4 HIS GLORY CREATIONS BY CJ

2012-02-11T12:39:00.000-08:00

I just love when I sell one of my pieces to someone who is so appreciative of my work. I get a big hug for getting it right!!! That makes it all worth wild. This is one of two pieces sold. The second one was commissioned, and didn't take me three months to accomplish. Yeah!!! And thankfully I was able to translate her ideas into a necklace that was exactly what she was wanting. That makes for a wonderful feeling of ahhhhh! I have so much to do now. And trying to wind up doing my taxes. It's all gooooooood!

New Goals for 2012

2011-12-08T04:40:00.000-08:00

I have been so blessed over the past five years, to have an amazing group of students. They come every week without fail and we experiment with lots of different techniques, use all kinds of mediums. And just have a good ole' time.
Coming in 2012, I feel I want to offer more. And we are talking about putting a Beading Guild together.
Is there anyone of you out there in the Beading community that can give me some thoughts about this? I have so much on my mind, and so much I want to offer. I'm ready for my students to take everything they've learned from me and expand it, so they can also be instructors, they can get involved in show casing their work and get into the show venue if that's the direction they wish to go. We also want to see new faces, bring in people that have been buying beads for years and still haven't put them to use. We want to be a positive influence in our community, taking a portion of our proceeds to give to the local non-profits.
Would love to hear from my Bead Friends, your comments and or suggestions. Thanks, CJ

Second Challenge of Color Blog Hop
Erin Prais Hintz organizer
The color I chose was teal.
Pallet created by Jessica Colaluca of Design seeds.

http://www.designseeds.com/

Decided to use only the first three colors in my pallet, mainly because I couldn't seem to match the darker blue. As a seed bead freak, I naturally created my piece using two colors of teal seed beads, and the ivory colored pearls.

I also love Dragonflies, they have such a unique look to them, they move so swiftly, and some have beautiful colors that reflect from their wings.

This piece includes my very own hand made polymer clay beads. I've been having a blast with my students. We've been playing with polymer the last three weeks.

Capturing the moon on a starlit night, when the sky is a deep dark blue. This is something I really love.

Adrian Women in Business Expo
Spent the day at Adrian mall with a great group of people sharing their wears and businesses.
My day started out to seem like it could be a disaster, as I locked my keys into my van, along with
the majority of my jewelry. My husband was at work so he could not help me out. Lock smith was not answering
and still has not called me back. Thankfully not everything was loaded, and a very kind gentlemen offered to give me a ride to the mall. It turned out to be a very nice day after all.

Bead Soup Blog Party

2011-08-01T20:37:00.000-07:00

Bead Soup is loads of fun. You get to exchange a Bead Soup mix that you created for a fellow beader that will soon become your new bead friend. This person could be across the world from you. But who cares as long as the love of beads are involved. You send at least one focal, an unusual clasp, and a mixture of complementary beads so your partner can design something beautiful. Then September 17, the reveal happens. You get to see all the amazing creations from beaders all over the world. If you don't have a blog, don't be scared, it's an easy set up, and you'll be able to join in. Hope to meet you at the Bead Soup Party.

2011-07-17T19:10:00.000-07:00

This is so much fun!

2011-04-13T05:30:00.000-07:00

Love Bling, and this cuff screams bling!!!

Center button is captured by peyote stitch using

silver lined crystal seed beads, a mixture of Czech fire polished

beads, crystal sequence, and silver lined bugle beads, all bead

embroidered on black leather like material.

I could just jump for joy or make the biggest splash ever!!!Made a very awesome purchase yesterday, I bought a kiln.

one with a lot of versatility, so I can start creating fused glass or do silver metal clay. and it also has a bead door, so I can make glass beads as well. oh the possibilities!!!!

I Love Freeform Peyote!!!

2011-03-25T13:51:00.000-07:00

Every time I play around with freeform peyote I get so enthralled with the endless possibilities. I love the splashes of color and the mixture of textures and the array of different kinds of beads that find there way into a piece. Here's two new bracelets.

What is it, when you tell someone the answer is no, that they just will not let it go. Every possible reason is now why they need the answer to change in their favor. The Answer is still NO!

Pay It Forward - Leave A Comment, Get A Goodie!

I'm taking part in a great idea in blog world called Pay It Forward 2011. I read about it on Bobbie's blog, http://www.beadsong.blogspot.com/, and now I'm lucky enough to get to continue the fun here.

So here's the idea: be one of the first five people to leave a comment on this post, and I'll send you something made by my own busy hands. Fun!

