All About Astra

http://astraether.livejournal.com/tag/write

February 27th, 2014 (08:28 pm). Ive had the writing bug again, for an older project that keeps resurfacing in my mind. Cant seem to let it go. But Im a little daunted by the scope, and the other day while Google-searching writing collaborations, I found this site: www.co-writers.com. It definitely piqued my interest - clearly Im not the only one enticed by the idea of a collaborative project! So heres what Im looking for, ideally, in a collaborative partner. 1) A pulse. Ha, I kid. Sort of. Mo...Want is n...

Astraea Designs - Unique Jewelry for Unique Women: September 2011

http://astraeadesigns.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 22, 2011. Tiger Eye Chainmail Necklace. I finished this piece this morning. I encased a flat brown mother-of-pearl disc in chainmail (nope, no glue or adhesive - the only thing holding it in are all those jump rings! And then wire-wrapped a bunch of round tiger eye beads to augment it. I liked the look of this heavy, industrial bronze chain, which I used to finish the necklace off. Not bad for a few hours' work, huh? This piece can be found on my Etsy site, here:. Links to this post.

Astraea Designs - Unique Jewelry for Unique Women: October 2011

http://astraeadesigns.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 20, 2011. Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Red as Blood" Gothic Choker. First, I have to give props to Laura Zeiner of Stick Lizard Designs. She's the one who came up with the seed-bead pattern for this gorgeous Victorian-style necklace. I took her class at Nomadic Notions. And learned how to make this piece, and so far, I've made three! And this seemed like the sort of thing she might wear. You really can't go wrong with red and black! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Where to Find Me.

Astraea Designs - Unique Jewelry for Unique Women: Fairy Tales

http://astraeadesigns.blogspot.com/2013/03/fairy-tales.html

Friday, March 15, 2013. I've been captured by fairy tales lately. Maybe it's because we've been watching "Once Upon a Time," based on the recommendations of friends. We got the first season on DVD and we're a few episodes away from the end. It's pretty good, and I enjoy the fairy tale theme. but there's a part of me that wishes it were just a little. Darker. More surreal. Unsettling. The way Grimm's fairy tales were originally meant to be. Something. Let the idea blossom. Not much, I suppose. That's ...

Faltering Right Out the Gate - All About Astra

http://astraether.livejournal.com/201020.html

Faltering Right Out the Gate. November 5th, 2012 (08:12 am). Apparently its a good idea to have a strong plotline and characters you enjoy writing about for NaNoWriMo. Because otherwise you start to falter just a few days in. Im now faced with the task of deciding whether to scrap my first chapter and start fresh, or keep going with what Ive got. Neither option sounds terribly appealing. I know the point is to just write and not worry so much about quality, but you still have to like. True, and -. If you...

Astraea Designs - Unique Jewelry for Unique Women: July 2011

http://astraeadesigns.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 25, 2011. I've been woefully neglecting this blog for some time. Not that I haven't been making jewelry - I have, but I just keep forgetting to post about it! So, in the interests of keeping this current, here's a seed-beading project I did. I've been avoiding seed-beading for so long. afraid to go over to the "dark side," I guess. Who knew it was an addiction waiting to happen? I have seed-beading patterns dancing through my head at night when I try to sleep! Links to this post.

Saturday, May 4, 2013. Season of the Witch. Sarah Lynne Bowman modeling Gothic-style. It's great being back in Austin, for a whole multitude of reasons, but jewelry-wise, it's great being back among a network of friends who will model for me! I posted an album of our shoot on Facebook; hopefully this link will work even for non-FBers:. Season of the Witch. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
