crows
what's on my brain?
mmm.
moretti / effetre dark silver plum #275.
the minute it arrived from "Moretti & More" i knew i was going to make crows.
very unfussy & fast - just glass sketches of crows.
this glass works sort of gummy, and you want to keep as many of the ridges and whorls as possible to show off the irredescence of the glass.
the extra beads are also wound from dark silver plum and nothing else.
they look like they were finger sculpted from blobs of old road tar on a hot summer day.
i don't know what the 'claw' things are, they just happened.
the sketches from the bead book.

amigurumi of all sorts
how excited was i to find these at an estate sale last week?
each of these old cotton amigurumi is just about 3" tall.
who wouldn't want to make some of these?
i am making them out of glass.
there were more but the teen girlies got 'em before they were photographed.
inspirational doodle scraps of paper - glued into the bead sketch book.

paillettes a go-go
the scarf around the neck of its' intended - the mysterious e.v.e.
photographed at her barista gig at the public market.
this scarf is so yummy and fuzzy and bright that it is impossible to photograph...
the yarn glows and the vintage paillettes reflect the flash... i wish you could see how riotously pretty and fun it is.
knitting the paillettes in was a gas, just fish a knit loop thru the paillette with a crochet hook and knit on.
i think i will make a black hat that uses aluminum popcan tops instead of paillettes as a blingy accent.
this packette of vintage 20mm silver paillettes came from an estate sale.
i have a few hundred more to use up, but if you want some there is a seller on ebay called 'sequins galore' who has a huge selection.
