Necklace - Beaded Daisy Chain with Pendant [14 May 2008|11:48pm] keri80 [ mood | satisfied ] I really only knew what I wanted with the pendant when I made this necklace. I also wanted it to be really long at 25 inches. It is made with lavender seed beads, lavender glass beads, and green seed beads. I beaded it on my breaks from cleaning house so all in all it took about six hours. The pendant is made with glass flower caps and lavender beads, with long seed beads to give it texture. It reminds me of some of the oceanic flora but I haven't named it yet. The entire necklace with pendant The clasp and a close up of the beaded flowers. 3 comments|post comment

Sickly [12 May 2008|01:29pm] tabbyfoo I've caught a cold. And it's extremely unwelcome. I just finally got over the deafness and congestion of the last one, and now I've got coughing, stuffy/runny nose and that not-quite-sore-but-tender throat, and I'm a little hoarse. So here's my dilemma: I have students today, tomorrow and Wednesday. Of these students, 5 of them are going to state on Saturday. State is the biggest competition of the year, and last year I had a student get sick and be unable to sing at the festival, after paying over a hundred dollars to enter and for the accompanist. I'm not too sick to get up and go to work, but I'm worried about exposing these singers to this annoying head cold and cough. So what should I do?

Bracelet - First Attempt [08 May 2008|11:32pm] keri80 [ mood | accomplished ] I like the overall look but the blue beads looked more purple when I picked them out. So, I'll be ripping it apart and doing it over. I have one more in lavender, mauve, and green that I need to complete first. Still, I think I like it.
