My beading friends might have enjoyed today's Express with the interview of Penelope Diamanti, the owner of Beadazzled stores in DC/VA/MD. (The edition is downloadable at ReadExpress on page E3 or 51 in the pdf file) She has published a book Beadazzled: Where Beads and Inspiration Meet available on her website with previews of some of entries. She claims she didn't pick any "sculpture masquerading as a necklace" for the book. I'm a little surprised she started with earrings as her basic learning point, rather than just stringing a necklace.
Beading pictures
Jun. 3rd, 2005 02:06 pmI put the necklace on my scanner to see how the pictures would turn out. I'm still not wild about the colors in the scan, but it's always going be a little off. The colors are supposed to be very green and teal and black. I have one photo of the necklace by itself and one with the badge holder. Few guesses on who is on my chosen photo and the Buffy fans will probably win.

Mirabilia 2001 Cherub WIP
Jul. 21st, 2002 02:10 pmI just wanted to shared some photos of my current WIP. Most of the cross-stitch is done, except for the half/ 3/4 stitches. Most of the stuff remaining is the beading.

Things I learned about beading...
Jul. 13th, 2002 10:37 pmThe needles are damn sharp. Ow.
The eye of the needle is tiny. Thread the needle in plenty of light.
The beads are tiny little buggers who don't want to be threaded.
Finding a needle in a haystack is child's play compared to finding a lost bead.
