Day 27 and 28

By | March 31, 2012

The challenge for day 27 was to make a hair accessory.    That didn’t happen, although I have made several hair accessories in the past year.   For me, they don’t seem to sell very well.   Perhaps I will whip up a pair of button bobby pins tomorrow.

Even though I didn’t make a hair doo dad, I did make earrings, two pairs in fact.  These were an experiment to see if I could duplicate a Tila bracelet I saw on vacation.    They are kind of cute, but not exactly what I was going for, so I tried again with different beads.   I am really pleased with how these turned out.  I swapped the 11’s for 15’s and the 8 for one of the 1.5mm cubes.    It makes a much nicer circle.     I will definitely be playing around with this some more.

The challenge for day 28 was to make a piece inspired by an animal.   That didn’t really happen either.   I worked on bezelling some tiny rivolis for a pair of earrings that are sort of peacocky.    But now I can’t find the tops of the earrings… oops.    They have to be here somewhere.   Instead I will show you a photo of the super cool beaded photo holder I got a few weeks ago to add to my beaded animal collection. I am nuts over these African wire and bead animals.   I have started a bit of a collection.   So far I have a blow fish, a fabulous hot pink rooster, a tiny elephant, a snake, and this little chameleon.   I keep an eye out for these things when I travel and when I am out and about.   They are harder to find that they once were. If you know of any places to look, I am all ears.

I also made another variation of the Tila earrings from the day before, but I have neglected to snap a picture of them.   I will get on that tomorrow if there is enough sun when I return from teaching.    Here is a cute kitten to distract you.

We also love African beaded animals! The main online source for authentic African beaded animals is http://www.beadedanimals.net. Unfortunately, there is a US company that has taken this original African art form to China to increase their profits and this takes away much needed livelihood from many of the African crafters.
