She is Back!

I am so excited to have her back. I created a doll for the Land of Odds "Celestial Reflections" Beaded Art Doll Competition, her name is Azure. I sent them my precious doll and they sent her back a winner! She took 2nd place and I am so pleased to place amongst some other fantastic doll artists.
You can see her here-- http://www.landofodds.com/store/alldolledup2007contest.htm
Be sure to look at all the other artists dolls too, many of them have become my newest cyber friends, and if you are a beader look up the next competition too. I would love to see your work.

Now to show you my latest doll. She was created as part of the BAD Arsenic and Old Lace challenge. Her name is Hermana Del Sol and she doubles as the next peice for the Son of Man "series". She resembles the fire that rested on the disciples when they were filled with the Holy Spirit.


I am growing more and more attached to the color orange as these peices grow. I would love for you to feel her hair, it has such a neat texture! I will share more of my smaller beaded peices with you in my future posts. I have had a great time being able to share these little snippits of my life with you through my blog.

"My peace I give you."

Beginning again.

Image
I feel as if I am beginning again. However, I have so many things in place from when I really first began this creative journey. I am beginning again, but I am not starting from scratch. The trials of the past have given me perseverance I had not idea I possessed. I am still recovering from a major life change but I am allowing my life to become better and trying very hard to not become bitter... I am finding that I am not having to try so hard at it lately. I have hope. I have a new vision. I have wisdom to stop and pray. I have Grace. I have Mercy. And most of all, I have love. I have the love of so many sweet supporters and friends and family. People who constantly encourage me and remind me of why I create. Why I love to teach people. Why I get out of bed each morning. I have a commitment to stop and spend time with God and meditate each day with him on the creative process he has called me to. I had forgotten what peace and joy there is in that little bubble of medit

Thank You

Image
I want to thank everyone for your kind comments on "Effy' whether here or by email. I also want to thank everyone who has been encouraging me to pursue the many facets of beading as an art and a business. Who would have thought one thing could be so fulfilling in so many different facets. The result of having such encouraging friends is the developement of my very first pattern and kit. Beaded Cogs SteamPunk Style And there are four colorways. I have a limited number of kits right now but after I teach my first class I will be able to put together more. If you want more information you can leave a comment with your email and I will get back to you.

Doll Journey: Focus

Image
 After trying to work on the arms a few times, I did not like what I saw. It was not the right texture and  I realized that the mixes needed to be refined a little. I can do that, and I can find the right texture too. But  I decided that I just need to focus on what is really driving this doll, the flames. The idea is to stitch the shaped memory wire onto the fabric, bead it then cut around the edges. After all of that is done I may decide to paint the backside instead of beading it. Then I will attach it to the doll--and shoot myself in the foot for adding another element that will make beading the rest of the doll a nightmare. Maybe not...I don't have a really good track record for taking the easy way out...so maybe. Here is a small mock up that set me to stitching. I learned how to do this (only she does it much better!) from  Susan Elliot . I am not even going to pretend that I know exactly how she did it, but I am making my attempt at doing it my own way and I am sure it will
