I was inspired by another beader who has a collection of antique stuff from all over the world! For this project, i used my assorted stones, wooden flat rounds recycled from a mangyan choker, and a few glass beads. The tear-drop pendants are jasper in different colors.

They call it "indian beads" - flat colored-glass beads with antique gold "trim" painted. It would be lovely to add more colorful glass beads and gold spacers, but i want an all-hearts long necklace as my first project. The pendant is from an old (oversized) charm bracelet. I used ga22 wire to link them up.This one is of assorted wooden beads (Cebu) with different shades of green semi-precious

Well, there weren't too many people, but it was exciting and fun enough to have my creative sister and business-minded brother to have a stall set-up for our bead stuff last weekend. My sister Mariela and her creative set-upDidn't know how beautiful Mariels pieces were until I saw them: One of a kind pretty colored crochet accessories attracted pretty young fashionistas as they tried them on.

I marched on stage with honors two weeks ago and i am glad the whole thesis ordeal is over!Do I have time for crafts now. As for my beads, no projects yet. But i've got 1000 watts of ideas for summer. I've listed them down and couldn't wait til i get my hands dirty with threads and wires and clay and the

I never had the luxury of time to make beads since my post-grad-thesis days. But the typhoon last week made me go back to tinkering with the pinks and pearls. Made this with color craft wire, pearls and glass beads.

As requested, i'm making more loopy earrings from my loose tourquoise stone chipsnote: i made new, slightly bigger hooks for this.red and gold themed neck wear - i used gold jewelry wire "colour craft".Waiting for my gallon of glass beads from Ma when she comes home from the US soon.

When i run out of ideas, i simply take out my box of assorted glass beads and play with colors, get new wires and what is supposed to come out as a bracelet, turns into a chunky pendant...I recently went to my hobby supply shop where i got three "color craft" wire spools gauge 20 of different colors. On my way home i passed by huge hardware supply store where i found the cheapest copper wires -

I don't know how to call this, but it reminds me of a peacock. it's a favorite. I used jewelry wire for the loop and nice flat-teardrop cloisone with a mix of glass beads and fancy crystal greens..the "kidney" loop is approximately two inches, and the drops are about 1/4 to an inch long.....That was an attempt to show how i did it...somehow :-)

this one's fresh, i would actually say it's not even done yet...total length from hook to drop: 3"...think it needs something hanging (like a teardrop bead) on the center...? I used tiny pearls of different sizes and shapes and antique-finished chain, jewelry wires.

...I made lots of earrings, around 20 pairs all. Gave some out to sell, and some i gave as gift. Didn't reach my camera anymore, too bad i wouldn't be able to share it in this journal. But i'm making more, they loved the "peacock" series and the one similar to the stoned-loop earring...I'll make sure i post a photo when i'm done with the nice ones.

I'm almost done with the gallery - doing it whenever i got time in between homework - usually before going to sleep, i edit my photos in photoshop.So i made another dangle, simple one. a few tiny faux-crystal beads in aqua blue. This time i found my antique-finish loops, pins and hooks so here: I have to do something about the resolution, there wasn't enough light to get a good shot of this.

Yesterday I had my hair styled. 'bob-cut' that's really shorter now, like it was in my college days. The weather had me do it.So i thought i should accessorize again and make MORE nice earrings for myself.Here's a nice pair of simple loop earrings i made with simple jewelry wire. The loop is about an inch in diameter, and i placed tiny assorted stones ('rocks', as my nephew would refer to them)

So after lunch instead of spending another afternoon in watching international news, i took prepared some dough and started moulding tiny little flowers, baked them in a small toaster oven...There you go.

The following is an MSN WOMEN Article: Keeping your life simple is a daily process. It is about prioritizing your needs, making goals (no matter what they might be), and continuing to focus on those goals even in the face of adversity. It is also about accepting that if you "fall off the wagon," you can, and will, eventually get back on. From paring down your stuff to nurturing your spirit to

In Memory of our dearest Lola Maling - by Jack Ealdama: With you we mourn passing of Lola Maling. There were a few times that Lola Maling asked us to type something for her, such as some bible verses. Below is a pasted copy of the last one she had me type in Aug. 2002. It's an inspiring poem. I managed to save it in a folder in my computer. I think this was from a handwritten copy she kept in

For a long time, it has been assumed that the Chinese were not important glass or glass beadmakers. It was thought that van der Sleen (1973: 99, 102) had the last word when he wrote that Chinese museum officials told him that China never exported glass beads. There is little doubt that he was told that; his mistake was believing it. One problem is that the Chinese themselves were not interested

Five hours from Baguio, Kabayan is a town known for ancient mummies. Went there with my cultural heritage classmates for some cultural investigation. We stayed at the National Museum in Kabayan where they house the "laughing mummy" (featured in Discovery Channel). Of course there were beads...lots of them. Walking around the small town, i found this piece of colorful necklace at the town fiesta

Why was i hanging around the UST museum? i was waiting for my temporary transcript. Besides, i had to do a report on my museum visit. It's a great place to go to. A few pieces on display, they looked so common at first glance, exposed to beaded things at malls and fashion stores these days - but when i took a longer look, i found treasure. These ethnic adornments like beaded necklaces and

The following true story captured our heart. It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house. A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold. The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for

HAY. what a day! i accompanied mommy to the airport lunch time, then went straight to divisoria and bought more beading supplies.... i was soooo tempted to buy beaded curtains!!! one set (around 1 meter wide by 1 1/2 meters high) costs only 150 pesos! these are made of nice, tiny plastic shiny beads of varying shapes- but only one color per curtain. we didn't buy cause the mall was already

If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax, I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I've been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously, take more chances, take more trips. I'd climb more mountains, and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm

Pearls and Amber Put perfume and cosmetics on first, then allow time for the perfume to settle before putting on the jewelry. Perfume can destroy both pearls and amber. Perfume will coat amber with a fine crackled layer that will be very difficult to remove. If your amber has been coated, you will need to go to a lapidary/gem store for Rx. Amber can easily break or shatter if knocked onto a

Beading has been partners with fiber since the first of humankind pulled a piece of vine from a plant, picked up a rock, shell or seed with a natural perforation, and strung the vine through the perforated object to tie around her/his neck and wear. It does not matter whether that person wore the object as personal adornment, to imbue her/him with powers or for other symbolic reasons; this was

All text and graphics & copy; Emily Hackbarth 1999 about.com There is something very appealing about wearing beads on your feet, well, to me anyway! It makes me feel like a princess or a tzarina or something. :-) Anklets are all very well and good, but I thought I'd like to try making something just a little bit more elaborate. Not too elaborate, this "footlet" (trust me there is no good
