It's a 2x4mm cup-shaped glass bead featuring a single hole. The dome shape of this petite bead embraces other beads, including seed beads and other small components in bead woven and strung designs.

This 2mm round bead has a hole that extends halfway through the center to accommodate wire ends, cords, fibers, and more. Finial beads are ideal for creating custom dangles for wireworking and even color-coordinated head pins. Simply use your favorite quick-drying super glue gel, two-part epoxy, or slow-curing industrial adhesive to secure a Finial bead to the end of your wire or use it to cap the end of an eye pin after you add your beads. The width of the half-drilled hole is compatible with 20-24 gauge wire and eye pins, and also works great with memory wire. Wireworkers who create ornate bezels, wire frames, and other jewelry can say goodbye to hiding the ends of their wire. Crafters who use braiding and weaving techniques, such as kumihimo or macramé, can adhere Finial beads to the ends of cords and threads for a professional and polished look. Begin using cord ends as a decorative element in your designs! The Finial half-drilled 2mm rounds are now available in over 30 colors. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Scroll down to see …. </span></span></span></div>

Spiky Button® is the fancy sister of Button Bead®, produced in Czech Republic. The same shape and size in the bottom part gives you the opportunity to use it just as the button bead. You can style up your design with this easy to attach spike shaped bead.</span></span></div>

Grooved Tile Beads are approximately 6x6.3mm, 3.5mm thick. They have a groove on the top and the bottom of the bead. Groovy Beads will work great with many of the other 2-hole beads and seed beads and you can use them in almost any jewelry pattern you would use regular tile beads in. I am dubious if this is a new bead or if it is another name for the Silky Valle bead (although it, the Groovy Bead is smaller). Maybe you know?</span></div>

It is the Mini Silky bead, these cuties are 1mm smaller than the original Silky (which makes them 5x5mm). </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">DiamonDuo™</span> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">are now available in 4 new Glow-in-the-Dark colors.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> This Version I have decided to put the previous Versions at the bottom of the Blog; that way you're not scrolling past old news to get to the bead images. Each new version where I add beads, you'll see a <span style="color: magenta;">NEW</span> next to the caption .. that way you'll understand what's been added to the blog in the way of new beads.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>V12.3.1 </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I discovered a new bead that has no name in particular other than Czech Flat Waved Square Chip Washer. Certainly a mouthful of name. Available only in 10x4mm, with 44 fabulous colors; the frosted colors are particularly nice as they mimic soft sea glass tones. These are not new beads, but they're new to me the 4CEED beads, 4 hole beads; not dissimilar to CzechMates Quad beads, however these are chunky and more organic in nature. New bead finds include a mini size 4mm es-o bead, a 2-hole Infinity mini bead, the Czech Cali® 3-hole bead, the cute Gekko bead and an info update on the CoCo bead. I discovered by chance that there is a third 'Pinch" bead size. It is referred to as a 'Baby Pinch' bead it is 3x4mm. I spotted these on the Bead Master Pinterest board .. 'Pinched Outline SuperDuo' and 'Smooth Outline SuperDuo's'. The Pinched Outline SuperDuo has more of a snug fit than the original SuperDuo's and the Smooth Outline SuperDuo's are just that, smooth.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">PRECIOSA ORNELA released the PRECIOSA Cornelian Star late 2016. The PRECIOSA Cornelian Star is a new type of rocaille containing a combination of glass types. A cornelian is a rocaille with a round hole, an intermediate layer of white chalk with a rounded edge and a lining of transparent glass in the colors of purple, black, blue, green, turquoise, yellow, orange and red. The PRECIOSA Cornelian Star is a new type of cornelian which includes an intermediate layer in the shape of a six-pointed star. The points of the white core filter through the colored transparent lining and its shadows give the impression of fine stripes.The PRECIOSA Cornelian Star can be manufactured in the size range from 8º to 34. An interesting shadowing effect is created on the surface of the larger sizes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I discovered another bead in today's wanderings .. it is not new.. but it is new to me. It is called a variety of names the NIBLET, NIBBLETs, BABY PILLOW BEAD, bead. They are manufactured in the Czech Republic, size 5x3mm (2mm thick). They come in lots of colors.</span><br />
<div style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One more shout out .. I did not want to get into colors and finishes of the beads .. but today ... I came across a Czech glass finish called Tweedy Finish (I could not deny its inclusion it is such a cute name and wonderful finish). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You may all now be familiar with the French designed, Czech manufactured Kheops® Par Puca 2-holed triangle beads, Arcos® Par Puca 3-holed crescent shaped beads; and the Minos® Par Puca barrel-shaped 1-hole beads. Now there is the IOS® bead designed to work with the Arcos® and Minos® beads. These beads have 2 holes (the distance between holes is about 2.5mm) Their upper sides are rectangular with curved angles. The curved sides of the IOS® beads, allow them to fit perfectly with the Arcos® curved shape. The IOS® Par Puca bead resembles the CzechMates™Brick bead but is much much smaller. These beads are available in many colors, including matte, metallic and opaque finishes. I'm in love with them ..💖</span></div>

I was aware of their existence but did not know when they would be released to the market. These 2-hole hexagonal beads are related to the original Honeycombs (Beadsmith), but feature a faceted jewel-like top.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">MIYUKI offer a large range of seed beads ranging in sizes</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">; as does TOHO. MIYUKI named their round seed beads rocailles and their small tube/cylinder like beads Delica®. <span style="color: #666666;">TOHO named their equivalent tube/cylinder like beads TOHO Treasures® TOHO have another line of tube/cylinder like beads called Aiko (named after the wife of the TOHO beads founder). Aiko beads are precision cut beads and as such are more expensive than the Treasures® and are not so readily found online or in stores</span>. <span style="color: #666666;">Aiko beads are available in both smooth and cut styles but are only available in size 11º; there are 100's of colors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">MIYUKI have an equivalent, but smaller sized bead called a </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Delica®</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> precision cut 15º (DBS). See the example Pic 01 from the MIYUKI website that demonstrates what can be achieved with the precision, smaller beads.</span><br />

