I'm still alive, barely. Anyways my spring break was a busy one, I got dragged into making a comic with some of my online friends, working on my pinkie cosplay for big apple ponycon ( more on that later) and I had to work on my art history project, because when the professor allows you to make something instead of writing a research paper, you take that offer. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />I decided to recreate a piece of ancient Greek jewelry: a snake bracelet, here have some history: Spiral bracelets in the form of snakes were very popular in the Hellenistic period. This type of bracelet, like a snake coiled around the wearer's arm, continues the form found in the Classical period. Such bracelets were always worn in pairs, around the wrists or the upper arms. The size of this pair, solid gold and quite heavy, indicates that they were meant for the upper arm. The goldsmith took pains to recreate the sinuous motion of a coiled snake and the texture of its skin at the head and tail. The back loop-closure, which was held by a copper fastening pin, is rather unusual; most snake bracelets slipped on. </span><div>

Meaning that I will not be posting as much as I would like to.....Anyways remember all the way back in December and I attended the <span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: center;">T.A.R.D.I.S Christmas party, and I had to get a gift for the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: center;">White Elephant gift e</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #191919; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: center;">xchange.

Well time to paid my dues. Thankfully the owner of my gift wanted tea cup earrings. (I can do that!) Only I'm down to one lampwork tea/coffee cup....what to do, what do. Mix/match earrings it is!</span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://api.ning.com/files/EOMfvJPEDiLqjex*R3Mrq9PytaIK0FA7KJ3cBtpdZX11auhkEFK5HAlIKfaKAyj2XbrWPT7PET0E0LETnC25MkbDHK7LYiVy/030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://api.ning.com/files/EOMfvJPEDiLqjex*R3Mrq9PytaIK0FA7KJ3cBtpdZX11auhkEFK5HAlIKfaKAyj2XbrWPT7PET0E0LETnC25MkbDHK7LYiVy/030.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First off let me state this,when I started out creating jewelry I rushed out and bought a ton of magazines and trolled websites such as Etsy. And so I started to develop and learn. I had so much fun that I continued despite having no clue or guidance, no knowledge or ability to see what worked and what didn't. Eventually I found my aesthetic, or 'voice'. However, I continue to see exciting artists who do something that makes my ears perk up and my muse say "I wanna do that!" It keeps me energized and full of ideas, and keeps this fun. When asked where their inspiration comes from, people always say, among other things, "from everyday life." What a maddeningly tired answer. It has been studied (citation needed, I know) and it turns out that artists get most of their inspiration from <i>other artists</i>! Why else would we spend 10 hours a day combing through the internet? So that means when people say they get inspiration from everyday life, they're actually stealing a line they got from interviews of other artists! Mind-boggling. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyways, for me planning out a design can go two ways after inspiration hits; there is exhibit A when I actually plan out my design in one of my many sketch books (My artwork and jewelry designs tend to blend together...) and then there is exhibit B in which I just sit down with a pile of beads and wire, look at it and say what the hell can I make with this?! or when an idea just pops into my head. I have found myself going done this road more and more. But the times that I do plan it all out I end up making changes to the design half way though, somethings on paper don't work out in reality. What about everyone here? Are you exhibit A or B?

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So many times I had to stop writing this and just walk away, if this was on paper it would be tear-stained and ink would be running allover the the place. Sorry.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="line-height: 200%;">For
me the most influential person in my life was my grandmother, or as I called
her my "Nana". She was the one who always told me never to give up on
myself and I was always happy to teach me something new in art or just to talk.
She was more than my grandmother; she was a mentor, a friend and a hug whenever
I needed it. Unfortunately, About 4 years ago she was diagnosed with pancreatic
</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;">cancer. The doctor's said that because
of her old age she wouldn't live six months, she passed away a month before my
high school</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;">graduation in early 2012. The
Harmers' were always stubborn my mom joked. I had lost my closest friend, and I
was ashamed that I hadn't even been there. </span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;">We once had plans to go to New Mexico for the Balloon
Festival; I did end up going but without her. She would have loved it. I
decided to make this bracelet in honor of her, in some way I feel like I'm
trying to atone for the guilt of not being there for her. The bracelet is based
off the desert and the Native Americans of New Mexico. Two strings; one of Navajo
sliver beads and the other a mix of sliver, turquoise, cat's eye, lapis, redstone
and green and black stone, disk beads that I don't know their official names
blend together one shiny and bright, eager to learn and the other a mix of experiences
willing to share. </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%;"> </span><br />

I did geeky things; get coffee, hit up both the comic book store and finally check out the new thrift store. Let me put something out there, I love a good thrift store and a good hunt. Mostly because I enjoy finding something tacky that I can turn into something wearable. This is what I manged to find that I could work with... </div>

The necklace on top had really cute charms that looked liked oxidized metal but with the chain that was used it was really to busy for my tastes. Time to take that one apart. The earrings on the left were well...tacky to say the least. But the wooden beads in the middle gave a great idea, the same thing goes with the pair on the right, the charms are cute, but the both pair in my mind need to be a bit more "rustic".<br />

Right, I took all the charms of the the necklace and basically turned them into a charm bracelet with some extra blue beads that I had laying around. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the chain though.....The earrings on the right I swapped out the blue beads with czech picasso seed beads and also added a third dangle to make it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The last pair I updated "Little Blue Bird" with the wooded beads. Ta Da!<br />

In other news: final week, right I have two finals and of course the first one is on Monday and the last one is on Friday. So I have to stay here all week.

