Twice Happy & Ginko-licious

 , , , 0

Beads – they make you happy twice. The first is when you get them, play with them, contemplate them, spread them around and think of all the possibilities, and make them into something. The second time is when you wear them, show off your creation, or just have the quiet satisfaction of having something that perfectly fits your mood or outfit, or when you give it to some else and it makes them happy; and that makes you happy. I was reminded of these recently when I was talking on the phone to a friend who commented on how much …

Is there still a place for Quick and Easy?

0

Once upon a time, I spent a lot of time extolling how to make jewelry quickly and easily. We were all in a big time crunch, and the faster the better. Pre-beaded chain was wonderful for that. You could whip off a set like this in under 30 minutes. I think it is kind of charming that the beads varyin size. Looks more organic and hand made. Ignore that clasp, it’s been in my stash for something like 15 years and is discontinued.  If you want a multi-strand clasp in gold, try these. Or these earrings – these are fun …

Chevrons & GemDuos

0

New colors and finishes in the GemDuos this week, which also led to us adding the Chevrons – another 2-hole bead that is sized to fit with the GemDuos. And the Cymbal findings too to finish them off.   GemDuos – Familiar colors in the Czech Shield finish. The new Matte Velvet. The matte velvet is a coating, but it is a really, really heavy coating. You’d have to take a nail file to this and saw away to take it off. And the Rembrandt finish, which is a kissing cousin to Picasso. Lots of fun colors in the Chevrons …