Battle of the Beadsmith 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Battle of the Beadsmith 2014 was not the smooth design ride that the inaugural BOTB12 was for me. I knew without hesitation what I needed to do for that contest. Arabesque Armour reached the Top 5 which was an incredible achievement owing to the level of talent within the group. BOTB14, not so easy, not so easy at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My initial inspiration for the BOTB14 was an infinity knot as a focal, I had no clue other than that! I did know I wanted the clasp to be bead embroidered. I achieved the infinity knot that was in my minds eye .. but once I started arranging the jewels and adding embellishment to the knot .. it began to look less and less of a battle worthy design. It got shelved. Below are three of the many design shuffles.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">New plan.... </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I knew what the colorway was going to be .. turquoise and peridot softened with creamy pearls. Textually I had to include my new love Shibori silk ribbon. I wanted the design to be beadwoven with the inclusion of bead embroidery. After many trials I was able to create a bezel using CRAW for all of my navette shapped stones. It was nice and tight and gave me a good surface for embellishment. I wanted to use rose gold as my metallic highlight. I bought a few hundred rose gold bicones from my local bead store .. I added them to the design. Then I noticed that the rose gold coating was breaking off in tiny flakes on the bicones, leaving ugly black flea bites in their place. I knew the problem would only get worse and this would compromise my design. 5 hours later every single bicone was removed from my design. Will I use 4mm rose gold bicones again ..um no.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst I was working on the main part of the neckpiece I was also working on the bead embroidered clasp. This is the only part of the design that I knew for certain from the beginning of the project. The Shibori ribbon was supplied by (Lisa Kan) and the Arashi ribbon (Deborah Weaver). I used Czech size 15 seed beads to outline my floral design. The clasp joins the neckpiece via snaps attached to the underside of the motif. These attach with the other half of the snaps to the Shibori ribbon straps.</div>

After six weeks of expediting elements from the US, lots of worrying, lots of sketching of my thoughts, undoing and redoing parts of the design... it was finished. I had booked my model and photograhphy session even before completing the design. This gave me an absolute deadline and allowed the photographer time to edit the photos and allow for any reshoots. </div>

<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">6 out of 6!</span></strong></div>
<br />
All 6 books that have my work included within their pages have now been published! It took almost three years of waiting for all 6 to be published. The Beaders Guide to Designing Jewelry by Margie Deeb is my number 6 addition. <br />
<br />
I have an honoured, proud, giddy and a <em>'still can't believe it sort of feeling'</em> about the publications.<br />

Back in late 2011 I submitted two submissions to the call from Lark Books for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Showcase-500-Beaded-Jewelry-Contemporary/dp/1454703164/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1401840012&sr=1-1&keywords=showcase+500+beaded+jewelry" target="_blank">'Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry'</a>. To my delight and shock they were both curated in. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42121564@N04/8173990346/in/photolist-dsiQy3-canLtL-9LKQr3-dcYjj8-bnjj6r-bnjj7K" target="_blank">Melbournian</a> (neckpiece) and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42121564@N04/6804786979/in/photolist-bnjj6r-9V2Bwn-bnjj7K" target="_blank">Magic Carpet Ride Cuff</a> were published!<br />
<br />
Then there was another call from Lark Books, but this time for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Showcase-500-Art-Necklaces/dp/1454703520/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1401838550&sr=1-1&keywords=showcase+500+art+necklaces" target="_blank">'Showcase 500 Art Necklaces'</a>. I submitted a single submission, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42121564@N04/8011705500/in/photolist-dcY5Vs-f9HX1K" target="_blank">Arabesque Armour</a>. She was accepted! <br />
<br />
Arabesque Armour is my most acclaimed piece of beadwork. She was created for the inaugural Battle of the Beadsmith 2012 of which she reached the dizzy heights of Top 5. She was then selected to be featured as part of an article along with other selected beadworks from the Battle in the German beading magazine 'Perlen Poesie'. I entered Arabesque Armour along with 'The Jewelled Net of Indra' into the 2013 Bead Dreams contest, both were Finalists. Finally, Arabesque Armour was selected to feature in the book 'Marcia DeCoster Presents'.<br />

I was an original battler when the inaugural Battle of the Beadsmith aka BOTB12 kicked off in 2012. Battling legend and front man Steven Weiss of The Beadsmith was the brains behind the contest. There were 80 original battlers (or if you like invited participants) and one winner. The uber talented Alla Maslennikova, won with her achingly beautiful design 'Baroque'..... My design Arabesque Armour made it to the Top 5.<br />
<br />
I withdrew from the Battle of the Beadsmith aka BOTB13 due to other beading commitments and general design fatigue following my Bead Dream design marathon. However I was still involved with the contest, but as a judge which was a difficult task in itself. Ann Braginsky was the winner for BOTB13 contest with her exceptional bead embroidered piece, 'Tenth Wave'. <br />
<br />
BOTB14 I am again a participant. I have been working on my design since April 1, which was the official start date of the Battle. There are 256 Battlers in this contest, so the contest has increased considerably. Participants from all over the world have come together to push their design selves and interact within a vibrant and friendly international beading community.<br />
<br />
Calmly I waited until April 1 then rummaged through my stash to get to the source of my inspiration for my Battle piece. Deflated I found it .. it was not what I had remembered it to be like. It was smaller and not as elegant. Damn. I began a lengthy internet search in the hope of acquiring a more dramatic 'piece' to use for Plan A. I discovered it in Germany, expedited shipping was 170 Euros plus the price of the 'piece' and I had not even ordered the beads yet. Plan A got shelved. <br />
<br />
I then began work on Plan B and tinkered with it for a few days. I soon discovered that it was not Battle worthy and put it to one side. I waited a few days giving my muse time to roll things around and commenced Plan C. I liked Plan C and how it was evolving and continued with the design for a couple of weeks. Soon my interest in Plan C was waning ... I put it down and returned to Plan B with renewed interest. Gathering more inspiration, sourcing new design elements and wandering around on Pinterest seeking images that would inspire my design pitch for that particular period in history. But. After a few days I returned to Plan C again this time with a completely new colour way. I was excited about it this time, very excited. I fiddled, then ordered more materials and was off again firmly with Plan C + a new colour way as my way forward. <br />
<br />
The main focal for Plan C morphed unexpectedly so Plan C + new colour way did a complete right turn, so I'm calling it Plan C.2. The motif that I completed that would have been used as part of the focal has been cast aside. I am currently planning and sketching a new focal to replace the said 'meh' focal. It is still at the <em>drawing on a sheet of paper</em> stage. Time will tell if it will be the actual focal used. <br />
<br />
With all of this flipping around with designs there as been a flurry of activity on various sites as I acquired the necessary materials to create what my muse ordered. Expedited shipping from the US to Australia has been called upon three times so far.<br />
<br />
I'm hopeful Plan C.2 will be my acutal piece to enter to the contest as I am running out of time for revisions and new Plans. The funny thing about this is the original Battle, BOTB12 I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I used every day available to me to build it. BOTB12 was quite an unremarkable process compared to my BOTB14. <br />
<br />
All we be revealed after June 8. <br />
<br />
Happy Beading.<br />