<span style="text-align: start;">I have had three sales in my Etsy store this week! *sqeee* Sorry about that, I'm really happy. But it reminded me that Christmas is almost two weeks away; it doesn't seem like it here. Anyways I'm restocking my store today, it's mostly earrings, but I'm also listing "Cute as a Button" and a new necklace called "Water Talisman." </span></div>

The semester is coming to a close and that means of course: finals.<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> Anyways, This is my latest design I call "Cute as a Button". If you go downstairs in my house you notice that we have about 3 round tins filled with buttons,just laying around begging to be used and most of the time I use the tack buttons in my wrap bracelets but what about the other ones? Well, a few sketches and cut up fingers later....</span></div>

To my surprise I was one of the lucky 6 to actually win and be part of the challenge. Then I received my pieces: Pink and Sliver. Really!? My two least favorite colors to work with together in one piece. I didn't really mind the sliver it was mostly the pink <span style="font-family: inherit;">Swarovski crystal beads, I </span>prefer<span style="font-family: inherit;"> something a bit more rustic. But that's why they call it a challenge, right? I went though about 3 different </span>design<span style="font-family: inherit;"> ideas before I came up with one that I liked. </span><br />

I have been working on my portfolio for entrance to Penn State's school of visual arts......I'm going into art education. Thankfully they accept jewelry so that's most likely going to be about half of mine. Here's some of the pieces that I have picked out so far:</div>

Allow me this moment to sing praises to the Caffeine Goddess and all here glory. Because apparently a week before Thanksgiving break means "let's give the students a ton of work due both before and during break." Also I really didn't want to go to class today and I had to finish packing last night because of course I'm going home over break. Most of the time I prefer tea but on days like this I have to pull out the big guns....Coffee. But work will not stop me from being creative, nope. I had some left over random rainbow bead soup(yes that's what I'm calling it) from my birdie necklace, and decide to use it up in a bracelet. Also I was on a roll and finally used the lampwork flower that I got down in Williamsburg,Virginia a year ago. The last one I made during a T.A.R.D.I.S meeting. Also had an interesting talk about chain mail with another member. If any one is interested I can post a link to her Etsy store. Anyways pictures......</div>

I have been making a lot bracelets lately, I think it's time to create some other types. Final note, as I stated earlier I'm going home over break so that means that mostly likely (no guarantees) that I will not be posting anything next week or at least on Thanksgiving. Ohh!!! Something else the highlight of my week: Trying to explain Thanksgiving to my friend from Urban Gaming Club: Rory, who is British.Lady Greyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02659142144002460511noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499776621486611905.post-26068237460952546592012-11-14T08:52:00.000-08:002012-11-14T08:55:44.393-08:00Bead DietI have a new goal, I'm trying to use up my old beads that I own and not buy any new ones.(Wish me luck with that last part.) Though I now look at the beads that I bought years ago, and wonder what was I thinking?! I have a lot of plasticity and cheap looking beads that I would never put in my jewelry now. Of course I was around 15 when I bought them, but still it seems right now to me to be a waste of money. Yet not all of them are completely useless, I found a bunch of brown goldstone beads and some decent orange "natural-looking" beads.<br />
So what to I do kick off this goal? Random, colorful, bead soup necklace! Of course.<br />
As a heads up I got the adorable birdie pendent from Lisa Lodge in one of her bead mixes.<br />

I want ice cream, but I'm being good..... Ack! You, reader, didn't hear anything. O.k? I'm not exactly in my right mind right now. The short story is that I have been busy, stress can do wonders on your sleep cycle, and so to cope I have made a ton,(4 but that's still a lot) of bracelets. From top to bottom they are: Sea Salt Ice Cream, Where's Perry?, Tribal Dance and finally Rings of Saturn. They are all very different from each other.<br />

<span style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Have I mentioned that I love Alice in Wonderland? Well I do, perhaps it's the tea or maybe because it's so strange, confusing, insane, and makes no sense in which just just stirs my creative juices; actually tea does that as well. So it's actually a combination of the two. Where was I? Right, new necklace. The focal is from More Sky Jewels: </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/moreskyejewels">http://www.etsy.com/shop/moreskyejewels</a>, that I received for my birthday a couple months back. I have been meaning to work with it, but the problem was that I received it drill which at first I liked but then I couldn't come up with a connector that I liked, I ended up just covering it up with a brass link and attaching it. Possibly will be up in my store by tomorrow, I have a math exam tonight, so back to cramming...I mean <i>studying.</i></div>

