    Charms, beads and quilts, oh my!

    March 2, 2008 - By 

    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?

    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.