Four of my beadwork designs were selected and made their long journey to Milwaukee USA from Australia to be inside the Cabinet of Dreams. <br />
<br />
What cabinet is this I'm talking about you ask?? .. At the entrance to the Bead & Button show every year is a glass cabinet that contains the Finalists and winners of the Bead Dreams contest for that particular year. It is hallowed ground for beaders.<br />
<br />
This year I beaded a single design to enter the Bead Dreams 2014 contest with. Dearly hoping I could achieve 'Three in Three Years with my work being chosen to be either a Finalists or even a winner of this epic contest. <br />
<br />
Now I understand completely that there were no guarantees that my work would have even made the cut this year, but everyone can dream .. right .. This is the Bead Dream contest after all.<br />
<br />
Despite gruelling hours of beading right up to the last few hours before the contest closed I was unable to complete my design. I packed it away and sulked for a few days. <br />
<br />
I achieved Two in Two years and I am grateful and happy with that achievement. I will enter my 'as yet unfinished' design into the Bead Dreams 2015 contest. I have more than plenty of time to finish it graciously. <br />
<br />
I have many friends whose work has already been chosen as Finalists. Currently their work awaits final judging that will be announced around when the Bead & Button show kicks off. I wish all of them the very best of luck.<br />
<br />
Happy Beading my friends .. x<br />

</div>
<div class="col-right">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

2013 for me will be remembered as a year that was not particular eventful in terms of my beading.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike 2012 I was spectacularly silent in terms of beading. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok .. so having said that I was a finalist with both Arabesque Armour and The Jewelled Net of Indra at the 2013 Bead Dreams contest. Then my bead embroidered neck piece, 'Drama Queen' came 2nd in the British Bead Awards. I was delighted with those achievements.</div>

Marcia DeCoster's 2nd book <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Marcia-DeCosters-Motion-Jewelry-Beading/dp/1454703350/ref=la_B001TQ13JQ_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1388278271&sr=1-1#_" target="_blank">'Beads In Motion'</a> was published and included in the Gallery of this magnificent beading book is my design 'Hepzibah's Pendulum' neck piece (pg. 121). The neck piece includes an actual moving pendulum which required significant engineering for it to actually swing. I dearly thank Marcia for the opportunity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I withdrew from beading as far back as May and not because it was a conscious decision to step away but rather because other parts of my life required my attention. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Inspiration and my meddling muse however, did not stop. In fact my journal is full of scribblings and notes that were offered to me as suggestions for designs or thread path wanderings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I do hope I can produce some really good work in 2014. Happy New Year everyone x</div>

