do with a pendant piece!) but I didn't want it to be too fussy and detract from the beauty of the pendant so I took some 1.5mm copper wire and created a frame. I wire wrapped the ivy leaves onto the frame and then hung the pendant from the centre.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agWC64dnUaA/WSwOPLXs4XI/AAAAAAAAFxs/7zft3M2ESxsT5g4QF6FV2_uxmqWv--rsgCLcB/s1600/20170529_114641.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agWC64dnUaA/WSwOPLXs4XI/AAAAAAAAFxs/7zft3M2ESxsT5g4QF6FV2_uxmqWv--rsgCLcB/s320/20170529_114641.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I had this lovely hand dyed silk chiffon ribbon that I pulled from my
stash to create a cord to hang the piece from. I took some 3mm elastic
and wrapped the ribbon around it and glued the ends.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Antique brass bead caps finished it off and I made a copper spiral clasp to complete the look.<br />
<br />

In my defence I have and am still struggling with a frozen shoulder :-(<br />
<br />
I've had lots of treatment and it is slowly improving although I have the occasional setbacks when I over do it.<br />
<br />
I have been back at the torch recently and creating items to sell in my Etsy store and for the local galleries that I have jewellery in.<br />
<br />
I was checking my blog reading list when I spotted the May component of the month giveaway on the Art Elements blog site. <a href="http://artelements.net/may-component-of-the-month-design-challenge-and-giveaway/">http://artelements.net/may-component-of-the-month-design-challenge-and-giveaway/</a> I fell in love with these beautiful pendants made by Lesley Watt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b_4kVQYtZ_0/WQmqBokcu9I/AAAAAAAAFuM/MmxhvwAWcMQJKuRVuM-MkpFFprybz4CPgCLcB/s1600/may%2Bdesign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b_4kVQYtZ_0/WQmqBokcu9I/AAAAAAAAFuM/MmxhvwAWcMQJKuRVuM-MkpFFprybz4CPgCLcB/s320/may%2Bdesign.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So I decided that I hadn't made any jewellery other than the glass jewellery for the gallery and put my name in the hat to win one of these beauties and lo and behold I won! So excited and here's the pendant I received from Lesley.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have an idea in mind of what I would like to create with it but unfortunately I have been overdoing it and need to rest my shoulder a little once I can get back on the torch I can bring my idea to fruition.<br /><br />Pop back on the 30th May to see what I created.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Readers of my blog will know that I won a scholarship given by both the ISGB and the Bead&Button Show. The goal of the
scholarship is to support an ISGB member who sees artistic excellence
and the education needed to further explore their passion for glass,
metal work, jewelry making, and more. To be the recipient of such a
generous scholarship proved to be an incredible experience for me. It
included a stipend for travel, a Master workshop, additional classes,
tickets to all events, hotel accommodations for the entire length of my
stay, and much more.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted to go to Bead and Button to expand my jewellery
making skills and I wasn't disappointed. I made the most of the opportunity and
took a class everyday starting with a 4 day Master Class in Precious Metal Clay
with Celie Fago. Most of the students had taken a class with Celie before and I
was very lucky when my benchmate immediately offered to share her tools and
guided me throughout the class - A new friend was made - the first of many. </div>

competition. The theme for the competition was
Sea Life.<br />
<br />
I had a couple of ideas in my mind. The first was coral flowers, I had a look online and found a picture of Zoanthid Coral<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5PaiJ54nEio/VxXwaY5wBHI/AAAAAAAAFj4/RlR9iO8zyU87VPzRbpLZ4PhX8Ol22C9hACLcB/s1600/zoanthid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5PaiJ54nEio/VxXwaY5wBHI/AAAAAAAAFj4/RlR9iO8zyU87VPzRbpLZ4PhX8Ol22C9hACLcB/s320/zoanthid.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I set about making some zoanthid coral headpins and discs, experimenting with different colours<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v9QJcB5z9js/VxYPYg0z2AI/AAAAAAAAFlU/qA8ZHWANSRgS7-RKG8RlH0R6LuvPcc1MQCLcB/s1600/20160419_104422.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v9QJcB5z9js/VxYPYg0z2AI/AAAAAAAAFlU/qA8ZHWANSRgS7-RKG8RlH0R6LuvPcc1MQCLcB/s320/20160419_104422.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
as you can see I had some failures. They were very hard to keep warm in the centre as they were so thin.<br />
<br />
I even had a go at making a octopus tentacle - which sadly again broke :-(<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2PDbB2qUdZA/VxYPqEo9EnI/AAAAAAAAFlY/E4i6pw4tuAgTHYT6yPc8deKB4pLyrH5CwCLcB/s1600/20160419_104512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2PDbB2qUdZA/VxYPqEo9EnI/AAAAAAAAFlY/E4i6pw4tuAgTHYT6yPc8deKB4pLyrH5CwCLcB/s320/20160419_104512.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Then I remembered as a child I went to a Sealife Centre with my family whilst on holiday. I remembered being fascinated by a round fish tank in which the fish swam constantly round and round in the same direction.<br />
<br />
So I started Googling shoals of fish<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7YNRUj9xpPc/VxYP3MxqS8I/AAAAAAAAFlc/1S_Fh6ls6aUufF60xG5lH_lPSESWAx-QwCLcB/s1600/fish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7YNRUj9xpPc/VxYP3MxqS8I/AAAAAAAAFlc/1S_Fh6ls6aUufF60xG5lH_lPSESWAx-QwCLcB/s1600/fish.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
and came across the works of <a href="https://jodowns.com/">Jo Downs</a> in Devon. She makes the most amazing Shoaling Fish for wall displays.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A8ScWvn9Uzg/VxYD50emh-I/AAAAAAAAFkk/VvFrasYyOYoF5oMIGp3kSptuCIVmHMo8gCLcB/s1600/jo%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A8ScWvn9Uzg/VxYD50emh-I/AAAAAAAAFkk/VvFrasYyOYoF5oMIGp3kSptuCIVmHMo8gCLcB/s320/jo%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Hence another idea was born, a shoal of fish swimming around the neck.<br />
<br />
Now, I had no idea how I was going to create these fish. I knew I wanted them to have be sparkly, consistent in size and I knew they had to be made on a piece of wire so that they could be incorporated into a necklace, other than that - not a clue! So I started having a go at making some fish....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SH5XoAuoOIg/VxYHPV-ugWI/AAAAAAAAFkw/C7IiRxD3OBUWz0OPzUrPJ7q9t355qVM2QCLcB/s1600/20160419_111430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SH5XoAuoOIg/VxYHPV-ugWI/AAAAAAAAFkw/C7IiRxD3OBUWz0OPzUrPJ7q9t355qVM2QCLcB/s320/20160419_111430.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Aren't they hideous? How on earth was I going to get them to look alike? <br />
<br />
Then my glassy friend Monique Swinkels came over from The Netherlands for a visit. I met Monique at The Gathering in Houston 2 years ago and we've been friends ever since. I went over to visit her the year before last (blog post <a href="http://earth-shinedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/fact-finding-mission-sieraad-and-desire.html">here</a>) and back in November last year, she came to visit me. I took her on a tour of the Isle of Wight where I live and visited the glass studios and <a href="http://www.tregearpottery.co.uk/">Tregear Pottery</a>. I'd seen the works of Tregear before but had never been inside their studio which is in Niton. Because it was out of season we were the only visitors and we were very lucky to be treated to a tour. We were also shown their new laser cutter machine which they use to cut out paper to use in their designs. It was the same time as the Great British Pottery Throw Down was being shown on the BBC and they featured one of Tregear' Basins with a Whitebait motif created using these paper cuts.<br />

