I received a mailing from Teresa Sullivan notifying me of her upcoming exhibition at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Arizona from January 22nd to March 14th. Entitled Station Identification, it is a solo exhibit narrating “the stories of people discovering their own special powers and abilities. From the super heroines found in comic books and science fiction novels to the real mentors in her life, the tiny, delicate beads that are used to create her pieces become transformed into bold, self supporting artworks.”

Teresa and I met at a Split Rock Arts session with Joyce Scott. I love how she’s incorporated what we learned in that week into her work.

As promised, we are marking down the items remaining in the Etsy shop, except for the panels, the postcards of the panels, and I believe one doll.  Everything other than that is 25% off – please consider making a purchase, all proceeds are going to the American Lung Association.  To read more about this project, please read an earlier entry I wrote on this blog.  Here’s some images of items for sale for you to enjoy!

Here’s some of what I gave away as beaded Christmas presents in addition to the O-rings I gave to coworkers.  First are right angle weave pendants with a Japanese chevron in the middle.  One side is squared and stiffened with red charlottes (the chevrons have a bit of red), and the other with green.

These are the classic 12-sided bead ball with sequins.  My small modification, these use 15s bracketing two slightly cupped sequins facing each other (for dimension).  These are intended as tsotchkes.  If I wanted to use them as a pendant, I would put a soldered jump ring on a corner as I was working.  The sequins would make it difficult-to-impossible to simply string this on a cord.

Other gifts were a vase with a herringbone drape, and one of my starfish.

Yes, I broke out the sequins.

Carpet part 2

Okay, my strip is now about 2.5″ wide. I have used nearly 1/3 of these beads; I have about 100g of them. To use all of the same bead, I should be less than 1/4 into my stash of this color. Much less — I have another 3.5″ to go. SO. I have very, very close to the same color in 11s (about 70g), so to make the pile in my next pass, I will have a 10 and an 11 for each fringe. The 11 will be the turnaround bead.

I need to stock up on ivory seeds again!
