Featured bead ... / Objava ...

  My clowny bead was featured on the Art Bead Scene Blog as a perfect pairing - used by Monique of A Half Baked Notion for her necklace. Monique created the necklace for the March ABS monthly challenge inspired by the oil on wood painting Birds on riser (by Adolf Dietrich, 1944).
  Monique, ki jo lahko spremljate na blogu A Half Baked Notion je za marčevski izziv na Art Bead Scene blogu izdelala ogrlico, ki je bila izbrana za popoln par - popolna kombinacija celotnega dizajna in posameznih ročno izdelanih perl/koščkov (art beads). Med temi perlami je tudi moja. Vidite jo na spodnji sliki (tista pisana).

You can find more about the necklace and the inspiration behind it on Monique's blog and on the Art Bead Scene blog. Well done, Monique!
Več o ogrlici in njeni inspiraciji lahko najdete na blogu od Monique in na strani Art Bead Scene bloga. Odlično opravljeno, Monique!

8th Bead Soup Blog Party - My Partner and a Teaser

  I'm finally back blogging! It was a tough period at my day job, but hopefully it's over and I'll have more time to create and to blog.

  Let's go back to a much more pleasant theme - the Bead Soup Blog Party. I still haven't presented my partner. Can you guess who she is? Well, nobody else but the hostess herself!!! Yes, my partner this year is Lori Anderson!!! I was supposed to have another partner, but she had to step out at the last minute and Lori was so kind to step in. Thank you, Lori, it's a real honour to be your partner :-)

  I'm quite a newbie in this world of jewelry making and you probably know Lori more than I do. I just can say it's my third time participating in the Bead Soup Blog Party and Lori and her parties opened a whole new world to me and I'm so grateful to her for this. 

  I'm amazed by Lori's sense of combining colors, textures and materials and her generosity in the beading world. 
  Just look at these (the pictures are borrowed from Lori's blog), aren't they gorgeous??!!!

  My soup for her is on its way over the Ocean and hopefully it will be soon in her hands. It is extremly difficult to challenge Lori with a bead soup, but I tried to make some beads that she usually don't use. I'm sooo curious to know what she thinks of my soup (hope she likes it) and what she will create with it!!!! 

  Do you want a teaser??? A sneak peek?? Hmmmm, here you have! Lori said she's a little tired of earth tones, so I've chosen some bright, summery ingredients.

  
   I wish Lori to feel better soon and to enjoy preparing and cooking this soup.



Be happy,
