http://vcartisanoriginals.blogspot.com/2015/02/from-shoe-carousel-to-hammer-carousel.html
VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot. The zealous contemplations of a confessed bead hoarder. Sunday, February 15, 2015. From Shoe Carousel to Hammer Carousel. As some of you may know, I recently visited a thrift shop and purchased a shoe carousel for $5. I had this. Brilliant scheme to put it in my studio! I had the idea to turn it into a pliers rack, because well. I luff my pliers and I have tons! This is sort of what I bought, except it only had 2 tiers and was wonky and wobbly. So I decided to hang...

VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot. The zealous contemplations of a confessed bead hoarder. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. March and April Shenanigans. I forgot to post my end-of-month blog for March. Geez. Here it is almost May, too. What did I do in March? Hmm let's see- I did a few pieces for magazines (metal, to be seen later); I organized my studio a bit, umm. I worked on a newsletter article and a large art piece necklace! Then I took a much-needed vacation. First things first: I did this:. This neck...

VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot. The zealous contemplations of a confessed bead hoarder. Monday, June 2, 2014. I'm working with the wonderful Wubbers University this summer on a series of basic stitch tutorials and this is the first! Cubic Right Angle Weave: The nemesis of many a beader! It's really not difficult at all, and hopefully I can help! So, now that I've gotten your attention, I'd like to wish my wonderful son, Thomas, congratulations! Now: I need stitch ideas!

Wow, here it is almost July and I totally forgot to post my May review! Sorry, sorry. I've been busy. :). As most of you know, I was invited to join Back2Bead.com. S Glam Squad, and I very happily said yes! So far we have experimented with his etched drums. And his etched daggers. Beads and my favorite: Magic Firepolished. They're so pretty. And the daggers! For $...

VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot : August 2015
http://vcartisanoriginals.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot. The zealous contemplations of a confessed bead hoarder. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Through June and July, and into August. Wowzers, I've missed a post or two, eh? Sorry- I've been very busy working on establishing a new career (alongside the beady biz). A new career, you say? Books are my escape from stress: When things get hard (aka finances,etc.), I dive into my beloved books and live someone else's life for a while. That won't change- I'm still teaching (as a mat...

I promised my beady peeps a free tutorial for blingy earrings, didn't I? You didn't think I'd forgotten, did you? These earrings are so quick they take less than oh. 20 minutes to make. Here's a closer shot of the earrings. They're simple yet cute, and they swing nicely on Wire Guardian findings. These aren't just for necklaces anymore! I usual...

VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot. The zealous contemplations of a confessed bead hoarder. Saturday, November 29, 2014. November is gone already? Where does the time go? November was a good month! I made a few new things, got a few new tools, had a great Thanksgiving with my family and had some birthdays! My darling girl turned 17 and I turned -cough- we don't need to know. :D. I had a lot of fun with metal this month! I made a leaf for my Mother in Law's birthday! And my Etsy shop. Birthdays were h...

VC Artisan Originals - The Bead Zealot. The zealous contemplations of a confessed bead hoarder. Saturday, September 27, 2014. Photo Evolution - My Style. I'm in a great group of beady ladies and gentlemen on Facebook and one of the recent topics was the age-old favorite for jewelry makers: How do you take photos? My color of choice? Slate grey. It's an awesome neutral! And neutral colored card stocks. So yes. I thought dark fabric would be dramatic. It was, alright! I think a lot of my problem was that I...
