Tuesday's Triangle on Wednesday
I finished this week's triangle on Tuesday, but not in time for sufficient daylight to take photographs, so I didn't list this until this afternoon...
Even with good lighting, the gorgeous quality of the magenta beads does not come through in the photographs. Oh well. I'm a professional beadweaver, not a professional photographer.
Unlike just about everything else I bead, this was not done in peyote stitch. Rather, this was beaded using the brick stitch, which allows for "stiffer" work than peyote. With a piece that's over 2" wide, stiff becomes a necessity; you wouldn't want the corners of the triangles turning into floppy ears, now, would you ;)
Thanks for stopping in! Now be well and getting going, my friends!

Christmas in July and BAO Item of the Week
Just like our parents did on Christmas morning, I'm going to make you wait to open the presents. First, you get to see my pick for this week's BAO Item of the Week.
I made this brown (actually matte bronze) and black version for a customer and thought, why not let the customer choose her favorite two colors. Order and pay for this listing by midnight on Sunday, and you not only get a cuff in YOUR colors but a matching ring (that's a $22 value). Some deal, don't you think!

You can see the fourteen other BAO Items of the Week on the Bead Art Originals blog:
When I got home from lunch this afternoon, I found all these lovelies in my mail box:
Gorgeous creations from LisaPetersArt in New Jersey.
Resin buttons from ButtonsbyMcAnaraks in Scotland.
and last, but oh so certainly not least, wonderful, delectable, delicious marzipan, straight from Germany, courtesy of Try to Be.
Sabine offered to send me a marzipan care package when she heard that German marzipan was hard to come by out here in the Southwestern desert. In return, I shared some American raku/ceramic goodness with her in the form of cabochons by MAKUstudio and LisaPeters. The package to Germany took no time at all to get there and so Sabine had already transformed these cabs into beaded beauties by the time my marzipan arrived:
I am so very impressed with the treatment Sabine gave each of these cabochons. Such talent!!!
Did I mention the Fire Mountain Gems Catalog arrived in that same (very crowded) mail box this afternoon? I haven't had time to sit with it yet...it deserves my full attention ;)
Now be well and get going!!! :D
