Stringing Fall 2010 Blog Carnival


Stringing Fall 2010
Blog Carnival

The new fall issue of Stringing Magazine has just hit the newsstands.  Danielle Fox and her crew have totally re-vamp the issue.  The photos are bigger with close-up shots and the photography layouts are stylish.  The issue is absolutely beautiful.

My cover necklace is called "Give A Hoot".  My inspiration for this piece was the owl centerpiece was handcrafted by Sandhra Lee.  She creates fabulous pendants.  Be sure to visit her Etsy shop.  I am often inspired by the materials I am designing with at the time.  I do not sketch or pre plan my designs.  I like to call myself a free flow designer. 


  
My bracelet is number 7.  It was created with Vintaj Natural Brass.  The turquoise colored stones are matte crackle agate and carnelian nuggets.


I would like to thank Michelle Mach for 
hosting the "Blog Carnival" 

You can win one of three great prizes:

1.  A copy of the fall issue of Stringing magazine.
2.  A handmade porcelain pendant and coordinating beads by Gaea.
3.  A small goodie pack of filigree, gemstones and other findings from Rings & Things.

All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog or any of the  blogs listed below.  Please check Michelle's blog for rules.  

Below is a list of the fall Stringing contributors that are participating in the "Blog Carnival."  Please visit their site for more information on their designs that are featured in  this issue.

    I love your bracelet--that looks like one of your signature pieces with all the Vintaj and gemstones. (I can usually spot a DYM original a mile away!) Feminine/elegant with a bit of drama.

    Thanks for joining the Stringing blog carnival!

    The designs are great. Like you, I am a freeform designer. I can't sketch to save my soul. The few times I tried to map out a design, it didn't turn out right.

  35. Shai WilliamsAugust 22, 2010 at 6:04 PM

    Both of your designs are gorgeous and knowing that you are a freeform designer is very inspiring. I have tried to journel ideas down as recommended but I feel so stymied that way. So it is great to know that others feel that way too.
