Another cellini finished!




kind of looks like cotton candy, doesn't it? ;>) Am already at work on a black, grey and silver one! I had a friend ask me why I was continuing to make them, when none of them are selling on etsy ( they are expensivo---but they're lots and lots of beads and lots and lots of time!) and my answer for her was------I truly am addicted to them--I love the logical pattern and how it turns out --never thought my brain would go *that way*! ;>)---and maybe someone else will finally want one and buy....I can look forward to that, as well ;>)))

Wallaaaaaaaaaa



Something I discovered this past weekend at my little 'get-a-way' in the Palm Springs area---something that probably everyone but me realized---but- here it is, anywayS! ;>)

I was painting some little clothes pins, and decided I didn't want to use a paper plate for the paints ( I was running out of plates! ;>) ) so---I used the little screw bottle tops from water bottles---worked great --am I the first to figure this out? Didn't think so! ;>0

More of my *cellini addiction*! ;>)



I started another cellini spiral bangle--my 3rd--and I'm already thinking of colors for another!

I have the first 2 up on etsy- lots of lookers, but no buyers! I know- they're pricey--but they take f o r e v e r and use a lot of beads!

Here is the newest--light pastels- almost like Easter Egg colors!

Beader Block



After having beader's block AGAIN! - I've finally finished a few goodies that were just sitting there- looking at me- making me feel guilty!

I kind of became addicted to making Cellini Spiral Bangles - made 2 and collecting colors for another---I've not priced them as high as other I've seen on etsy--but it's not for the lack of work and beads! They take f o r e v e r- but fun ( when I'm in the mood!)

The first one I made was the M&M Carnival Colored one and the one I just finished is the Strawberry Swirl!

( they're on http://cigarboxbeads.etsy.com if you want to see them all in their glory!)

Weird Wednesday ;>)



A while back, I posted some pictures of my 'museum of the odd'---my pixies have 'asked' me to publicize them again! ;>)

I have SO much weird stuff---so much---so I thought I'd have a Weird Wednesday here on my blog with my weird $%#^ !

Here are just a few --- of my weird pixies--i've started selling them on etsy, but these---I have a hard time letting go of!

yeah- I know- I'm a pixie-hoarder! heh heh
