The latest spring 2007 issue of Stringing Magazine (presented by Interweave Press's Beadwork) has just hit the newsstands! It is wonderful as usual, with the addition of some new helpful departments.Stringing is full of creative and inventive design ideas for everyone. The magazine includes techniques and tips for the beginner and loads of inspiration for the advanced armchair stringer!
I totally support the ambitious minds behind the magazine. The staff really devotes themselves to presenting a consistently quality publication that expresses diverse approaches to jewelry design. Everyone should run out and buy their very own copy or get a subscription NOW!
Right: Here is my project called, Treasure Net. The original idea arose from a trip to Coney Island with my sister, Sheila. Someone cast out a net and pulled up an assortment of interesting objects. What nets are used for, I asked myself. To capture. Perhaps to capture a little romance, attention or whatever the heart treasures. I incorporated a really delightful lampwork tube made by Maria of Lost Marbles Lampwork, a fanciful small lampwork rondelle by Patti Cahill of Dyed in the Fire Designs, and an etched shell ring from Lillypilly Designs.
Left: Don't forget to check out my necklace design, Smile Rising under the FREE online projects! The title of the piece is taken from a song by The Weepies called, Take It From Me. What I was trying to do with this necklace is capture that particular feeling shared between two would-be lovers. The warmth comes not only of a spring day... but the awkward sunlight radiating from within as well.