There it was again, that shoal of fish, something was telling me this was what I had to create so I asked Monique (as she has a lot more experience in flame working than me) if she had any ideas on how I could go about creating these fish. I especially wanted this elongated design. When we got back to my studio, she asked me to show how how I went about creating the fish. I showed her one - I must admit it was a bit of a disaster lol! Monique said I need to create the fish using some cane. ?????? I looked blankly at her - I had no idea what she meant.<br />
<br />
I knew that last year Monique went over to Richard Collinson's studio to learn how to make paperweights. Colin creates tiny flowers and fruit which are then encased with clear glass to create the paperweight. Have a look at this amazing video to see him at work<br />

<br />
Monique wasted no time in creating some gorgeous marbles like this Romantic Rose one.<br />

You can find this one and more for sale on her website<a href="http://www.moniqueswinkels.nl/"> http://www.moniqueswinkels.nl/</a><br />
<br />
She then showed me how to make a cane and added a sparkly bit of dichro to it. They she went on to make a fish. This is the fish she made.....<br />

<br />
Wow! I was blown away, I had no it could be done like this. I thanked Monique for showing me and when she went home I set about teaching myself what how to make the canes and fish. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really wanted them to be silver - like the fish are that shoal so I set about doing experimenting with white, silver, clear and grey glass and incorporated some sparkly silver mica flakes and silver foil.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You can see my first attempts at fish aren't brilliant but they are a lot better than the previous ones I had made. In terms of how pretty the necklace would look with the fish in silver I wasn't happy, I didn't think they would show up enough against the skin, so I decided to try them in turquoise shades. Then I decided that having them all the same colour didn't work either as they all blended into each other, so I added blues and greens to the mix. This worked better. I had to experiment with different layers of transparent and opaque glass to get the shades I wanted.<br />

<br />
I had trouble with the canes exploding when I put them back in the flame. Luckily I have a Bead Cube kiln which sits right next to me on the bench so I put the cane back in the kiln in between each fish. I also put the fish in the kiln by attaching a punty whilst I made the headpin with a small blob (yes, that is a technical term!) of glass so that I could stick the fish onto it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
To create the base of the necklace I had some 5mm black rubber tube and had in my mind that I would use. Poke a hole in with a pin and then glue the wire in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pdVyh67d-lk/VxYz_pVCo_I/AAAAAAAAFmA/N1T2GT21_mAFJ4r5I0CVPvYGrsgaB62NACLcB/s1600/20151129_084125-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pdVyh67d-lk/VxYz_pVCo_I/AAAAAAAAFmA/N1T2GT21_mAFJ4r5I0CVPvYGrsgaB62NACLcB/s320/20151129_084125-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It was hard to get the holes in the right place and get the fish at the heights I wanted so I abandoned this idea and used the same method as I used on my two previous pieces 'Circle of Fire' and 'Snow Queen'. This involves wrapping the wire with florists tape - the same way as a headpiece or tiara would be constructed. This gives me more adjustment.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I experimented with using wrapping hand dyed recycled sari silk around the base to get the look of seaweed but I didn't like the look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs17tGW63gU/VxY0op91GyI/AAAAAAAAFmI/kqA0FQyLCAcWMya7BlKXw1-XX34xRTdJQCLcB/s1600/20151228_094005-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs17tGW63gU/VxY0op91GyI/AAAAAAAAFmI/kqA0FQyLCAcWMya7BlKXw1-XX34xRTdJQCLcB/s320/20151228_094005-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My husband suggested adding some seaweed - he doesn't always come up with the best ideas but I made some anyway just to see what it looked like, but I didn't end up using it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3e9_us5v69w/VxY0-WToCXI/AAAAAAAAFmM/7MAo5ear5YMsJNrjiWjIvKoL7I_-I2kfwCLcB/s1600/20160419_111828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3e9_us5v69w/VxY0-WToCXI/AAAAAAAAFmM/7MAo5ear5YMsJNrjiWjIvKoL7I_-I2kfwCLcB/s320/20160419_111828.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Eventually after making many many fish, I had enough to finish the necklace. It fastens with a magnetic clasp.<br />
<br />
I asked Steve Thearle to come round to my house and photograph the necklace, here is a shot of him taking one of the photos. He used some bathroom weighing scales for the dark base as he couldn't find his perspex - it worked! It amazed me that he could take such a fantastic photo with such a simple set-up.<br />

<br />
The competition entries had to be in by the end of February, I worked on the piece off and on over the 3 months. Then it was an agonising wait until April - no showing the photos or the necklace (except to a few close friends and family) as it has to stay anonymous until the competition has taken place.<br />
<br />
The entries were
judged by the visiting glass artists who were teaching and demonstrating
at Flame Off - the annual convention of glass beadmakers and
flameworkers held at Uttoxeter Racecourse last weekend and also by the
attendees.<br />
<br />
I am proud to say that my necklace won the Jewellery Category and was voted people's choice.<br />

