I have to admit, I have sooo many techniques on my list to try, but have not yet had time to do so...working with poly clay, glass fusing and beadmaking, metal shaping and patinas...seems the possibilities are endless. Right now I am loving working with different textures, metal, stamping, fabrics, etc. <br /> <br />One last thing, I would love to purchase a tutorial from you, Shannon, on how to make the folded leaves, if that is something you would be interested in preparing!Creations by Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829476832253663821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-66760357578019174182011-08-22T21:44:44.526-04:002011-08-22T21:44:44.526-04:00i find my creative journey constantly evolving and...i find my creative journey constantly evolving and detouring, but my current obsessions are resin, alcohol inks and gilders paste- i just want to slather them on everything.

This week I experimented a little with waxed cotton cord--but I was frustrated because 1. the 1 mm cord wouldn't fit through most of the holes in my beads and 2. the end of the cord kept unraveling, making the end "mushy" instead of nice and stiff for easy threading. :( I must be doing something wrong.<br /><br />btw, I'm listing a new pair of earrings in my shop today that have your hoops paired with some matte lampwork beads.Linda Landighttp://www.lindasbeadblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-68775593776174519512011-08-21T11:00:45.598-04:002011-08-21T11:00:45.598-04:00I love everything you make.

More recently, I'm being inspired by metal patinas to create a new glaze palette. I'm really stoked and excited to explore this further!<br /><br />Another avenue... So far, I've been using mostly vintage illustrations fired onto my ceramic pieces but I do like to draw (I was a painting / drawing major back in the day, heh). I'm planning a series using my own sketches. I can't wait to see how this develops!<br /><br />So much to do, so little time...sigh,<br /><br />- Karen Totten <br />Starry Road StudioKaren Tottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511687726517324742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-61991387421765233852011-08-20T13:15:40.803-04:002011-08-20T13:15:40.803-04:00the leaves are awesome, Shannon!

It seems to work for any style. The other thing I use consistently in my designs is wire.
