The Seductress


An Art of Temptation she is. Should I or Shouldn’t I. Will she tempt you with her beautiful rounded Onyx curves, or her enchanting cat’s eye’s? Will you be drawn in by her sinfully lustful red and her alluring gold and amethyst colors?

The Seductress is my entry piece for the March EBW challenge, themed Temptation. To view other challenge entries by EBW members, type EBWC in the search option on Etsy. A mosaic of all challenge entries will be posted to the EBW blog after March 5th and you can vote on your favorite by visiting http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com between March 9th and the 15th.

The power of positive thought!

I have to tell you, I see so much negativity in the world. It's everywhere, the news, tv, magazines, and worst of all the people in our lives. I just visited a couple other blogs today (none that I follow, I wanted to clear that up) and it was all complaints and negativity. I don't want to hear about problems, I want to be inspired! I want to feel good after reading a blog, not feel all your negative energy. Truly don't we get too much of that as it is.
Let us try to look at the positive in everything, and spread some positive, uplifting energy everywhere. I really use to think that one person really can't make a difference, but I was wrong. One person can make all the difference in the world. So instead of being Anti-anything....let's all try to be Pro-something...

Every Step I take I'm going to plant a column of light that goes straight up to god!!

I made it into a another Treasury!

It's always a happy feeling when someone includes your work in their treasury! I'm so grateful that I have been given this wonderful gift, the gift of creativity. I have been beading for about 4 1/2 years total. Before that I had never even heard of bead stores or beading magazines. It's so wierd how that happens, just one day your whole life changes. When I look back now it's as if I was walking around with blindfolds on, and then I took them off, or actually somebody took them off of me. Does anyone else feel that way? It just seems the deeper I get into my own creativity, what ever that may be, the black and white screen turned to full color.
I'm grateful today!!

Tutorials

Well I'm thinking about doing different tutorials. I've been contacted by several different people about teaching classes, and I used to teach classes at a local bead store, however they closed down this summer. I work right out of my home, and it's little with really bad parking, so I really didn't want to do it there. I've recently noticed many Etsy shops have different tutorials and decided to look into it. You may in the near future start seeing different type tutorials in my shop...it's an idea!
