A big thank you to Krafty Max for allowing me to be interviewed for her blog. She has choosen me for the featured Etsy Bead Weaver member. The blog will be posted for the next 2 weeks. Please stop in and read the interview as well as take a peak at her creations. You can find the link to the interview at her main page, KraftyMax.Blogspot.com.


On another note, I finally got to my big project that was mentioned a few blogs past. I may only have a few rows in, but it is progress!
Also in the works are a few custom order browband covers for a horse bridle. I hope you stop in to see the completed beadwork.
Enjoy your weekend!

Pens, Pens, and more Pens!

I've been working on beaded pens all week. Several special orders at one time have kept me busy. Playing with all the possible color combos is one of the best (an most time consuming) parts of the job. I think I spend more time choosing colors then beading. A refillable pen kit designed for woodworking is used for the base. I have one style to choose from now, but have plans for others.
Now that most of my special orders are done, I am one step closer to working on my large project I mentioned last month. I have the loom warped and the correct color of weft thread is here. Once I find my desk, I am ready to go! (I am too ashamed to post a picture of that mess.)
Enjoy your weekend!
