I'm just about finished collborating with a computer guy to release a bead crochet graphing program, "Bead Crochet Element Designer". http://beadline.blogspot.com/2008/04/designing-bead-crochet-elements.html<BR/>It's what I wanted five years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-58244340536149267352008-05-09T00:13:00.000-04:002008-05-09T00:13:00.000-04:00I recently took one of the first items that I had ...I recently took one of the first items that I had made, a bracelet with goddess charms, and turned the charms into an updated necklace.Shai Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625514249141386180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-55778165200368248982008-05-04T18:34:00.000-04:002008-05-04T18:34:00.000-04:00Mary,Thanks for stopping by!

After a couple of sales, I had quite a few left that I just knew didn't sell because of the less than spectacular glaze. So I took the hangers off, slathered on some more glaze and refired them. Most came out looking amazing, which of course I could never repeat, but it sure gave those guys a second life!Carlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052412384877288768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-17643970858526775192008-05-04T13:41:00.000-04:002008-05-04T13:41:00.000-04:00Tari,Needless to say, I am thrilled that I won the...Tari,<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I am thrilled that I won the drawing for the Earthenwood Pendant.

Maybe that's a bad thing that I don't have any real attachment to anything I make, that I can just take it all apart at any moment!?<BR/>I just revived some excellent lampwork beads that I had gotten... from a bracelet into a necklace with a beautiful Heather Wynn pendant!Lorelei Eurtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330882921799083271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-67305848264289143402008-05-04T08:20:00.000-04:002008-05-04T08:20:00.000-04:00Studio Saturdays are great!

I use all kinds of beads in my work, art beads, gemstones, crystals, silver and more. But after repairing a 1920's tiny seed bead necklace for a customer(had been her grandmother's), I fell back in love with my seed beads. They are so useful~beaded beads, added texture & strands, colourful & more.

I do not like to give up on a piece or a bead so reinventing is an important concept for me. I think one of my most successful reinventions was what I call Silver Raku. I had several pendants that were fully glazed but didn't seem quite exciting enough and happened to be using some metal clay in a syringe and there was a bit left. I didn't want to waste the metal clay so I took and smeared some of the it on the glazed pendants and raku fired them. Somehow in the kiln those silver particles got very active and covered some of the pendants completely in silver and left traces on others. What a nice surprise. <BR/>I always enjoy Studio Saturday and enjoy the " sneak peek" into your creative process.Mary Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04107181280006153915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-68819111445995515022008-05-03T22:14:00.000-04:002008-05-03T22:14:00.000-04:00So what item(s) have you reinvented?So what item(s) have you reinvented?Tari of ClayButtons.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111595673439759980noreply@blogger.com
