http://bead-mused.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated. I'm still here. Life rolls on. My new mantra? The trouble is you always think you have time. It's been attributed to Buddha but it's really from Jack Korfield in his work Buddha's Little Instruction Book. You can find it on Amazon. I haven't read the book but the quote fits right now. I've been beading. Yes! I had purchased some kits from Beads East. And that's the scoop. Sometimes the beads get the better of me! Bead&Button Mas...

Beadweaver: October 2012
http://beadweaver.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Weaving Beads with Susan Mandel. Saturday, October 27, 2012. How do I get my pattern onto that darn piece of cloth? I've been experimenting with a number of ways to design surfaces for bead embroidery. Translation: How do I get my pattern onto that darn piece of cloth? A Beading onto a different, lighter fabric and attaching to desired surface: I've tried this method too and it does have it's place (some designs actually call for this). I want the surface of the goal fabric to be visible so I'm a lit...

Revisions: Peyote Hex Chain. | Blue Pencil Beading
http://www.aliciaaho.com/2014/07/30/revisions-peyote-hex-chain
An edited approach to jewelry design. Revisions: Peyote Hex Chain. Once more we play our dangerous game. A game called: Surely This Could Be Better. Today’s piece is one I’ve just finished. It’s a Diane Fitzgerald variation — you’re going to see a lot of Diane Fitzgerald variations, because making peyote shapes pleases my fingers in some wordless way. Something to consider when I’m in the Sulky Land Between Projects, where nothing feels inspired but my hands still want something to do. It’s actuall...

An edited approach to jewelry design. Wednesday Workshop: Contrast Within a Gradient. Today’s Wednesday Workshop. Is all about color. As I broaden my ability to work with various color palettes, I’ve been leaning on color gradients to help me find my bearings in this strange new world. For instance, in this peyote hex chain. Experiment from earlier this year. Peyote bezeled lucite cabochon with herringbone embellishment. Brick-stitched bezels around a central bead, as in this Fusion Beads tutorial. Proud...

The Queen of the Night | Blue Pencil Beading
http://www.aliciaaho.com/2015/04/03/the-queen-of-the-night
An edited approach to jewelry design. The Queen of the Night. The trick, of course, is that a great artist must be both. Mozart is able to find artistic inspiration in everything. A cruel tirade from his mother-in-law becomes one of history’s most well-known. Pieces, commonly known as the Queen of the Night aria (though technically she has another aria in the opera as well):. Look at those colors! The celestial dome of stars above and sunset clouds of chaos beneath! It is — not bad! A little imprecise in...