<br />
I almost wish this had been the challenge for December as the stars would have been a great theme for then.<br />
<br />
I started out by having a go at making some star headpins, something I had never tried before<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K3E8TISlmj4/VqYNe1fn3YI/AAAAAAAAFh0/SBTthy9mgIw/s1600/stars%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K3E8TISlmj4/VqYNe1fn3YI/AAAAAAAAFh0/SBTthy9mgIw/s320/stars%2B1.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<br />
These were my first attempts. I had in my mind a simple pair of earrings with the stars as dangles. Then I pulled out a selection of beads and chain in shades of blue and gold<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K9JqR5ufUQs/VqYPidJ5VfI/AAAAAAAAFiI/ledy5WyaLzY/s1600/20160123_114958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K9JqR5ufUQs/VqYPidJ5VfI/AAAAAAAAFiI/ledy5WyaLzY/s400/20160123_114958.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wEuqfyIhraA/VqYPcQHKPNI/AAAAAAAAFiA/z7pMXgpBNUE/s1600/IMG_20160122_122343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wEuqfyIhraA/VqYPcQHKPNI/AAAAAAAAFiA/z7pMXgpBNUE/s400/IMG_20160122_122343.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
The focal bead I had in mind to use was one I got in a bead swap with my lampwork friend<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jelvehdesigns"> Jelveh Jafarian</a>. (It's the one of the bottom left). Jelveh makes the most beautiful beads with lovely scrollwork which she calls her Zentagle series.<br />
<br />
So off to a good start then wham - I became ill. Cough and sore throat, then Laryngitis and sinus infection. I was beginning to think I wouldn't be able to complete this challenge but I started to feel a little better a couple of days ago and managed to do a couple of hours on the torch and made these.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T5x56sgnqiE/VqZXO5ODXRI/AAAAAAAAFiY/MnjuzY73LY8/s1600/886303_951000714968440_1368868584790727202_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T5x56sgnqiE/VqZXO5ODXRI/AAAAAAAAFiY/MnjuzY73LY8/s320/886303_951000714968440_1368868584790727202_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I got better as I went along and then made this pair which I am so pleased with.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TD8B3qUR3Lc/VqZXPYSzmWI/AAAAAAAAFic/DVN92BoywGk/s1600/12622042_951000388301806_8544610143749602560_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TD8B3qUR3Lc/VqZXPYSzmWI/AAAAAAAAFic/DVN92BoywGk/s320/12622042_951000388301806_8544610143749602560_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
They are made with a silver rich glass from Double Helix called Helios and have a gorgeous golden pinky sheen to them.<br />
<br />
I also had quite a few pieces of short wire left from another project and I had in my head to make some dangles to go with Jelveh's bead.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CEyl0y88PC0/VqZZVjaiM1I/AAAAAAAAFis/Jq6IaJsR_lM/s1600/20160124_104635-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CEyl0y88PC0/VqZZVjaiM1I/AAAAAAAAFis/Jq6IaJsR_lM/s320/20160124_104635-1.jpg" width="159" /></a></div>

On to the jewellery. Here are the earrings I made with the yellow stars<br />

The earwires were made by Lucy Haslam of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Faerystones">Faerystones</a> and the chain came from <a href="http://smittenbeads.co.uk/">Smitten Beads</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is the necklace: <br />

I decided to keep it fairly simple in the end. I used the focal bead by Jelveh and added my headpins as dangles underneath.<br />

<br />
I selected freshwater pearls and chain (<a href="http://smittenbeads.co.uk/">Smitten Beads</a>), rondelle crystals (<a href="https://www.totallybeads.co.uk/">Totally Beads</a>), and some of my own lampwork glass beads. To create the clasp I used a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/211353618/twisted-sisters-hand-crafted-copper?ref=shop_home_active_13">Twisted Sister</a> (Faerystones) wrapped with peanuts (<a href="http://smittenbeads.co.uk/">Smitten Beads</a>) and a lobster clasp.<br />

You can read all about the challenge and the inspiration behind in by clicking the link above.<br />
<br />
When I saw this inspirational picture with the spirals posted by Lesley<br />

I knew exactly what I was going to make.<br />
<br />
This challenge couldn't have come at a better time for me, too many grey
days and not enough sun is enough to make anyone down, so with bright
oranges in mind for a bright sun it was bound to give me a lift. <br />
<br />
I made these headpins using a glass called Apricot Yellow, one of my absolute favourites. I love the way that the glass has a different tone where it has been stamped.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rd_H0mwTMIk/VmHBMGv7dEI/AAAAAAAAFfI/MAqO-KlpHLU/s1600/12291248_926304977438014_4543778543506654836_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rd_H0mwTMIk/VmHBMGv7dEI/AAAAAAAAFfI/MAqO-KlpHLU/s320/12291248_926304977438014_4543778543506654836_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I used this spiral stamp from <a href="http://www.abrimagery.com/store/product_info.php/brass-spiral-textured-stamp-p-95883?osCsid=f8f2d5b70d61af981c073bdc5904c4f4">ABR Imagery</a> to create the texture in the centre of the headpin and then placed dots on the outside and manipulated them in the flame to makes the rays of the sun. The first ones were a bit ropey but I got much better as I went on, managing to get the rays to all go the same way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M58PDZuz9fQ/VmHFWm7CChI/AAAAAAAAFfg/WEokG_-6N4A/s1600/spiral%2Bstamp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M58PDZuz9fQ/VmHFWm7CChI/AAAAAAAAFfg/WEokG_-6N4A/s200/spiral%2Bstamp.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
I knew I wanted 5 to make a necklace plus a few extra to put for sale in my Etsy store.<br />
<br />
When I set about designing a piece of jewellery I like to pull out all the beads and ribbon in my stash that I think will go with what I am making. Now I have to say that although I love orange as you can see I don't have that many orange beads in my stash.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-azeKviFR2ZM/VmHEJC15VRI/AAAAAAAAFfU/pBz1_qgIM2w/s1600/12310015_926310847437427_4807028871091867047_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-azeKviFR2ZM/VmHEJC15VRI/AAAAAAAAFfU/pBz1_qgIM2w/s400/12310015_926310847437427_4807028871091867047_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I didn't want to make the necklace too fussy as I felt the headpins had enough detail in them as it is so I had a little play and narrowed it down to some seed beads (from a charity shop find), some of those yummy matt crystals (from <a href="https://www.totallybeads.co.uk/">Totally Beads</a> I had a look on their site but can't see them any more) and some hand dye chiffon ribbon (purchased from Ebay a while ago).<br />
<br />
I wrapped the chiffon ribbon around some 2mm elastic cord and finished the ends with some ribbon crimps. I threaded some of the seed beads and a crystal onto the headpin and then because I didn't want the headpins to move around the necklace, I wire wrapped them in place at intervals.<br />