<br />
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/boards/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> was launched March, 2010, but oddly I did not discover Pinterest until early 2013. Pinterest is a wonderful tool for collecting and storing digital images, Blogs and links on a 'Board' you create within an account, online. For non-business Pinners like me, it's Free. <br />
<br />
My current count of boards is a total of 70 with more than 11,000 Pins. I know this will increase as I discover new ideas and interests. I am a serial Pinner. What is that you ask? Well, I pin everyday. If I'm waiting for my coffee to be made at a coffee shop. . I'll pin whilst waiting. If I'm standing in a queue ... I'll pin whilst waiting. It's a magnificent time filler and you get to see or learn about so many things. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For my beadwork I draw inspiration from everywhere, thus I am able to 'store' my inspiration sources through the use of these 'Boards'. My interests are many and varied and include <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/art-deco/" target="_blank">Art Deco Jewellery</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/antique-jewels-from-around-the-world/" target="_blank">Antique Jewellery (Jewelry)</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/art-nouveau/" target="_blank">Art Noveau Jewellery</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/colour-ways-from-nature/" target="_blank">Colour (Color) ways from Nature</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/bow-chic/" target="_blank">Bow Chic</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/paspaley-pearls/" target="_blank">Textile Embellishment</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/gabrielle-coco-chanel/" target="_blank">Chanel</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/soutache-embroidered-wearable-art-jewellery/" target="_blank">Soutache Jewellery</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/the-great-gatsby-2013/" target="_blank">The Great Gatby 2013</a>, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/paris-is-always-a-good-idea-audrey-hepburn/" target="_blank">Paris and Audrey Hepburn</a>, and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/swarovski-is-everywhere/" target="_blank">Swarovski</a> (to name a few). I love being a Pinner, it is a really great past time. <br />
<br />
My <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/honeybee67/beaded-beauty-wearable-non-wearable-art/" target="_blank">Beaded Beauty (wearable and non-wearable art)</a> Board is my most followed board, with over 1000 pins (images) I have currently more than 700 followers. Who are followers you say? Quite simply they are fellow Pinners whose interest is also beaded jewellery. They, the fellow pinners like to repin Pins to their Boards or simply just watch the pins in their Home Feed when they feel like visiting Pinterest. At this moment in time collectively 1652 people (followers) actively follow what I Pin to my Boards, this increases every single day. I get a kick from new followers joining my Pinterest gang, they're more than welcome to join my Pinterest sojourn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/atmccann/the-51-most-powerful-pinners-in-the-world" target="_blank">Pinners</a> who have more than a million followers!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The current tally for worldwide Pinners is more than <a href="http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/pinterest-stats/" target="_blank">70 million</a>! Pinterest have a <a href="http://blog.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Blog</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pinterest" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://about.pinterest.com/press/" target="_blank">Press</a> Page and are based in California. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few weeks back whilst looking through Pinterest and following threads I came across a particular Board that fell under the genre title of 'History'. I followed the thread and discovered daguerreotype post mortem portraits which were very common in the nineteenth century. Mortality rates were high in these times, particularly for infants and children. Early Victorian's preferred to have an image of a deceased loved one rather than have no memory at all. Because photography was in its infancy it was extremely expensive to be photographed, thus usually this was the only photograph taken of a family member. Eyes were painted on closed eyelids, colour was added to imges to add a 'life' like look to the decesaed. Custom metal frames were used so that the deceased could stand upright for their photograph. Sometimes, 'alive' family members were included in the photograph along with the deceased. Some may say creepy .. but I say it was their way of honouring their loved ones and having a lasting momento.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a pinner I have followed countless threads within Pinterest and consequently I have seen images of the beautiful Evelyn McHale, the woman who ended her life on the 1st of May 1947 by jumping from the Empire State building and landing on a parked car below. Photography student, Robert Wiles took the last sad image of her which was then published in Life magazine at the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have seen JFK's body on an autoposy slab following his <span class="kno-a-v">November 22, 1963, assasination. I have seen grizzly crime scenes, the shocking scene of Sharon Tate lying dead following the Manson's murderous rampage. I have seen the image of an overweight woman who suicided in a bath of water. A body allowed to decompose for a consierable length of time in water is not a sight that many could stomach. I have seen dismembered and decapitated bodies that the Mexican Drug Cartel's were responsible for, learned about "The Body Farm" (a plot of land where bodies offered for science are left so that Forensic students can learn about exposure and the process of decomposition). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="kno-a-v"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="kno-a-v">I have seen images of murderers and learned and sometimes seen image/s of their horrific crimes. Seen colour photographs of car accident victims, pedestrian accidents, suicide by gunshot or hanging. I saw a moving image of a grief stricken, Anna Nicole Smith cradling her beloved son Daniel after he had died from an overdose. Holocaust photographs, graphic colour autopsy photographs, human genitals in plastic bags and exhumed bodies. I discovered and saw photographs of the atrocity known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre" target="_blank">Nanjing Massacre</a>, by the Japanese against the Chinese in 1937, unpublished images of 911 and a post mortem photograph of Osama Bin Laden, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="kno-a-v"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="kno-a-v">The list of horrific images is long as was the time I spent watching the macabre photostream on my Ipad Why did I look? I was driven by nothing more than curiosity. I imagine I have seen everything there is to see of this sort of imagery on Pinterest now. I will not look again. Following the marathon of looking at the images I was left with a sickness in the pit of my stomach that would not go away for a long time. The images plagued me in my dreams a few times, but mostly it just left me with a heightened sense of mortality, a deep sense of sadness for the victims photographed and a restless feeling of being unsafe. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am sharing my experience with you, concerning a particular type of Miyuki Delica bead that has failed (ie broken under tension) more than three times whilst being woven into beadwork. My experience would suggest that matte coloured Miyuki Delica's do not cope well under tight tension and will ultimately break.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I used Miyuki Delicas to bead the two beadwork pieces shared within this blog. I have re-beaded them both twice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Collectively that is three times! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The beadwork pieces returned to me earlier this year as they had 'broken' again (break #3). I looked more closely at the pieces and to my dismay it was in fact the Miyuki Delica's that had failed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you look closely at Pic 01, 02 and 03 you will see that the Fireline is intact, just the beads either missing or in half. I doubt very much that the beads were broken through impact ie dropped on a hard surface. The brooch Pic 01 and Pic 02 failed in two areas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The first rebead of the pieces I naturally assumed it was the Nymo that had failed and rebeaded both pieces using 6lb Fireline from scratch again, using the same Miyuki Delica beads that I had originally used <span style="color: orange;">DBR 653</span> (matte orange) and <span style="color: #38761d;">DBR 390</span> (matte green) both size 11's. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I beaded these pieces originally, then a second time using Miyuki Delica's from a bulk order of beads that I had purchased. Whether they were from the same batch will never be known, but it is curious that both DBR's in different matte colours both failed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I now suspect that it was the Miyuki Delicas that had failed originally however, I did not examine the beadwork closely enough. I 'assumed' it was the Nymo thread that had failed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I no longer use Nymo thread as I consider it an unworthy product for longevity of beadwork.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I rebeaded both pieces a third time abandoning the Miyuki Delicas, using only Miyuki and Toho seed beads (also called rocailles) size 11 and 15 and of course 6lb Fireline.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Another Miyuki Delica, of interest is the DBR 671 size 11. This bead is not a matt coloured bead but rather a faceted Delica. The beads actually broke in half many times whilst I was beading this pair of earrings. I managed however to complete the earrings, after repairing the bead breaks, but over time the beads have failed as did the matt coloured Delicas. The earrings have not been worn.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In future I will only use matt coloured Miyuki Delicas for projects such as bead embroidery or where tension is not required.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I will say also that the tension I used whilst creating all of these pieces was in accordance with the necessary level of tension required to capture and secure the cabochons within the beadwork. Any professional beader would have used the same tension.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I have provided Miyuki feedback regarding their products.</span></div>

