TEXAS BEAUTY!

This is a photo sent to me from a wonderful
customer wearing her "Rainbow" custom designed
necklace. I have a feeling she has a closet full of
these great, colorful blouses (Mexican? Indian?)
like I do! She is a gem to work with due to the fact
that she loves jewelry and has a real sense of what
she likes, what she wants and of design. Thankx to you!

WHAT'S SLID OFF MY BEADING BOARD TODAY?

"Rainbow Symphony"
(custom order)
This colorful necklace is a custom request that I've been working on for a while now -
the going is slow since I had another major hand reconstruction just 2 weeks
ago and am tucked back into a full arm and hand cast for the next 2 months!
The buyer had already purchased a salmon choker in the same style and she
wanted one with more color in it. I hope this meets her expectations! It's been
a bit of a challenge but the doctor left 4 fingers outside the cast this time so I was
able to barely figure out how to grasp the end of the string between index and middle
fingers. Hardest part is threading the needle and getting each piece actually started
and worked so that I have something to hang onto! Ah, challenges...
1-26-09: I sent this photo to the buyer in Texas and this was her return reply.
"Hi Dini, How are you? First let me just say - OH MY GOD - what a fabulous necklace!
I wish you could hear the amazement in my expression! The necklace looks stunning....
I just love the colors! What a great piece! And you did this with your hand in a cast??!!!!!
I am blown away..... " Whew, me thinks!!
She promised to have her hubby take a photo of her wearing it when it arrives.

"TEXAS TREAT!"

This necklace was a custom order from a great lady in Tomball, Texas. She had seen another necklace on this blog just a week ago and fell in love with it but it just wasn't in her colors. She asked if I could make her a necklace in her special colors: turquoise, black and silver...and the process began.



She wanted it for the holidays if possible but would understand if I couldn't get it done by then. I worked on it often during the last week and this is the final result.


Wear it in good health and a happy spirit, Billie!

WHAT'S ON MY BEADING BOARD TODAY?


Well I've been coveting this fabulous raku piece made by MAKUstudios (http://www.makustudio.blogspot.com/) for quite a while and now it's finally a part of a whole. Been working on this all weekend. Raku is a wonderful high-fire ceramic; rustic in nature and to me, just yummy. I almost feel like it's been excavated out of a hidden city in some mystical location.