<br />
Now of course a necklace like this needs a special clasp to finish it off, so back to the torch I went and made one of my daisy toggle clasps with a twist.<br />

<br />Linda - Earthshine.co.ukhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04398902335499682563noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394347878641885760.post-63452995136507957422015-12-10T11:29:00.004+00:002015-12-10T11:44:52.230+00:00ABS December Monthly Challenge The theme for the challenge over on the <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/paris-by-maria-helena-vieira-da-silva.html">Art Bead Scene Blog</a> this month is based on a painting by Maria Helena Vieira da Silva called Paris.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-81nrpxXDqlc/VmlYIY87MPI/AAAAAAAAFgA/t8PyDmX_u7M/s1600/Paris%2Bmaria%2Bda%2Bsilva.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-81nrpxXDqlc/VmlYIY87MPI/AAAAAAAAFgA/t8PyDmX_u7M/s1600/Paris%2Bmaria%2Bda%2Bsilva.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
I was immediately drawn to the tiny boxes which I presume to be windows and the strong lines of the painting.<br />
<br />
I set about making lots of headpins that were squares and rectangles. I used wire that darkened in the kiln to resemble the steel grey of some of the lines in the painting.<br />
<br />
First I chose black. Whilst I realise there isn't a lot of black in the painting it was the first colour that struck me so I started with that.<br />
<br />
I also wanted a strong geometric toggle clasp to go with the piece. I was so pleased with this piece. Not made in the flame as I don't have a square mandrel or press but fused in the kiln, cold worked and then fire polished.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wqXrg1iSq44/VmlYz41VG2I/AAAAAAAAFgI/uj2UDLKw7bc/s1600/12304113_927576930644152_2196813036733718597_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wqXrg1iSq44/VmlYz41VG2I/AAAAAAAAFgI/uj2UDLKw7bc/s320/12304113_927576930644152_2196813036733718597_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
With the second lot of headpins (and there were many more than shown here) I chose the blues, grey's and white with a touch of yellow that are prevalent in the painting. Again, I created a matching square toggle clasp and etched all the components to go with the muted colours of the painting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uwNpWH8CAEc/VmlY0QmoC4I/AAAAAAAAFgM/Dh5OJB5eoKY/s1600/12310102_928427340559111_3262694592953826078_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uwNpWH8CAEc/VmlY0QmoC4I/AAAAAAAAFgM/Dh5OJB5eoKY/s320/12310102_928427340559111_3262694592953826078_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Here are the finished necklaces together with a close-up of the toggle clasp I created. <br />

It's a place where people can create style collections/outfits and buy the items featured. Some are simple like the one below and some of them are really creative. It's a different way to shop for fashion.<br />
<br />
Now I am the first to admit that I am not a fashion follower but I do like to look nice, I also make and sell my own jewellery and was trying to think of ways to promote this among the fashion world. Then I received a marketing email from Polyvore a few days ago. Co-incidence or serendipity? I don't know.<br />
<br />
I tried to create my own but there must be some secret that I haven't found out about yet as the basic tool seemed a bit limited to me, also I think you can only choose items that they have for sale so I couldn't include my jewellery. I will have to do some further investigation.<br />
<br />
Anyway I was looking for outfit's that I felt would look nice with my jewellery. I thought my autumn necklaces, <a href="http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/product/falling-leaves-handmade-artisan-necklace">Falling Leaves</a> and <a href="http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/product/fern-leaf-handmade-artisan-necklace">Fern Leaf Necklace</a><br />

I hope you enjoy the tutorial. <br />
<br />
Back on September 2nd I was reading Pearl Blays blog 'The Beading Gem'. The post was all about <a href="http://www.beadinggem.com/2015/09/how-to-make-thread-wrapped-thick-cord.html">how to make thread wrapped thick cord or rope jewellery </a>at the time I wasn't making jewellery but when I saw these cute tasseled bangles I was hit with some inspiration to make some sari silk ones.<br />
<br />

I even did a blog post about it <a href="http://earth-shinedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/my-poor-neglected-blog.html">http://earth-shinedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/my-poor-neglected-blog.html</a><br />
<br />
The furthest I got was to buy some cheap bangles from a charity shop, these were a bargain at 25p each<br />

and there they sat until Saturday when I had a look at the Etsy Trends for October email. I must admit, I very rarely look at these things but for some reason this time I did and I was inspired by this picture of Boho Fabrics and it reminded me of the sari silk bangles that I had the desire to make.<br />