P to the Power of 7 .. What's that you say? It is a term born on a mining site during the very difficult commissioning phase of the Murrin Murrin Cobalt and Nickel mine, Western Australia. A place that had epic problems due to design faults, which eventually resulted in legal action.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prior, Planning & Preparation Prevent a Piss Poor Performance ... is the long version of P7.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Crude in some respects, but remember this term was created on an isolated mine site which was a male dominated work place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I designed the 'Painted Daisy' ring prior to Christmas 2012, made four samples and was very pleased with the design and excited to share it with <a href="http://www.digitalbeadingmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Digital Beading magazine</a> readers. <br />
<br />
It was the Christmas school holidays, I was stressed it was hot, my boys were being their usual badly behaved, shouting, ever hungry, bored selves. The deadline for the delivery of my project was the end of January 2013. It was very hard to think, let alone have time to work uninterupted on the PC with both of my boys at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought to myself, this design is nice and quick (<em>I can bead one up in just over an hour</em>) so it will be no trouble to write up. I will leave it untill the last week of the school holidays before I begin the tutorial/pattern .. confidently I thought ..it will be ok.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst I felt I had addressed and throught about the P7 I did not factor in any 'what if's' .. ie variables that are not within my control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So .. what if..?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My boys return to school, and I start writing the tutorial with only days till the deadline, then discover that it is impossible to articulate parts of the design into a written and diagrammatical format.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I had to re-design the 'Painted Daisy' ring so that I could in fact articulate the design into a written and diagrammatical format.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I started writing up the tutorial, took a break and decided to clean up some software installations that I perceived to be not useful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I deleted several programs only to discover that I had deleted the files that control the resolution for my oversised monitor, so that when viewing documents they were stretched across the monitor and impossible to work on..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if it took all day to reinstall all the software that I deleted before I was able to use the PC again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I took all the photographs of the steps to make the design, downloaded them, edited them, named them, inserted them into the document only to discover that I had created the sample with 12 units in the bezel rather than 13 units.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I had to make the sample again, and wait for the camera batteries to charge, photograph all the steps a second time, download the 2nd set of photographs, edit the new photograpahs and name the new photographs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I was about to start the tutorial again with the new images and then got a phonecall from the school, saying my son was ill and needed to be taken home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if I started writing that project again stayed up really late two nights in a row, the second night until after midnight only to be woken up at 2am to clean up vomit, then woken up again 2 hours later with that same sick child that came home early from school that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So a timely note to self is, when you have the time well in advance to prepare something that has a deadline, use that time. You can use the P7 all you want but there will always be <strong>What If's</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<em>Hepzibahs Pendulum</em> .. you say? What's that you say? Hepzibah was the name given to my maternal great, grandmother we just called her Dais or Daisy Belle. She lived until she was 92.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I named this piece in honour of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My beading bud (bbbf), who lives in Sydney, <a href="http://patrickduggandesigns.com/" target="_blank">Patrick Duggan</a> was invited by <a href="http://www.marciadecoster.com/" target="_blank">Marcia DeCoster</a> to submit designs for a new book Beads in Motion. I was very excited for Patrick and this opportunity, it got me thinking tho ... hmmm could I design something that actually moved using only beads. I quickly slipped into Melly World (an annoying state of mind for those who know me, particularly my husband, children and mother).. it is a state of mind that I can 'shut my ears off' and tap into my creative muse. I sketched out only one design. Patrick, in the meantime had contacted Marcia to enquire as to whether I might submit work for consideration. Marcia was delighted with the suggestion so I set to work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The concept that I had in mind was a swinging pendulum as an actual neckpiece. I had an amazing faceted 34c Amethyst bead in my stash that I wanted to use as the actual pendulum weight, so the colour way was determined by the use of that single bead (joining Amethyst would be reds and golds). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How to make it swing? First I bezzeled a divine Swarovski Dentelle in the colour 'Light Siam'. Size 60ss this sweet baby is vintage and discontinued, consequently a rare beauty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the Dentelle grew the barrel that the pendulum would swing from. Next a beaded ring from which to suspend the pendulum. So that the pendulum did not slip around I had to design a chanel for the pendulum to sit within. The beaded ring, barrel and chanel still had to allow for 'ease of swing' so significant fine tuning of the design was required at this time. Now how to make it a vision of beauty ie a neckpiece worthy of the Gallery section of the esteemed Master Beader, Marcia DeCoster. Not daunted I let the design 'rest' whilst my muse delivered the design .. I did not have to wait long.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The pendulum and side view of the barrel</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pendulum has to be at the base of the focal, where all good pendulum's are. I designed a top half of the pendulum using another 60ss Dentelle, this time more heavily embellished and larger to aid in the balance of the focal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
Then the next design hurdle presented itself ..how to join the two components? I decided upon creating another barrel for the top Dentelle focal, then joining the two with a strap of herringbone. Joining the top focal and the pendulum focal required the most design time. Why? Balance had to be considered, the pendulum had to swing unobstructed and it had to look beautiful. Days of bead engineering, sampling, undoing, redoing, frustration and a couple of times total dispair as I could not achieve harmony between the focals. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But patiance and engineering prevailed and the two focals were successfully joined and achieved all the target specifications ie to swing and to be functional. I changed out the length of the pendulum to a shorter version, then created a bead cap to add further weight to add in functionality of the 'swing' factor of the pendulum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Then the clasp. I am a fan of magnetic clasps, I source the finest and the strongest from around the world. The magnetic clasps used in this design are gold filled and small. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An addition of a single beadwoven ring of beads sits between the clasp focals which are two, 60ss Dentelles. This acts as a neckpiece connector, ie remove it and the neckpiece is shorter by an inch or so. <em>Hepzibah's Pendulum</em> required 2 full weeks of beading and designing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An email from Dawn Dillingham arrived this morning from Lark Publishing. The email confirmed that <em>Hepzibah's Pendulum</em> was selected and will be included in the Gallery of Marcia DeCoster's second book 'Beads in Motion'. I am so thrilled and I am so delighted. I am uncertain of the scheduled release date of the book, but it will be 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Late last year, 2012 I submitted <em>Hepzibah's Pendulum</em> to the Fire Mountain Beads & Gems, Seed Bead Category contest, which is run annually. I received confirmation that <em>Hepzibah's Pendulum</em> had been selected for second round judging, she is currently in the USA. I look forward to hearing how she went. I will let you know as soon as I do.</div>

Patrick informed me today on reading my blog, that he too has had work accepted to appear in the book. How fabulous to share the pages with my delightful and talented friend. <br />