Then you share the idea of Pay It Forward on your blog, and promise to send the first five people who make a comment on your post a handmade goodie that you've created. More fun!

You don't have to send something the very next day, but to play fair, you do need to send something as soon as you can. It's not the size of the item that's important -- it's that it comes from you and carries a bit of your creative spirit on to five people somewhere across the world.

It's the spirit of sharing a good thing by paying it forward. And seriously, who couldn't use a little extra joy and beauty brightening their world?

One act of random creativity can have a great ripple effect. I did a happy dance when I found out I had been one of the first five to respond to Deci - come on and join the dance!

So leave a post!
I look forward to sharing the fun with you!

2011-03-12T02:50:00.000-08:00

The memories of days gone by, when life was less complicated, the sun was shining and I was a whole lot younger. Carefree, no worries.

This is how it all started!!!!

2011-02-26T00:03:00.000-08:00

Ta ta ta taaaaaaa

I have to thank Jennifer Pride my partner for the lovely bead soup she sent to me.

What fun I had thinking of unique ways to put it all together. This I call:

Captured

Ceramic donut caged in dark copper wire with a copper bead cap in the center. Wire wrapped in sections with large hole pony beads, round ceramic beads, large wooden beads are caged in copper wire with copper bead cap ends. Seed bead mix stitched using nedebele, to add a non symmetrical look to the design. From my own stash I added dark bronze glass beads that are wire wrapped separately. And the finishing touch a square copper toggle.

2011-02-03T10:07:00.000-08:00

There is no mountain to big that a mustard seed of faith can't move. When we get news from the Doctor that he wishes to do more tests. It brings a little disturbance to the mind. We can think of everything possible that could be wrong. Instead of having faith that everything is just fine.

2011-01-27T20:57:00.000-08:00

Received my beautiful bead soup, thanks Jennifer! Now the fun begins, as I imagine all the possibilities!? Stay tuned for what becomes of this bead soup mix.

Still Working

2011-01-23T20:59:00.000-08:00

All I can think about is chocolate, as I prepare for the Chocopalooza Festival here in Adrian, Michigan. I keep finding all sorts of brown colors, and making luscious mixes to create from. I broke down tonight and indulged in a Mallow cup. I was good though, saved one for my Honey. Put it in his lunch box for tomorrow.

Along the way, a few broken needles, just hate that!

Having a Play Day

Having a play day, since the kids are home and have nothing to do. They can do the dishes and run a load of laundry or two, me I get to play with my beads. The creative juices are flowing wild, and I just don't want to stop. Well, maybe just long enough to throw together a meal. Those boys just can't go one day without a meal. Imagine that. They are so deprived. Oh well, it's the least I can do since they've been so good to leave me to my obsession.

This morning started with my boys waking me to let me know there would be a two hour delay, then they woke me again to let me know that school was canceled. Yea! But no rain, nor ice, nor sleet, or snow can keep my students from showing up to class. Which is so wonderful, as I would be out of sorts if I had to miss out on the fun we have in our Tuesday classes.
My boys offered to set up a table in their igloo, but didn't think that was to warm of and idea! LOL

In a very creative mood this evening, made three bracelets just playing around. Trying to think chocolate, as I'm hoping to get into the Chocolapoluza show in Adrian in February. Getting all my brown beads out. Pictures will be coming soon.

Teaching in Tecumseh

Teaching in Tecumseh this evening, seems like it's been such a long time since I've had the pleasure of being in such awesome company. I teach classes at The Bead Box, located on Chicago Blvd. in Tecumseh, Michigan. What a lovely store, with so many different items to choose from. Lot's of one of a kind beads. Many treasures to be discovered. With lot's of new classes on the schedule. I will be posting classes soon, with complete scheduled times and cost. Look for those coming soon.

I love teaching beading classes, it's always a new and exciting challenge/adventure. Today we made beaded and wire crocheted necklaces. Love how each individual person has their own personal style, and how each piece is a work of art. No two pieces are a like in any way. What a fun time. It's so nice to laugh, relax and enjoy each other.

I love pearls, all kinds of pearls, all colors too. This bracelet is already gone. Made it one night and it was sold the next day. Seems like what used to be quite an inventory is way low. New year, new designs. I really have to get myself focused, and beading.

Playing around with wire crochet, it is so much fun. One of those fast and easy projects.
Been sick since I came home from New Mexico. So I finally felt up to playing this evening.
I really enjoy creating. It calms me, and keeps me sane.