I also bought this funky pair of boots at the same time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I've got a load of hand-dyed sari silk, chiffon ribbon and yarn that I've bought. Some were a job lot from Ebay and then rest is from <a href="http://smittenbeads.co.uk/products.php?cat=427">Smitten Beads</a>, they have a lovely selection of colours and I use this a lot in my work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qcHOCZps65s/VjXr9W3FmSI/AAAAAAAAFV4/lPOpwV8I1h4/s1600/sari%2Bsilk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qcHOCZps65s/VjXr9W3FmSI/AAAAAAAAFV4/lPOpwV8I1h4/s400/sari%2Bsilk.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Aren't the colours just yummy scrummy!<br />
<br />
I took one of the wooden bangles and attached some hand dyed chiffon and attached one end with my glue gun<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-unaUSOIaYTg/VjXxtWnS6iI/AAAAAAAAFXQ/EyDD9O32NuA/s1600/20151031_144744-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-unaUSOIaYTg/VjXxtWnS6iI/AAAAAAAAFXQ/EyDD9O32NuA/s320/20151031_144744-1.jpg" width="284" /></a></div>
Then I wound it round and round until the ribbon was overlapped.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nj0vblacvZU/VjXwO-MjydI/AAAAAAAAFWc/0-zxuZnUhZM/s1600/20151031_145133-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nj0vblacvZU/VjXwO-MjydI/AAAAAAAAFWc/0-zxuZnUhZM/s320/20151031_145133-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
and then I glued that end down with the glue gun too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MsDUkyvcFVw/VjXwUFdj2mI/AAAAAAAAFWk/b4cdQWhsv54/s1600/20151031_145529-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MsDUkyvcFVw/VjXwUFdj2mI/AAAAAAAAFWk/b4cdQWhsv54/s320/20151031_145529-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The glue from the glue gun does show a bit but I don't think it matters that much because it will be covered with beads. I might in future sew on the end instead of gluing it.<br />
<br />
Next I selected some small beads in shades of pink and lilac from my box. I like to buy jewellery from charity shops and break it up so I have lots of strands of small beads.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hFJIKYK9Uq0/VjXwlA3ul_I/AAAAAAAAFXA/zMuJuMFBu8k/s1600/20151031_152449.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hFJIKYK9Uq0/VjXwlA3ul_I/AAAAAAAAFXA/zMuJuMFBu8k/s320/20151031_152449.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I keep my beads in these boxes, similar colours in each box.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P7lOXKEr2Wg/VjXwaF3FiUI/AAAAAAAAFWs/4_3kzPFFCv8/s1600/20151031_150631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P7lOXKEr2Wg/VjXwaF3FiUI/AAAAAAAAFWs/4_3kzPFFCv8/s320/20151031_150631.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
I took some antique brass coloured thin wireand threaded on some of the beads in a random fashion. I wasn't sure how many I would need and soon got bored doing this so I cut off a length of wire - not enough it turns out and folded over 1 end so that the beads wouldn't fall off. <br />
<br />
I wrapped the wire around a couple of times to fix it and then threading 5 beads so that they laid onto the front of the bangle wrapped them on. Then I did a plain wire wrap and so on.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qTTkWElKcuc/VjYNio6_EdI/AAAAAAAAFX0/OJ7Vj7pWTfA/s1600/20151031_151039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qTTkWElKcuc/VjYNio6_EdI/AAAAAAAAFX0/OJ7Vj7pWTfA/s320/20151031_151039.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
As I said I ran out of wire, so I re-joined some more and then continued. I actually found it easier to thread the beads on as I went. Without taking it apart I have no idea how much wire it took but it was quite a lot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nQzGjEAT49U/VjYOD2AJtYI/AAAAAAAAFX8/bLySHKm5MxQ/s1600/20151031_152229.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nQzGjEAT49U/VjYOD2AJtYI/AAAAAAAAFX8/bLySHKm5MxQ/s320/20151031_152229.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
To fix the wire, I threaded it though the existing wire several times on the inside of the bracelet so it wouldn't show.<br />
<br />
Then I made some disc headpins like these<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VIg2-qosilE/Vl7Huzvl_NI/AAAAAAAAFcc/tPHKf0yIOPw/s1600/20151202_102221-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VIg2-qosilE/Vl7Huzvl_NI/AAAAAAAAFcc/tPHKf0yIOPw/s320/20151202_102221-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
and then wrapped them around the bangle. I bent the wire flat, wrapped it around the bangle once and then around the head of the pin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zxln34YAqoo/Vl7H9HxVNUI/AAAAAAAAFck/9PezLQn9nH0/s1600/20151202_102313.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zxln34YAqoo/Vl7H9HxVNUI/AAAAAAAAFck/9PezLQn9nH0/s320/20151202_102313.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For my next bangle I chose some more chiffon ribbon and a necklace from a charity shop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mudl5MOn0_E/Vl7JgkSJBxI/AAAAAAAAFc4/2cLcU0MBvsA/s1600/sari%2Bsilk%2Bbangle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mudl5MOn0_E/Vl7JgkSJBxI/AAAAAAAAFc4/2cLcU0MBvsA/s400/sari%2Bsilk%2Bbangle.jpg" width="277" /></a></div>
<br />
I wrapped the ribbon round as before and then took some strands of the necklace and wrapped them around the bangle. This time I sewed everything in place. I had some bellflower headpins left from another project and used them in the same way as the disc headpins. This is the finished piece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RUievZaSRKs/Vl7KM2W9NYI/AAAAAAAAFdA/uZmxNOOiKz4/s1600/20151202_102336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RUievZaSRKs/Vl7KM2W9NYI/AAAAAAAAFdA/uZmxNOOiKz4/s320/20151202_102336.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
For the 3rd one I repeated the steps but added a wrap of coloured yarn and then made a tassel with the ends. I used some more bellflowers and made some dangles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs8CJc7jruQ/Vl7Lvoch2kI/AAAAAAAAFdM/QL2clwKhSQw/s1600/20151202_104253-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs8CJc7jruQ/Vl7Lvoch2kI/AAAAAAAAFdM/QL2clwKhSQw/s320/20151202_104253-1.jpg" width="258" /></a></div>

You can read all about the first piece I created for this challenge here: <a href="http://earth-shinedesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/art-bead-scene-november-challenge.html">http://earth-shinedesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/art-bead-scene-november-challenge.html</a><br />
<br />
You may remember I was a bit stumped by the first two designs I tried, well I went back to the drawing board and had another go.<br />
<br />
I had made these glass leaf headpins using various shades of amber glass. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There's just a hint of veining which I achieved using a pair of leaf mashers I purchased from <a href="http://www.devardiglass.com/supplies.htm">Devardi Glass .com</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I wanted the leaves to lay nicely so came up with the idea of threading seed beads onto the wire and cutting the wire different lengths. I then threaded them onto Fireline with seed beads spacing them out. I continued with the seed beads and added some Czech glass crystals to complete the necklace.<br />