Whilst wondering around Etsy.com in search of Soutache excellence to pin to my Board <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/BeadworkArtist/soutache-extraordinaire/" target="_blank">'Soutache Extrodinaire'</a> (yes I am Pinterest crazy right now). I happened across a store that was selling a Soutache neckpiece for $175. I looked closely argh .. cheap soutache, wonky stacking* and gasp .. symmetrical imperfection! Now before I say anymore, lets just clear up that I do not claim to be the Queen of Soutache Embroidery, merely the Duchess of Symmetry (tongue in cheek of course).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Currently I am working on a Soutache piece entitled 'Venetian Tango' it's a vibrant piece using glass cabochons and beads from my vintage Venetian Millefiori collection, The 'Tango' reference is ode to the vibrant red and black Soutache and sparkling movement the piece exudes. I decided to share how I created two components for this to demonstrate how to achieve symmetry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To achieve symmetrical perfection typically does not happen the first time you play with Soutache, indeed not the second or third time either. Symmetrical perfection requires focus, steady hands, a good eye, technique and the final ingredient .. 'patience'. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Creating Art is not a production line activity, so there is never a need to rush to finish, not ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Creating Symmetrical Perfection</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Start by placing the components you want and lay them out in readyness. I have two components here that require symmetrical perfection. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L4HTrZsKhbA/UPR5Sp5Z4II/AAAAAAAAAaY/Jfqk3-SZAcI/s1600/099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L4HTrZsKhbA/UPR5Sp5Z4II/AAAAAAAAAaY/Jfqk3-SZAcI/s1600/099.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For these componets I precut identical lengths of Soutache. I only use premium quality European Soutache. Soutache from 'Spotlight and/or Lincraft' is suitable for practice sampling only. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I work from one component to the next, ie in tandem this way I am replicating identical components.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To ensure perfect symmetrical proportions of my fold back curls (we'll just call them curls for now). I select the first component, ensure that my working thread (always use Fireline, typically I use 2lb or 4lb for sewing the Soutache) is exiting the edge of the back of the component (see pic below the 'white' line). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">See where the white line (Fireline) exits</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carefully fold back your Soutache stack of strands to form the curl, position them, ensuring the curl Soutache strands are carefully stacked. Examine the curl, is it perfect? If so, position the curl to the back of the cab by sewing through the ends of the Soutache and anchor it. (At this point in time I like to sew through the curl stack to join the layers of Soutache). Move to the second curl on the first cabochon. Look at the first curl, then start creating the second curl. Hold the ends with your fingers, now look at the curl .. ask yourself is it identical to the first curl? .. if not, redo it, keep redoing it until it is identical, then anchor it using your working thread. Even after you have anchored the second curl, look at it again, from different angles, is it identical? If not unpick and start again, as so often is said in Australia <em>'she'll be right mate'</em> just will not do in this instance.</div>

The second component, this is where it starts to get a wee bit tricky as this one must be identical to the first component. I understand that Soutache embroidery allows for 'organic movement' but typically the components must have symmetrical proportions.</div>

Whilst working with Soutache (my second love behind beadwork) I discovered a neat way of finishing the back area of your Soutache piece's. I like the back to look tidy and professional. I've called it the MI Method!</div>

Remove as much excess Soutache tails as possible, the less bulk the better. Pin on a piece of tracing paper or baking paper, over the area to be concealed, ensure you press down and capture the folds of the Soutache. Using a marker, draw the out the area to be concealed. See Step 1. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note: The surface area is increased by the folds of the Soutache tail bulk, this must be factored in when preparing the template. </div>

Pin the template to your section of UltraSuede or Leather (or whatever it is that you prefer to work with). I have pinned my template to UltraSuede (see Step 3). Cut out the template.

Using a pair of small sharp scissors, carefully snip the excess away from the Soutache perimeters of the area to be concealed (see Step 5). Do this slowly and carefully, adding dots of Loctite to the area to be glued, pressing down to ensure adhereance, then moving onto the next area.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">How was I inspired to create Arabesque Armour? This question was asked of me and in all honesty I do not really know. I do not always understand this about any of the artisan jewellery pieces that I create. Sometimes I get just an image in my mind, then process this sometimes for weeks. Visualising thread paths and possiblitilies. I will make samples using Nymo (rather than expensive Fireline) to get a feel for what my mind sees. I can be inspired by many things cloud shapes, my very large bead stash, how food and colours are displayed on a plate, vintage couture jewellery, even words can inspire me such as my latest piece "Anna's Snowrose". "Anna's Snowrose" was inspired by my Facebook friend Anna Lindell whom I met as she too is a participant of the Battle of the Beadsmith contest. Anna commented one day that my design Arabesque Armour resemebled a "rose on a stem". Later I met Snowrose Feldman another Facebook friend and with that my muse got me busy creating Anna's Snowrose (I will blog about this design another day).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Where did the floral focal inspiration arrive from for Arabesque Armour I will never know. Perhaps it was when I sit and create samples and play with stitches, my drawings or it could have been when I saw a magazine cover earlier this year that had a floral shaped cuff bangle. I looked at that cuff design and thought ..'I can bead that' .. with that I snapped a pic with my iPhone, then promptly forgot about it. Why did I even choose a floral focal?.. again, I do not exactly know. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I fiddled with samples for the floral focal for some time and finally went with Cubic Right Angle Weave as the stitch to bring my floral idea to life. As only a beader will know, you may have an idea of a design in your creative mind, but actually creating it using only beads can sometimes just not be possible as ultimately the beads are boss. Design limitations and time resulted in the floral focal that became central to my Arabesque Armour design. I knew that because it was CRAW I could embellish it and create something wonderful. The next part of the design process was how best to display the floral focal. I decided on a beadwork frame setting that would be embellished with Swarovski elements and seed beads.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Because this piece was being designed for the Battle of the Beadsmith contest I wanted to produce my best work as the audience would be large, very large. I wanted to include something new and different. I included CRAW attachment points on my Rivolis within the beadwork frame so that I could join them seamlessly. I wanted wonderful curls that I could embellish and most of all I wanted to produce something totally original. I chose a colour way that I had not ventured into before. I wanted it to say nothing more than 'fun' and colour especially pinks, lemon, purples and yellows suggest fun (to me anyway). The Battle is about friendship and uniting artists around the world so I wanted my colour way choice to reflected just that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For a bit of Battle fun I decided that the tassel must be detachable for Battle purposes; my thoughts being detach prior to Battle so that a flaying tassel does not interfere with sword weilding, all tongue in cheek though.</span></div>

