If I don't post this weekend please forgive me as I have had 2 craft shows in a less than a week,
already posted twice this week (BLAH, blah, blah) and had several deadlines to meet.
One of which was the
Here is my "Tahitian Dreams" Necklace inspired by Gaugin's Painting: "Sacred Spring, Sweet Dreams".
Doesn't it just make you want to dance barefoot on a tropical island
and swing those hot colored beads around your head?
It is a very long but adjustable necklace.
32 inches around!!
Those tickly little fiber tassels land right on the collar bones
looking like whimsical little flowers, semi-lai-ish.
When I uploaded my pictures to Flickr I wrote wonderful long descriptions of my process. tags...
and guess what?
I forgot to click save (imbecil- me not you)
so they are magically gone.
I am a little miffed so I won't do it again today, maybe tomorrow, but not today.
Hate that!!!
Love this:
The good news,
I had one really long bead making day yesterday,
8 am to 12:30 am got up this morning and added the finishing touches
photographed before 10 am and uploaded to the Art Bead Scene Group on Flickr
with a few minutes to run to the store for creamer
before my friend Diane was arrived for a visit at 10:30.
(for rarely am I not the Queen of the Last Minute, Race to the Deadline Gal)
and this time I left some skin on my finger tips when I sanded and buffed my beads with my dremel. Last time, well I will spare the gore and say:
"I didn't know that sanding could remove that much skin"
and my husband said:
"Is that the Michael Jackson look you are trying out?"
(bandages and a couple weeks off from sanding and buffing- all is good)
Hope I made you laugh!
Shop and Save!!! ARTS and CRAFTS Spring Shows
right outside of Studio8ten on corner of S. Las Vegas Blvd and Gas Ave.
I can now proudly accept mastercard and visa and will be collecting sales tax for the state of Nevada.
Yes, I am officially in business!!!
What is First Friday?
A potpourri of local artists, musicians and vendors all celebrating life and art in our own
"Glitter City"
DIRECTIONS:
WALKERS- If you are concerned about walking over to Studio8ten from the Arts Factory area off Charleston watch for escorts. There are volunteers who will accompany you all the way to and from the Studio. PS They will have flyers with special discounts and free raffle tickets to entice you to come.
DRIVERS:
Actually you may want to start there as the parking behind the studio in the Law firm parking lot on 4th is free. If you take the 15 to Charleston heading east simply take a left on 4th, you will see a large law firm on the right a couple blocks down where the parking is free and the back door to the studio is right there. Tents will be set up in back and walk through the studio to see several vendors including moi in front.
There will be live music, raffles and children's art activities so you can shop without distractions.
Studio8ten is one location of the Transition Services Inc. non-profit organization that employs people with disabilities and you will be amazed at the products they make and sell too. It is well worth the trip.
If you attend First Friday and please do join the fun,
I will be passing out coupons with the code for 15% off
on online purchases from my two shops; Aquariart and Heatherp22 Shop.
Come by and get one - you will be glad you did because
it will be good for any purchases made online
the first two weeks of each month April, May and June 2011!!!
In addition I will offer 10% off anything you buy at First Fridays in April, May and June.
For my out of town Blogger friends-
you can use this code to receive the 15% off the first 2 weeks of each month; April, May and June: 1stFriday15

Girl, you nailed the March Challenge piece! Those colors are sweet! It does make you want to run around barefoot in the sand :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Michael Jackson rendition of "Sand It"! You made me laugh out loud and I still have a smile on my face!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Heather, you are so funny! Just Sand It! My son thinks he discovered Weird Al Yankovich. This could be a new rendition for him.
ReplyDeleteI just added your link to the blog hop. Thanks for participating! I love the way this necklace flows and the great color palette!
Enjoy the day!
