Working Weekend

Although the sun is shining I have made this a work weekend.
I really needed a big block of time to get some sets of cards completed.

I have been adding unusual embellishments all week. Pieces are calling to me and before I know it a resin embellishment is sitting in a bird cage.

But I have not lost my sense of humour. I have no qualms about a funny quote with a vintage image.

And there are monkeys everywhere. Too many cards to post now.

I am going to enjoy the Sunday solitude.

If you have time, here is what the beading gang showcased this week.

Are there color combinations that are always in style? Black and white seems to fit that description.

Tammy reminds you about a thriving jewelry community and how to keep up with news on her site.

Art Bead Scene teams up with Margie Deeb for a color challenge.

Cyndi's new bead embroidered necklace has everything but a name!

Carmi restrings a strand of cheap plastic beads with a wristlet. Repurposing is great!

Inspired by the color of summer gardens in a seed catalog, Cindy creates a new bead.

Celebrate the many uses of Ice Resin with Melanie's blog latest blog series which highlights some of her newest works

Jean reviews Margie Deeb's (pretty fabulous) Spring/Summer 2010 Color Report.

Have you heard of Zulugrass? Find out about the wonderful industry that's helping to support the Maasai, and enter to win a piece!

Lorelei is still a little nervous to try her hand at using resin. But the pendant in this necklace turned out nice at any rate.

Jean is embroiled in a conundrum--help a girl out!

Working with Jill MacKay's new line of decorative bezels, Andrew experiments with resin and takes advantage of the bezels' deep walls.