Comments taken from the Fire Mountain Beads & Gems website from the President of FMG "<em>Stuart, a trained aeronautics engineer, gravitated toward the gorgeous geometrics and cleverly hidden side clasp in Melissa Ingram’s <span class="italic">Lashed Lily</span> necklace. Melissa used tubular peyote stitch to construct the necklace body, then assembled the cascading centerpiece with mathematical precision".</em><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lashed Lily is a right angle woven (unlike FMG who refer to the stitch as peyote) necklace strap (beads over armature), the magnetic clasp is hidden in the necklace strap. However the focal resembles a toggle clasp which was created using the Swarovski Square Ring Article 4439 and two Swarosvki 'Lily Focal's' Article 6904 that I simply 'lashed' together to form the toggle part of the clasp, albeit a faux toggle clasp. The design focal is embellished with Swarovski pearls and bicones. The colour way is largely green and purple with matt sterling plated Toho seed beads forming most of the beadwork.</div>

July 10, 2012 was the deadline for submitting entries to the Battle of the Beadsmith. On the 6th day (ie the 16th) Steven Weiss (Marketing Manager for Beadsmith and Creator of the Event) was still waiting for participants to submit their entries. I had to voice my concern which became 'an issue' but which resolved in time, decisions were made and the Battle proceeded. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I felt that the participants who achieved the deadline had their effort's undervalued and not respected. A deadline is just that, an end point which must be adhered to plus the contest had 'alternatives' set aside for just this reason. I totally 'get' that Steven was trying hard to accommodate and support each 'late' participant so that they could submit their respective entries but in doing so he was not supporting those who had submitted on time. A difficult position to be in.</div>

Arabesque Armour was submitted as my design entry for the contest, many of the participants began making celebration pieces as a sort of 'relax' piece following the mammoth effort to create and submit their respective entries on time. I created the 'Battle Cuff' which matched Arabesque Armour.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Voting for Round 1 has well and truly commenced, the results should be released any day now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Arabesque Armour is largely a cubic right angle woven neckpiece, 49 individually bezzeled vintage 47ss Chatons in Amethyst were carefully beaded, each bezzel takes approx. 30 minutes to complete. The focal necklace and the choker are joined as one complete neckpiece through the use of a beadwoven clasp and 3 magnetic clasps. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did want to create the piece so that the choker and necklace could be worn independantly, but this was not to be as I simply ran out of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Chatons are teamed with Swarovski Rivolis & Oblong Stones (Article 4161) in Jonquil, Burgundy and Rose, Chessboard Rounds in Rose, bicones, drops and rounds in Fushia Brandy, Rose Brandy, Jonquil AB2x and Crystal Luminous Green. The Swarovski Crystal pearls are 'Powdered Almond' a perfect accompaniment to the colour way as they have a soft pinkish hue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seed beads used are largely Miyuki 'Duracoat' Seed Beads and Rocailles. Czech, size 15 seedies are also included in this design. Stitches used CRAW, RAW, Peyote, Herringbone and Picots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

So the results are out .. in fact they have been out for weeks ... but I have been overwhelemed with so much that blogging has not been a regular event. I am happy to report that my entries <em>'Tequila Sunrise'</em> and '<em>Melbournian</em>' were not only finalists but place holders .. both of the them in fact! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you submit entries to Bead Dreams you pay the submission fee of $US30 and for that you may submit two pieces ... so I submitted Melbournian, just because! Some of you may already know of this particular piece "<em>Melbournian"</em>. <em>Melbournian</em> will be published in the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Showcase-500-Beaded-Jewelry-Contemporary/dp/1454703164" target="_blank">Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry</a> (Lark Publishing) (August 2012) she was selected along with my cuff design <em>Magic Carpet Ride</em>. Thus <em>Melbournian</em> is not only an internationally published piece but also awarded as she is a Bead Dream finalist and Bead Dream 3rd Place winner in the Crystal Jewelry Category. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What you might not know is that <em>Melbournian</em> was my 'grief' piece created when we moved from Melbourne, Victoria to Brisbane, Queensland. My intention was to submit <em>Melbournian</em> to Bead Dreams 2011 but I just became overwhelmed from the move and did not complete her in time. To date she is my most successful piece of beadwork.</div>

