2 What's New Wednesday 7/16/14 (Class Creations, Kick Starters and Spinning Ginny)

What a day I had yesterday!!  I was able to bead most of the day, do laundry in between and even watch the storm!  And, what a storm it was!! Thunder, lightening and LOTS of rain!!!  But then, like most storms in Florida, it was gone!!  And just in time for my student to make it over and for us to start class! 

This is what we made last night at class!!  Aren't they wonderful???  I will get the one on the left (mine) listed later today - if everything goes the way I want it to!! 

Have you started watching this one grow?  Come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page, I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

If you haven't see it already, I am trying to Grow Krafty Max Originals, so I have started a Kickstarter campaign.  Please 'share' or pass it along if you can. 

Yesterday I introduced you to Ms. Virgina Accurso is the owner, designer and creator of Spinning Ginny.  And today, I would like to tell you a little more about her!

I have followed her for some time now, and I have to say that I love the way she shows her working photos off.  Many of you don't know what it takes to get the beautiful look of hand spun fiber.  Every step of the way there is a process and dedication that comes only from the love of an artist.  You really should watch her creation grow from raw fiber to a finished creation!!

Right now she sells on Etsy, on her own website, farmers markets and even the summer solstice festival!! I am sure you'll be impressed when you look!!  She is still looking into getting published and entering her creations in some competitions. 

Here are just a couple more of her creations.....remember to check out all her pages!!

2 Talented Tuesday 7/15/14 (Rose Beautiful Lariat, Kickstarter and Spinning Ginny)

Yesterday I beaded, beaded and BEADED until late in the evening!  And boy, what fun I had!!  I was able to finish the set I was working on, do a mini photo shoot and get it ready for listing (now done)!  I also picked out the colors for my next creation and......yes..... finished the laundry!!  I am not sure were that burst of energy has come from, but I'll TAKE it!!  Do you ever get like that?  Everything just falls into place and goes smoothly?  It so rarely happens that I often have to really take advantage when it does! ;)

Here it is!!!  BEAUTIFUL!  This one just shows how creative that stitch can be!  I just love the way this lariat set has turned out!! Click on the photo to see the finished earrings and bracelet!!

Of course, finishing that set means I get to start another one!!! WHOO HOOO! So I picked something with just TWO colors!!   I am not sure if I would have picked these two colors together if they weren't in the same stone, but they are and they work, don't you think? Come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page, I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

If you haven't see it already, I am trying to Grow Krafty Max Originals, so I have started a Kickstarter campaign.  Please 'share' or pass it along if you can. 

Today I am honored to show off a new featured artist today.  Ms. Virgina Accurso is the owner, designer and creator of Spinning Ginny.  Over the years I have watched as she has created some of the most beautiful creations that start with her own hand spun and dyed fiber.  She works with every type of wool, as well as, Alpaca, Silk and Cashmere. 

Once she has taken the raw fiber, carded it, spun it, dyed it, she then makes something with it!!  Scarves, Triangle Shawls, hand knitted socks, scarves, hats and dish cloths are just a few of the beautiful creations she finishes with!!

Starting, like many of us, as a child of 8 she fell in love with knitting.  Then back in 1998 she started weaving and spinning.  Starting out as a hobby and creating gifts for family and friends she quickly found that her creations would sell!! In 2003 she decided to turn her hobby into a full time business. 

Just look at some of these creations.....beautiful!!!  Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you more about her and show off MORE of her creations!!  Don't forget to check out all her sites, too.