First off I had this <a href="http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/product/fern-leaf-handmade-artisan-necklace">fern leaf necklace</a> that I had made for last years <a href="http://earth-shinedesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/bead-soup-blog-party-2014-reveal.html">Bead Soup Blog Party</a> which couldn't have been a better match for this painting. The antique copper focal made by Sam Waghorn has the ferns depicted in the painting and the copper colour is a perfect match.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSUwnkZN2EU/VkUCb5Kff-I/AAAAAAAAFas/uQ1BMX6Jwo8/s1600/fern%2Bleaf%2Bnecklace%2B%25285%2Bof%2B5%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZSUwnkZN2EU/VkUCb5Kff-I/AAAAAAAAFas/uQ1BMX6Jwo8/s400/fern%2Bleaf%2Bnecklace%2B%25285%2Bof%2B5%2529.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>
But.... that would be cheating. This is a challenge and so I needed to make something new.<br />
<br />
I had this leaf beautiful ceramic leaf pendant made by
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Bohulleybeads">Bo Hulley Beads</a>. I selected some matching beads and sari silk but no
inspiration came to me. I wanted to create something in a different style to my
usual designs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_8rA4nPO3Bk/Vkhwkn0dNzI/AAAAAAAAFa8/tRi50mX_rVc/s1600/20151115_110957-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_8rA4nPO3Bk/Vkhwkn0dNzI/AAAAAAAAFa8/tRi50mX_rVc/s400/20151115_110957-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I made a lot of glass leaf headpins in shades of amber, and wire
wrapped them, I had in my mind a necklace full of cascading leaves but again I
couldn't get it to work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pi1vJcnHWqY/VkhwnpOtm9I/AAAAAAAAFbI/DX9lb90hu50/s1600/20151115_110215-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pi1vJcnHWqY/VkhwnpOtm9I/AAAAAAAAFbI/DX9lb90hu50/s400/20151115_110215-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I think the main problem was I had run out of antique brass chain which I wanted to use in both designs so I will return to these when I have restocked.<br />
<br />
Then I pulled out this necklace that I had made way back in 2011 when I
first started making jewellery. I liked the design but it stretched quite
easily and I never did anything with it, then I had this inspiration to add
some amber leaf headpins to give it some structure. I set about making some
headpins but I didn't make them on the end of a piece of wire as I didn't want
it to show. I made the leaves off mandrel and then attached the wire afterwards
using a blob of glass, this way the wire is hidden under the leaf.<br />

<br />
Rebecca Anderson of <a href="http://songbeads.blogspot.co.uk/">Songbead</a> (who makes the most fabulous jewellery) writes a regular post called <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/amuse-muse-handmade-findings-with.html">Amuse the Muse</a> where she chooses beads and components that inspire her and hopefully the readers.<br />
<br />
Monday's post was all about handmade findings. Rebecca found this lovely bracelet by Kate Floate of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FloatingVintageDesigns/timeline">Floating Vintage Designs</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kate used one of my yellow daisy toggle clasps and paired it with a lovely dotty bead from Sally Sutherland of Soul Silver. Keeping the theme of the bracelet as purple and yellow with lots of Czech glass paired with antique brass - A lovely combination.<br /><br />The other of my items to be shown was this toggle clasp still available for sale in my Etsy store along with a few other colour combinations. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Earthshinebeads?section_id=15340689&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1">Toggle clasps</a><br />

<br />This particular toggle clasp makes a lovely focal for a bracelet. I have a similar one I made here<br />

Although I already had a good camera, I wanted to be able to shoot my photos in RAW. Without getting too complicated, RAW photographs can be adjusted without losing any of the quality, which is a big bonus when taking imaged of my work.<br />
<br />
One of the types of images I like best is depth of field. This is when the foreground is in focus but the background is out of focus which can be very handy. My Canon has a handy setting for this so I don't have to worry about changing the aperture settings and forgetting what they were before!<br /><br />I was looking for a way to take some photos of the recent Raven Wing Headpins that I made and had the idea of them coming out of the edge of a book - so I did and here it is, a bit of photographic art for you.<br />

Now I don't usually bother reading these but with my renewed interest in making jewellery I decided to have a browse to see if there was any inspiration.<br />
<br />
I saw this collection of photos for fashion trends and it reminded me of the Raven challenge I had just completed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2jZjNVZEaw/VjX6m4eFRPI/AAAAAAAAFXc/CK3wFIWUT8g/s1600/fashion%2Btrend.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2jZjNVZEaw/VjX6m4eFRPI/AAAAAAAAFXc/CK3wFIWUT8g/s320/fashion%2Btrend.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So I was inspired to make a treasury with Raven inspired items and of course included some of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Earthshinebeads/search?search_query=raven+wing+headpins&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search">Raven Wing Headpins</a>.<br />

I made them using Metallic Black glass, this is a challenging glass to use and can produce a fantastic metallic iridescent sheen to it but very hard to control so each headpin has a slightly different finish to it.<br />
<br />
I then went on to make this necklace.<br />

I used 2 of the Raven Wing headpins I made and wire wrapped them to this metallic black ring that I had made some time ago. I also made a Raven's tail and added this to the bottom of the ring. I thread black ribbon through some chain because it reminded me of the silky coat of the birds.<br />
<br />
I have to admit I don't like the necklace very much, maybe because it is definitely something I wouldn't wear. I would have like to have re-made it but unfortunately I ran out of time to have another go. What do you think, do you like it?<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is an example of one of her fabulous necklaces: Rose Garden Collar which she makes to order.<br />

Back in March she was so happy to announce that she had been accepted to write a book. An introduction to stringing and wirework. Here is her blog post about it: <a href="http://lynndavybeadwork.co.uk/?p=540">http://lynndavybeadwork.co.uk/?p=540</a><br />
<br />
I contacted Lynn and asked if there was anything I could do to contribute to the book and we agreed that I would send her this toggle clasp.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Well, the months went by and we didn't hear much from Lynn - she was busy beavering away on her book. Can you imagine all the hard work that must have gone on to make this book happen? She blogged about what she had been up to: <a href="http://lynndavybeadwork.co.uk/?p=557">http://lynndavybeadwork.co.uk/?p=557</a><br /><br />Finally it is available for pre-order on Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Learn-Make-Bead-Jewellery-Fabulous/dp/1782213392">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Learn-Make-Bead-Jewellery-Fabulous/dp/1782213392</a> it won't be available to buy in December but the publishers let Lynn have a copy - doesn't she look happy?<br />

Yesterday I posted about how I had decided not to make jewellery any more but that I missed it. I had some inspiration to do the <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/october-monthly-challenge.html">October Monthly Challenge</a> over on the Art Bead Scene Blog. I've also done some experimenting with different layout and backgrounds after reading a fab blog post the other day that I can't find now - sorry. I found some cheap tatty books in a charity shop to play with.<br />
<br />
Here is the necklace I made 'Midnight Wing'. I hope you like it.<br />