<em>Tequila Sunrise</em> is the piece that I created and submitted for no other reason than Bead Dream's itself. The bead woven fan design neckpiece took 5 months to design and bead and has won 3rd place in the Seed Bead Category.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a first time entrant to this contest I am giddy with delight that I managed to achieve such a feat, twice!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<em>Tequila Sunrise</em> and <em>Melbournian</em> returned home to Australia this week, complete with their respective ribbons, a box full of Swarovski Elements, the Swarovski magazine 'Sound', a congratulatory note from Kalambach Publishing and the Judges Notes. I plan to talk about the Judges notes in particular as a separate blog as they are of considerable interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I intend submitting an entry/ies to the <a href="http://www.beadandbuttonshow.com/Events/Contests/2010/12/Bead%20Dreams%20Rules.aspx" target="_blank">2013 Bead Dreams Bead Artisty Contest</a>. Ideas have already formulated in my mind, however they need to stay there awhile longer as I am currently preparing beadwork for a new beading book about worldwide beading connections of which I will be a featured beading artist. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This month I was featured in the Connect Magazine which is a quarterly publication produced by the Bead Society of Victoria, of which I am a member. I wrote the article at the invitation of Christine Mole who is the Secretary for the Society. This is the article.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My beading journey began 20 years ago when I happened across a bead store in Fremantle, WA. I went inside and was immediately captivated by the possibilities of what lay inside those clear plastic jars & tubes!! I still have the gold bugle beads I bought that day but oddly I have not really explored bugle beads very much. In those days my capabilities extended only to stringing and creating bead embroidery appliqués but in 2004 whilst I was expecting my first child I began my beadweaving journey. I tried to teach myself peyote, but was even unsure how to pronounce the word peyote! With no YouTube videos available to watch or beading tutors it all just seemed futile. I persevered, and finally mastered this wonderful versatile stitch and have been teaching myself beadweaving stitches ever since. My favourite stitch is CRAW and I am experimenting with Albion Stitch. I attended Laura McCabe’s 2009 and Marcia DeCoster’s 2010 workshops and really enjoyed the experience and have been beadweaving full time more or less since 2008.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I have designed and authored beading and polymer clay projects, tutorials and articles for Australian Beading magazine since April 2008. My beadwork has appeared on the front cover five times, an achievement I am very proud of.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In 2010 I entered the “Create Your Style” Swarovski’ Australian Competition. 3 entries were finalists in the Open Division and 1 entry was a finalist in the Creative Division.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Late 2011 I enthusiastically submitted 3 pieces of beadwork to Lark Publishing as there was a call for submissions for their book ‘Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry’. February 2012 I received amazing news that ‘Melbournian’ and ‘Magic Carpet Ride Cuff’ were included in the book. The book will be released on August 7</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super;">th</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 2012, and is available to ‘pre-order’ through Amazon.com.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My beadwork necklace ‘Lashed Lily’ is currently in the US awaiting second round judging for the Fire Mountain Beads & Gems Swarovski Jewelry Competition. Lashed Lily is a sinister name I know but it refers purely to the Swarovski ‘Lily’ pendants used in the design. ‘Lashed’ refers to exactly that as I have lashed two ‘Lily’ pendants together.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">During 2011 I was very disappointed having at not being able to complete my Bead Dream entry in time for the deadline. We had moved from Melbourne to Brisbane due to my husbands employment so life was hectic and it just proved too difficult to meet the deadline. The piece inended for submission was ‘Melbournian’ which evolved from my grief of having to move away from my beloved Melbourne. This piece was later selected for the ‘Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry’ book so the journey of creating ‘Melbournian’ actually ended very happily.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">After being dissapointed in 2012 I worked for 5 months with 6 weeks of 4 – 9 hours of daily beading to complete my beadwork entry for the Bead Dreams competition and as I write this article ‘Tequila Sunrise’ a beadwoven fan neckpiece is awaiting notification results due out in April. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I purchased a large booty of vintage (1940's) minature, handpainted porcelain doll face cabochons from the US back in 2008. The dealer knew very little about them; other than they were made in Taiwan and possibly from the 1940's. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have 6 different and beautiful face cabochons in 3 sizes listed in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MIDesign?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>. There is a 7th face cabochon, however I am having some difficulty locating her. Each face is delicately handpainted and while each may look the same if you compare them they are in fact unique. Some imperfections are present in some of the faces, but they are slight. There are no cracks or chips in any of the cabochons.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got busy with them and created perhaps, twenty or so beaded girls. I called the collection 'Guardian Girls', they all sold.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I lost interest in beading my girls, boxed and shelved them in my bead stash cupboards and moved on to beading other jewellery bits and pieces. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I posted a pic of Coco (who now resides with my dear High School </span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">friend, Jane) an elaborately embellished Guardian Girl on Joanne Browne's (of JosJewels1) Facebook page as she was seeking inspiration for beading some face cabochons that she had been gifted. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The interest in my girls was so great that I decided to list them in my Etsy store for others to share. I listed them yesterday and overnight there was a flurry of activity. I've got girls travelling to Mexico, Israel, the US and a few orders within Australia.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I charge only what Australia Post charge me ie there are no inflated postage rates or handing charges. I will refund any postage over charge, guranteed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will reserve some girls to take with me to the Aussie Beading Retreats in September of this year to offer at the mini market (Friday night) along with other fabulous bits and bobs from my giant bead stash!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take heed though .. if you 'want em .. git em quick'. The supply is not infinite and so when they are gone my friends, they are gone.</span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Beading</span> <br />

Begin It Has.<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Battle of the Beadsmith began without fanfare on May 14 2012, May 15 here in Australia owing to the global time zones. The participant number increased from 64 to 80 due to controversy*.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My colour way had already been selected and the large bundle of bead filled tubes and assorted components already purchased. My decision to choose this particular colour way was based on two elements 1. Fun and 2. a colour way I had not ever worked with before. I cleared my work area .. took a deep breath and opened the first factory package of vintage Swarovski Chatons that I managed to source from the UK. This particular colour was hard to find and I thought I would never find it despite extensive internet searches. Then the task of individually beading them commenced .. each one takes around 30 minutes to bead .. and I have alot to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had sketched out my initial design in my trusty handmade, leather bound journal; but as always it morphs into something that only slightly resembles the original design. I have beaded other parts of the design and do this when I get tired of continually beading the Chatons. I always design like this .. constantly moving around the design. If I get stumped I walk away and let it rest and give my mind time to visualise the design and explore solutions. I have what I call 'on board CAD software' that is I can visualise, rotate in 3D and design in my head. I can see thread paths and bead intricate designs using my minds eye. I like to do this quietly, it's a sort of meditative process. I can block any white noise around me and just focus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This Tournament for me is not about trying to out do each other, it is about celebrating beading as an artform and sharing in the moment with other like minded bead artists. I am truly honoured and grateful for being invited to be a part of the Tournament. When it comes time for my design not to progress into another round, do not be sad for me .. do not think ... 'oh, she must be disappointed'. Please just be happy for me that I was a participant of this wonderful fun, Tournament. I will politely curtsey, smile and usher graciously to whom I am paired with to step forward to the next round.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*The participant number increased from 64 to 80 owing to some controversy. I will elaborate .. Initially the Tournament, created by Steven Weiss (Marketing Manager for Beadsmith) was a secret group on Facebook, with members invited to participate by Steven. When the Battle of the Beadsmith group became 'Open' a Canadian woman became unhappy that Canada was not represented in the group. Her thoughts were that this was a global Tournament when in fact it was not. Anyhoo the upshot is that there was lots of discussion, some pleasant some not so pleasant so Steven made the hard decision to increase the participant number to 80.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
