ABSTEAM

"The Artisan Beaders Street Team is a collection of artisan bead and jewelry designers. Our focus is on quality handmade pieces of wearable art, and each member works hard to create high quality pieces."

The Blog Go check out all the members, I think there is currently 20 people. Every Tuesday there is a tip posted on something to do with jewellery making... Well worth checking!

I've only been a member for about 3 months and don't know most of them by name.. But I found these blogs about me this week... the first one was in the Maaaaaa of Pricilla.. Pricilla is actually a goat, but with the coaching of her publicist & owner ( I don't think she relises that she is owned) Patty, from Broken TeePee Designs she has become a very literary goat! She is also the proud mother of Kevin (Aren't baby goats cute?) Patty does make lovely jewellery. I think this piece would look very nice around my neck!

Then I found "A taste of sunshine" in Deronda Designs blog .... A bright Yellow focal bead.. that would certainly brighten up any cloudy day! Deronda is another lampwork artist....

Then moving right along.... I found a blog on April 1 in Brenda's Jewellery box from that title you probably know that she makes jewellery. This piece is called Sunset in the Vineyard!




And Last but certainly not least I found this blog post this morning with two of my favorite beads in it! Thanks to Kristy of Simply Shiny . It's the blog post for April 9, but you have to watch the U tube video clip she put up this morning! I just love these hair sticks in her shop... Maybe she'd like to trade??? But then would they stay in my hair?

Time to blow my own horn!

This necklace was designed for the Art Bead Scene January challenge. The January challenge was to design a piece of jewellery using the painting Irises by Vincent Van Gogh.... The necklace on the left was my entry. I was picked as designer of the week this week! Here's the blog!


I also have just joined a couple more street teams on etsy... One is the Artisan Beaders Group, one of my favorite beads is one of their feature friday picks, and last but certainly not least one of their members featured me in her blog Simply Shiny .

I'm still having fun making jellyfish beads this is my latest... I was trying to make something vaguely heart shaped and ended up with a perfect (in my opinion!) skull. So in keeping with the skull theme ... It's called Guardian of Blackbeard's Treasure. And will show up on etsy in the next couple of days! Can't you see the eyes nose and teeth ....
