I Made it Myself: Going Postal

http://janelockjewellery.blogspot.com/2013/09/going-postal.html

I Made it Myself. Monday, 16 September 2013. I spent all morning mustering the will/energy/nerve to get dressed and go out to the Post Office only to find it closed. A Scottish holiday apparently. No one told me. So instead of smugly shopping for a few vegetables and olive oil I head straight for the wine counter and back home again. Posted by Jane Lock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I draw inspiration from the colours and textures that surround me and from the beads themselves. New Pattern and Kit...

I Made it Myself. Thursday, 22 August 2013. It was sad to leave the Bead Shop Edinburgh earlier. This year, but happily I can still get my bead fix from the Bead Shop Scotland. Online shop and HQ in Haddington. The old Stockbridge site is presently being transformed into a cycle shop, so I doubt that I will ever have cause to go inside*, but it is good to see a new business taking shape. I meanwhile, have taken up part time employment in another local shop; Caoba. September 16th is the day in the UK.

I Made it Myself: Drifting away

http://janelockjewellery.blogspot.com/2012/10/drifting-away.html

I Made it Myself. Sunday, 21 October 2012. I am enjoying playing with Tumblr. The short, sharp, visual posting style far better suits my short attention span. I'll keep this one running though; sometimes one pic and a link aren't enough. Posted by Jane Lock. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Handmade jewellery; bead-woven using tiny Japanese seed beads, Swarovski crystal and pearls, semi- precious stones and sterling silver. For new designs and work-in-progress find me on Facebook JaneLock Jewellery.

I Made it Myself. Monday, 3 February 2014. Notes on a Front Cover necklace. Based as it is on someone else's work I had never intended to produce a tutorial for my lucite flowers Luau necklace. But then the publishers Running Press opted to put it on the front cover of their edition of my book The Art of Beadwork. Cue a bunch of understandably frustrated beaders who could not find any specific project details inside. My necklace was inspired by Laura McCabe’s Keishi Pearl Necklace. The Art of Beadweaving.

http://janelockjewellery.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

I Made it Myself. Friday, 10 August 2012. Earlier this year I hit a wall beading-wise. No new ideas, a loss of direction, an all-round beading malaise. I tried crocheting my way out of it and am now the proud owner of a blanket-sized Granny Square. Next cure up knitting. Think of any gadget I might own and each of them now has a woolly cover, because no iPhone should be allowed out without a coat. Especially not during a Scottish summer. But still I need to bead! Everyday, thanks to the OTTBS blog. I've ...

I Made it Myself: Everyday Absurdities

http://janelockjewellery.blogspot.com/2012/03/everyday-absurdities.html

I Made it Myself. Thursday, 22 March 2012. After placing an order with John Lewis for a new washing machine I found myself in the following position:. Sitting on the kitchen floor, leaning against the door of the old one to keep the water in while it finishes its cycle. It's not very clean down here. I probably ought to do some housework. Or blog. And recording the fact on my Facebook profile. I haven't tweeted about it yet, though I still might. The housework can wait a while longer. Posted by Jane Lock.

I Made it Myself: The Art of Inactivity

http://janelockjewellery.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-art-of-inactivity.html

I Made it Myself. Wednesday, 31 July 2013. The Art of Inactivity. In January 2012 I was approached by Quarto Publishing to write a book on beadweaving. I wrote it, they titled it The Art of Beadweaving. The Art of Beadwork. In the US) and it will be published in September/October this year*. Just as I began to get despondent about my inactivity along they came, together with Pinterest. Proving I'm not really an artist. But I’m an artist. And artists are allowed to be flakey aren’t they?
