Charms, beads and quilts, oh my!

After nearly a week of no arts or crafts I was starting to go through withdrawals.

There has been quite a bit of chatter on the Yahoo groups I belong to about charms lately. I made these since ones today from some MahJong tiles I had laying around.
My only question is: Do I have these in the proper direction?

The next item I played around with was some more paper beads. I had used up almost all I had made before. They are so simple and very addictive to make. Now I really want to make some smaller ones. I’m thinking if I get some coffee stirring straws, they’ll be thin enough to make some small beads on.

I have also started cutting fabric for a quilt. I’ve made an all flannel quilt using this pattern but this time I am planning on doing flannel on one side and denim on the other. Today in celebration of a 16lb weight loss…I cut up 3 pairs of jeans to put to good use in the quilt!

UPDATE: 26LB WEIGHT LOSS NOW!!!

Game piece charms

I’ve made 2 sets of charms for a challenge on TheLatestTrendsinMixedMediaArts. I’m hoping I’ll be able to swap both sets. You can only have 1 entry for the vote so I’ll have to choose. I didn’t realize this when I uploaded the pix to the group…opps.

I could use some help deciding which to enter for the vote…. Dice or Bingo?

3- strand bracelet


I’ve been wanting to do some more jewelry making/beading lately…mostly because my altered art muse has taken an extended vacation. Here is the bracelet I made yesterday.

Exciting news!!

I heard back from a publisher that the bracelet I submitted will be published!! I’m thrilled! Ecstatic! Overjoyed! I could go on and on… I wish I was given a time frame on a publishing date but unfortunately was not. I sent the actual bracelet off to be photographed by the publishing house yesterday.

OK..back to my reality…housework, hubby, kids…and always a little time for art!! :)

UPDATE:
I found out that the book will be published May 2008…seems like a long time from now but I’m sure it will be worth the wait!