Which background do you like best?<br />
<br />
I selected some Czech glass, ceramic beads, peanuts, yummy freshwater pearls, sari silk, Vintaj brass and chain all from <a href="http://smittenbeads.co.uk/">Smitten Beads</a> (my go to place for beads and findings). I used the headpin and ring bead that I made the other day and also layer up a vintaj brass flower with one of my lampwork daisies that I had in my stash and a little bead cap to complete the look. The sari silk was woven through the chain, I love this look and used to use it a lot in my designs.<br />
<br />
It's now available for sale in my webstore: <a href="http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/product/midnight-wing-handmade-artisan-necklace">http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/product/midnight-wing-handmade-artisan-necklace</a><br />
I also made a pair of earrings. I had this pair of gold wings that I thought were perfect for the theme. I painted them with orange and green patina and then teamed them together with a pair of my own lampwork beads. Finished off with a pair of Czech glass beads wire wrapped onto brass earwires.<br />

It's a lot easier to photograph and sell beads than it is to sell jewellery.<br />
<br />
I sell a few bits and pieces in a local gallery and last year I did the local shows. I didn't do too badly but I wouldn't call it a rip-roaring success. I can't say I haven't sold well online because although I have a few bits and pieces for sale on my <a href="http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/">Website</a> and in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Earthshinebeads?section_id=13196747&ref=shopsection_leftnav_6">Etsy</a> store I haven't really spent the time pushing it which I really should as I have lots of jewellery sitting around doing nothing (apart from being worn by me occasionally!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It also means I have to have a fairly large inventory of jewellery supplies to draw from. So a few months ago I decided I wasn't going to make jewellery any more other than my statement necklaces for competitions. I do eventually want to have a range of jewellery to sell that is 'mine' to sell in high end galleries but I am not ready for that yet.<br />
<br />
BUT I MISS IT!<br />
<br />
A couple of times I have pulled out a few bits and pieces and then thought, no this is taking up too much time get back on that torch! and I've put it aside again. Then a few days ago I was reading the Art Bead Scene Blog about the <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/october-monthly-challenge.html">October Monthly Challenge</a>. I can't say I was inspired to immediately go to my jewellery table and start making something for it but when I was torching I made a couple of pieces that reminded me of the challenge picture.<br />
<br />
This is the picture, it's Ma'at from the Tomb of Queen Nerfertari.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4AR4nXNEa2s/ViYmkEeBBFI/AAAAAAAAFOs/uSBpXNHk6sM/s1600/Ma%2527at.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4AR4nXNEa2s/ViYmkEeBBFI/AAAAAAAAFOs/uSBpXNHk6sM/s320/Ma%2527at.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
and these are the two pieces that I created<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0aNkdWOvriI/ViYqHuntYzI/AAAAAAAAFO0/Blyi4FiVmMU/s1600/IMG_3839.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0aNkdWOvriI/ViYqHuntYzI/AAAAAAAAFO0/Blyi4FiVmMU/s320/IMG_3839.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Does the headpin remind you of a wing? It does me.<br />
<br />
Last night I couldn't resist going into my stash and pulling out these pieces<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qDQFNYu8BhA/ViYqxlW0fII/AAAAAAAAFO8/N0m7DhulAZg/s1600/20151020_115404.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qDQFNYu8BhA/ViYqxlW0fII/AAAAAAAAFO8/N0m7DhulAZg/s400/20151020_115404.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
I selected these pieces from memory, I didn't have the picture in front of me. Now I look at the picture again I see that there is a more yellow and also a touch grey in the wings and some terracotta too as you can see in these colour palettes picked out by Heather Powers. <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/october-challenge-color-palettes.html">http://artbeadscene.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/october-challenge-color-palettes.html</a><br />

<br />
This is how I start making a piece of jewellery. I pull pieces from my stash, look at them for a while and then take some pieces away until I get the look I am after and then I start assembling the piece.<br />
<br />
Having gone back to my stash after looking at the picture again I have pulled out some other colours. I printed out the picture for reference and the grey actually looks a bit green in my printout. I have some pieces in that shade which inspire me and also the terracotta colours so I may come up with a few different designs or I may decide I shouldn't be doing this and put it all away again. Watch this space to see what happens.<br />

One of them is this one <a href="http://lorelei1141.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/my-poor-little-neglected-blog.html">http://lorelei1141.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/my-poor-little-neglected-blog.html</a> in which she tells us about lack of time and how her blog has been neglected. This reminded me that I hadn't posted in an age and when I checked I couldn't believe it was as far back as April! In fact I think I abandoned my last series of blog posts midway.<br /><br />The truth of the matter is that I am having trouble sitting for long periods of time and so I have to pick and choose what I do and making beads and putting them up for sale takes priority and so my little blog has been poorly neglected. I also confess that I am never sure if my hard work posting is actually read by anyone as I very rarely get any comments - but then to be fair I hardly ever comment on the post's I read either so who can say. Perhaps we should all take time to acknowledge the work that people put into sharing the information that they do on their blogs.<br />
<br />
Anyway it's 6am in the morning and I have been awake since 3.15am and up since 4.30am as I couldn't sleep. I'm going through early menopause and suffering with the dreaded hot flushes which wake me regularly during the night. So rather than lie awake for several hours as I did last night I decided to make good use of the time and so here I am on the computer. Luckily for me I don't have to go out to a day job so if I feel tired later I can always have a nap!<br /><br />Back to my favorite blogs. One of them is Beading Gem from Pearl Blay. I was lucky enough to actually be featured in one of Pearls posts with my Jelly Bracelet Tutorial <a href="http://www.beadinggem.com/2013/01/lampwork-bead-jelly-bracelet-tutorial.html">http://www.beadinggem.com/2013/01/lampwork-bead-jelly-bracelet-tutorial.html</a> way back in January 2013.<br />
<br />
I love Beading Gem because she shares such a wide range of jewellery making tips and tutorials and I have been inspired by yesterdays posting about Thread wrapped thick cord or rope jewellery <a href="http://www.beadinggem.com/2015/09/how-to-make-thread-wrapped-thick-cord.html">http://www.beadinggem.com/2015/09/how-to-make-thread-wrapped-thick-cord.html</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0RiSeFnf4WM/VefXvHo_uZI/AAAAAAAAFNM/7IGuT7zjEhI/s1600/paracord%2Bthread%2Btribal%2Bnecklace%2Btutorial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0RiSeFnf4WM/VefXvHo_uZI/AAAAAAAAFNM/7IGuT7zjEhI/s320/paracord%2Bthread%2Btribal%2Bnecklace%2Btutorial.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
In the post she mentions using wire coils instead of hardwear beads and this got me thinking, especially when I saw this next link about these thread wrapped necklaces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jSR4bhXLgOg/VefYyvDZ8EI/AAAAAAAAFNY/dNmtYlWkUqo/s1600/thick%2Bcord%2Bthread%2Bwrapped%2Bnecklace%2Btutorial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jSR4bhXLgOg/VefYyvDZ8EI/AAAAAAAAFNY/dNmtYlWkUqo/s320/thick%2Bcord%2Bthread%2Bwrapped%2Bnecklace%2Btutorial.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I'm always looking for ways to use my headpins in jewellery designs and I can just see then necklace on the left, made with coloured wire coils and my headpins hanging from them. Something like this<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_gpC2yYCOQs/VefaBGqlakI/AAAAAAAAFNk/BBppXH2LyVI/s1600/mock%2Bnecklace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_gpC2yYCOQs/VefaBGqlakI/AAAAAAAAFNk/BBppXH2LyVI/s320/mock%2Bnecklace.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>
Please excuse the rough drawing I'm not much of an artist but it gives you an idea right?<br />
<br />
Then I saw these gorgeous wrapped bangles from Mark Montano that Pearl mentions in the blog and thought wouldn't they be amazing wrapped in sari silk with coloured metal wire threaded with tiny seed beads and then some instead of the tassel's some of my dangly headpins? Something like these orphans <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/1058622317?">https://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/1058622317?</a><br />

