4 Marvelous Monday 8/13/12

Is it really Monday already?  Where did the weekend go??  Please come back, I missed you all together!?!?!  Oh well, it is time to start the 'last week of summer' for us.  Next week....kids will be back in school!  I am not sure if I am more happy or more sad... I think it will be 'minute by minute'!!  

In between all the craziness this weekend I did manage to start a new project... we'll see how it turns out.... here are the colors I picked...




Yes, yes, yes, it is teal... I thought I was done, but I guess I wasn't!  I have had this stone for some time and for one reason or another (probibly because it was teal) I felt drawn to it, so it is on my tray right now.... I didn't take a LOT of photos of the 'working' process, but I'll show you what I have later!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now many of you saw the big reveal, but because it was over the weekend I wanted to make sure that everyone got a chance to see it.... Here is the bead soup that I was sent:




and here is what I made with it:


So, please click on either of the photos and go see all the other photos and all the other people that were involved in the #beadsoupblogparty.

Oh boy, do I have a GREAT featured artist for you today - madamepomm !!!!  Now this artist  is just amazing!!  Taking a plain cup/mug and adding something that is just simply amazing!!! Can you imagine what it would be like to drink a cup of coffee while you are sharing it with a SNAKE?@?!  There are MANY animals and creatures to choose from and because they are all handmade they are all one-of-a-kind!  Please go visit this studio and remember to support handmade artist!

I'll leave you with this thought for today...

1 Fabulous Friday 9/10/11

It IS Friday and I am packed and ready to go!!  I have enjoyed this camp so very much!!!  I can not even begin to thank the staff and interns that have run this camp for all they have done!!  I am so very VERY impressed.  Not just with their program, but with the way they have really 'let the teens' go and discover their own classes, activities and outings.  With just some supervision and leadership this week was run - by the kids!!!

I am also so very thankful for the relaxing time I had.  I was able to rest - some - bead - some - and even read - some - in between all these wonderful moments!!  Who could ask for more!!!!  I will truly miss some of these kids and adults......our bond were new, but strong!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did list something new for today....it will be the last TEAL set I do for a while, I am not sure what/why the Teal color has gotten under my skin, but I think it is done now!  

Blue Colored Turquise and Copper Necklace Set

Now, for those of you who have been waiting patiently to see what I made with this Amazing Bead Soup from  Fire Phoenix Jewellery, make sure you watch tomorrow.... it is our BIG REVEAL day for the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party, so come back and see what I made with this......
 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh my goodness, just look I am featuring today - TomBanwell .  This amazing artist does things with leather that few can.  I just love his masks, but there is a WHOLE BUNCH more items - and something for everyone - in his studio.  Please visit ALL his links to get a real picture of what he does!  Remember to always, support handmade artists!!!

Today I will leave you with this quote - and for me..... I plan on doing it!!
