Bowl of Dodecahedrons

These are a bunch of the dodecahedrons I made for a recent show.

Art in the Yard

A show at the Parmele House B & B in Plattsmouth, NE tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. That is what I have been getting ready for lately. I have been making enough dodecahedrons to fill a wooden bowl. Dodecahedrons are a 12-sided three-dimensional figure. Each side is the shape of a pentagon and each one takes at least 30 beads. I have been making them in all sizes, shapes and colors. I have made a few "double" dodecahedrons where there is a little dodecahedron inside of a larger dodecahedron. Last night after school got over for the summer, I made a quintuplet dodecahedron. I am hoping to take pictures tomorrow at the show to share with everyone. Thanks!

Frog Update

The frog has one cabochon sewn on. I started with red beads and each row is a different color--I got all the way to blue in the rainbow. I need to get purple 15s so I can do one more row. The frog is going to use all the colors of the rainbow, but I am going to make circles of one color at a time. Similar to the circles on Lola (purple, green, and orange). Stay tuned for more updates. : )

I Have a Plan

I have a plan for the frog design. Now that I have a direction, I am sure it won't take me long to get the frog finished. I still don't have a bead sewn on the frog. : )

The Frog

Still looks the same as it did two weeks ago. I did get a double strand mother's bracelet done over the weekend. I also worked on organizing my purchases from the Omaha Bead Bazaar. I am tired of not having any energy when the school day is over. I have been falling asleep way earlier than normal (any where from 4 in the afternoon to 8 in the evening).

Yahtzee Anyone

This was my first 3-dimensional piece. I actually have eight dice inside of the die that I made using right angle weave.

Rhumba Rainbow

Well, I finished the Rhumba bracelet. There are 35 discs in the bracelet with 4 mm Swarovski helix AB crystals between each one. Enjoy!

Side Tracked

I just picked up the new Beadwork magazine and got distracted by the Rhumba bracelet by Jamie Hogsett. So I have been making circular peyote disks in rainbow colors. Soon I will have pictures.

Thanks!

I haven't beaded anything in a week. : ( I hope to get some beading done on Sunday. Thanks, Jodie for nominating my blog!

Next beaded project

I found a bean bag pattern for a frog. Yes, I am sure that a lot of you could predict that I would bead a frog. So far I have the eyes glued on and one dichro cabochon glued on--no beads on it yet.