<br />
It really makes me want to make some more jewellery but that is something else I have had to prioritise. I love making jewellery and have quite a big bead collection but apart from some jewellery I have for sale in a gallery which trickles out, I find it quite hard to sell and have boxes of it sitting around doing nothing. I should really take it out and sell it online and I do have some bits and pieces on my website <a href="http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/">http://www.earth-shine.co.uk/</a> but there are only so many hours in the day......<br /><br />You can find all the links to the tutorials to make these on Pearls Blog.<br />
<br />
Another blog that I love is Love my Art Jewellery and this post is all about a sheet metal bending brake, something I had never heard of. <a href="http://lovemyartjewelry.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/sheet-metal-bending-brake.html">http://lovemyartjewelry.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/sheet-metal-bending-brake.html</a><br />

Metal work is something I would like to explore more, I dabble a bit here and there and am hoping to take a course next year.<br />

This time the teacher is Sharon Peters. Sharon has been flameworking for 20 years and is known for her quirky sculptural beads, this display of her beads was one of the first things I saw when I arrived<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Now most of you know that I don't very often make sculptural beads and in fact when I started bead making I never had any desire to make them. The main reason I wanted to do this course was because Sharon has started using a medium called Epoxy Clay. You can imagine my disappointment when Sharon said that we weren't going to be doing it because the last group got into such a mess with it. Fortunately she changed her mind when I told how interested I was in it and as there were only 5 of us in the group (due to cancellations) it worked out ok.<br />
<br />
Each day was started with a novel idea called a Bead Toss. This was done to music, more specifically Beatles music. I didn't realise this but when The Beatles started making records they weren't very long - usually about 3 minutes, which was ideal for this purpose. The idea is each person makes a base bead to 2 songs. When those songs are finished Sharon shouts CHANGE and each person passes the bead they are working on to the person next to them. You then get the next song to do something to that bead and then change and so on until you get your original bead back. <br />
<br />
It was great fun and you never knew what you were going to get next. You didn't get very long to decide what you were going to do. It was very interesting to see the difference between the beads at the start of the class and the end of the class. Here is a snap of the ones I brought home, weird and wonderful, with lots of inspiration.<br />
<br />

Sharon then did some demonsrtations of various animals of which we had handouts with designs to use as inspiration. Here are Sharon's Beads<br />

One of the aims that Sharon wanted us to explore whilst we were there was improvisation. The bead on the right ended up being just that. We were supposed to make eyes using murrini cane, (as used in the Sharon's pig bead above) mine didn't quite come out as they should so I just went with the flow and this is what turned out. (Those of you who know how precise I like to be should know how I struggled to let go!)<br />

We also had a go at making a cabouchon which we were going to use with the Epoxy Clay later.<br />

A while ago now I started making some beads for Beads of Courage. I think I did a blog post about it at the time. Anyway I made some butterflies using a tutorial that someone recommended. I didn't realise at the time but the tutorial was written by Sharon.<br />

It wasn't all work although nearly! Sharon had us working very hard even in the evenings!<br />
<br />
I did manage to get a few minutes in the sun here and there and spotted this lovely fellow sunning on a lounger. <br />
<br />

<br />
So in the evening we had our first play with Epoxy Clay. I had come prepared with some headpins from home as I had a few ideas of how I wanted to use them.<br />
<br />
First up Sharon had a square bezel that I set the cabouchon cat in that I had made into with some seed beads.<br />
<br />

<br />
The I made a little vase of flowers with a vase I made and some of my headpins<br />
<br />

<br />
and a couple of brooches<br />
<br />

<br />
Unfortunately 1 of my little leaves and my flower broke on the way back home :-(<br />
<br />
So today (Wednesday I think) I made a body to go with my cat's head<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next up we had a real challenge and a half! Sharon had given us a piece of paper with a list of names on it. We had to select one with our first name and so on. My turned out to be Booger Rhino Tushie. Then she selected 2 toys and told me I had to make a bead with Rhino Tushie, wearing a bikini and with a t-rex mouth?????<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These were the toys!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I set about doing some scribbles on a piece of paper thinking this was going to be a project over a couple of days only to find out that on top of that we only had 1 and a half hours to do it in!<br />
<br />
But I did manage it, so here is Rhino Tushie!<br />

I think I did quite well don't you?<br />
<br />
Then I had a go at another cabouchon, this time a cow.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Wednesday night we went to drum circle which I had visited before. It was a bit busier this time as there was no rain forecast.<br />
