CAN YOU HEAR MY HEART BEADING?
- I participate in a beadweaving class that feels like a band of sisters! The class is free. It is taught through IVC by Annette Hernandez, our fearless leader. Check out her website...she's makes beaded art! Now that it is the Covid-19 season of life, our band of beaders is meeting on Zoom. I've been able to surf the "bead-net" with all of them and so I'm posting some of the things we've seen here.
- I'll be back next week with more findings after I meet with my bead people. <3 (hahaha, there's a bead pun in there!)
- This week I'm considering some Orange County native butterflies that I saw on a Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks website. Who knows if that inspiration will find its way into some beadwork!
Free earring pattern download at Linda's Crafty Inspirations! I wonder how these would turn out with duos? |
Beaddiagrams.com has some pretty cool free patterns but scroll down to find this eye-catching beauty. |
I downloaded several free, beautiful patterns at MGS Designs. Her work is beautiful! The two below (earrings and necklace) are also from MGS Designs!
Above right, is an image (left) that offered inspiration for me. I two made bracelets (top of this page) after seeing this photo. I believe the artist might be Cheri C. Meyer. Making my own bracelets, I used up some beads that I've loved and had for years but never decided how to use. This project was simple and fun!