Also create an awesome comic and movie that is sort of based off you. Yay! V for Vendetta. Which is how I will celebrating by watching. Anyways, I have been working on something different, I have been creating hair clips. Ok, just one is done. But anyone who knows me knows that I wake up and don't do anything with my hair. So me adding a little sparkle to hair is well, a shock. But my hair has been getting long, and I need to do <i>something</i> with it. And, ummm.....too much babble on my part, I'm going to shut up now. Enjoy Guy Fawkes' day, everyone.<br />

So after a few pieces of scrap paper, I came up with a couple of designs. This is one of them...I call them Lucky Tea Bracelets.(No idea why, but it has a nice ring to it.) Multi-layer Japanese floral print cord that is wire wrapped at the ends, with an evil eye and tea bag dangle charm. Also fancy clasps.(umm...sort of)<br />

Happy( err....Early) Halloween, my most favorite holiday of the year. I mean come on...free candy! But on a serious note, sort of, I also enjoy the history surrounding it, and the dark, horror elements as well. But I'm not going to bore you with that. Moving on to the fun stuff:<br />

This is a Halloween charm bracelet that I made for my mom, because she is awesome and will buy me beading supplies but only if I make her something, fair trade. But charm bracelets are easy, fun but easy. So I made something else... Vampire Bite Necklace!<br />

Right so this isn't my work, it's my mom's; she's one hell of a knitter. Remind me to post my candy button scarf she made me. Anyways, check out what other people did for October (Though I should warn you the list is very long):<br />

I know my geek is showing again...anyways how would you base a piece of jewelry around this? That was the challenged that <a href="http://usupplies.blogspot.com/">http://usupplies.blogspot.com/</a> offered us.<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOjUserreCODoWT2DOaI5jklI8qV_68FDW2t78kRB0ZDzL54hFIyhFPwSZ-xedMSqeobkvnNjg-7w7mQjVZdBpAQFAxGoRLp6x7AVs6Hu_1h4oTKL-UyrS3uYwV5oeUUtRUXixr1-sZA3f/s640/577057_403307139734464_1387943071_n.jpg" /><br />
Besides using color scheme, random chaos is always fun to use. I decide to make a necklace as random as the solar flares that erupt on the surface of our sun. Right, I basically gathered up all my beads in red, orange, yellow and then threw in some brown and sliver to give to contrast and then put it a bowl, mixed it up and then stung what I randomly picked up. I also did a row of seed beads and brass chain, because I just like multiply chains.<br />

I also had these brass sun charms which fit the theme, so I made a quick pair of earrings as well. See what the others did as well:<br />

Hey but come back I have to post my October Fest Challenge too, don't you want to see what I did? (Spoilers, Not just my work this time.) Lady Greyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02659142144002460511noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499776621486611905.post-24331890501866497742012-10-26T09:00:00.001-07:002012-10-26T16:09:58.718-07:00Earring OverloadRight, so I have two blog hops due this Sunday. Bad planning on my part.<br />
I have made a couple of earrings over the few days; the pig earrings' wire is actually rose pink, I don't know why it came out like brass. Of course it could be this dreary lighting that I have to work with...winter is coming. Anyways, they will most likely be list on Etsy tomorrow. I don't get done with classes until 2:30, and I have math due today.(of course that comes first.)<br />

I got bored again,(more speeches) and with no beading supplies allowed in class, (I have no idea why) I turn to paper. So humor me, ok? This is my OC (Original Character): Camellia Blossom. I mean, I draw people too, not just ponies, it's just that they're fun to draw and easy to finish in a 45 minute period. So....*face gets really red*, I have to go study now.Lady Greyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02659142144002460511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499776621486611905.post-38631274989457222932012-10-24T08:15:00.000-07:002012-10-24T09:10:52.646-07:00Tea Time Necklace<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow, I log in today and find that have over 900 views and 21 followers! You guys are the best.I might have to do something when I reach 1000. Anyways, new necklace today. This one comes from my love of tea, and yes I know that there is a coffee bean on the back...I drink both. Actually this necklace came out due to a mistake. The clasp that I used was supposed to be a pair of earrings, but I broke one( apparently ceramics aren't as strong as I thought.) Well, I just had to use the remaining one some how and in my lovely sleepless nights thought: "<i>Clasp!"</i><br />
The soft warm colors combined with pearls remind me of tranquil dream herbal tea from Teavana. Also I forgot to mention that the pendent is from Green Girl Studios. Love her work, I actually have quite a few because of a sale at bead store down in Pittsburgh.<br />
