At long last, it's time for another round of the Bead Soup Blog Party. We pair up, swap beads, create, and reveal our goodies en masse. This time, Lori Anderson decided to add a twist: hoarding. For a long time, I convinced myself I wasn't a bead hoarder, but looking at the beautiful handmade beads I've collected over the years is evidence to the contrary. We were asked to choose a special hoarded bead and send it to our partner. I was very lucky to be paired with Alice Craddick. She loves color. Although I usually stick to certain palettes, I, too, am drawn to colorful delights. Here's the z ..read more

Stacked Earrings Challenge - the fifth and final round!

I am sad to say we're finally at the end of the Stacked Earrings Challenge started by Malin de Koning. This is the 5th and final round! The original idea was for a small group of jewelry makers to send each other a selection of beads. The challenge is to create at least one pair of earrings with at least 3 types of the beads from the pack. This time, it was Heidi's turn from Ex Post Facto Jewelry. I personally found Heidi's pack of beads so fun! I immediately made two pairs and sadly didn't have a lot of opportunity to make nearly as many as I wanted. In all, I finished three pairs, but I'll ..read more

New Made to Order Rustic Roses!

Hello again and happy March! It's already feeling like Spring on the eastcoast (well, in the South!), and I'm pretty sure it's getting me in a colorful mood. I love all sorts of colors from the softest to the boldest. But I usually stick to using earthy and natural colors with the occasional burst of gem-tones. I was a little bit surprised when someone described my handmade beads as colorful! I hadn't really thought about it, but I guess they're right. Sometimes you don't see your own work in the same way. It's good to have perspective. So, with color in mind, I recently launched five new Rus ..read more

New at Beady Eyed Bunny: Made to Order

If you've been keeping up with my shop and Facebook page recently, you might have noticed a few little changes. I'm now offering Made to Order beads in my shop and planning to expand the range very soon. Many of you already know I'm more than happy to accept custom orders (if you want to share in my art, I want you to be happy!), but not everyone passing by my shop knows that. I make most of my sales on Etsy. I think it's a great platform, but unless you dig through a shop's entire Policies, Announcements and more, then you're likely to miss out on some of what they offer. We artists all do t ..read more

Hello good readers! As you've probably guessed by now, this post is going to be all about packaging. I'm going to show you a few little tricks to make some quick but very pretty paper pouches.

In the very beginning, Stage One consisted of fretting over things breaking and not worrying too much about how the p ..read more

Today is the reveal for the most recent instalment of the History Hop. Our inspiration this time was the Paleolithic era. This was a time in early history when primitive humans began to use tools and create art. There's more info on the period in my original post here. Before I show you what I made, I'd like to thank all of you for taking part! I'm excited to see what each of you made. I hope you had as much fun creating for this challenge as I did! I drew most of my inspiration from the cave paintings and simple tools of the era. I kept thinking back to the materials primitive man might hav ..read more

Who doesn't love buttons? I wanted to make a button (that neat little photo that you can add to your blog to show all the fun things you're involved in) for this round of the History Hop, but I hadn't made one in so long, I wasn't sure I could! Apparently, things have gotten easier since I last made one, not harder. You can add the button below by copying the text in the box (below the image) and adding it to your blog. The image will show up wherever you put it on your blog and links back to the main History Hop: Paleolithic blog post - where a full list of participants will be added by the ..read more

Primitive stone tool. Source: Didier Descouens via Wikipedia. Welcome to another History Hop! The purpose of this blog hop is to create a piece of jewelry (or wearable art) inspired by a period in history. The idea for this edition of the History Hop came about while I was watching one of Werner Herzog's documentaries, Cave of Forgotten Dreams. I found myself enchanted by the primitive art and thought it would make a great theme for a jewelry hop! First, I'll explain a little bit about the era and share some inspiration I found during my research (more on the rules and how the hop wor ..read more
