The Little Thief

My little cat Pascal had taken all of my newly filled vials of Pixie dust and hidden them away.  I was going mad trying to find them!

They were all filled and sealed and ready to be beaded and made into necklaces.

Here is a bunch of them, but they need more beads and doo-dahs on them to be complete.

I want each one to look like this one with the beads and then little other beads will hang down like the white iridescent owl bead too.

I have also made some new ones that I filled with pixie dust and dried flowers and feathers. I want to try and think of something special to do with these, but they were missing as well.

Finally!  I found them!  Here is Pascal trying to sneak them away again-No!  He had taken each one in his mouth and hid it under his favourite book shelf that he used to hide under when he was a little feral kitten.  Now that he is such a big cat, only his head fits, but he sure can sneak stuff under there.  This photo cracks me up!

Just as I was finishing taking these photos I noticed someone tugging at the strings on the beaded Pixie Dust Vials and trying to run away with them.  I thought it was Pascal, but it was his baby brother Glastonbury!  No!  You all have toys to play with.  Leave my stuff alone! This is just too cute!  It is also driving me crazy...

New Beadwork and Some New Photographs

The real "Perdita"


My little takes on Perdita with my Perdita hair Jewelry





Of course I had to take a few "spooky" photos while I have all the camera equipment out and myself semi put together!


I have been inspired by Pre-Raphaelite painter Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys' "Perdita" painting. When I accidentally hennaed my hair bright, light red instead of the regular auburn I decided it was time to do something with it. So, I finished some new hair jewelry-a matching set of beaded headband, 2 barrettes, and 4 hair pins all which feature glass, crystal and ivory freshwater pearls.


Then, I needed a model for the pieces which would have to be me because I always do thing on the spur of the moment. I have my dear Miss Havisham(my head form covered in tulle) for help, but I know when I am looking at purchasing something I want to see how it looks on a real person so here I am-again. I so wish I had a really great "Pre-Raphaelite" beauty like so many folks I know on hand for photos! I just don't have this look. I have the"wild girl raised by a pack of wolves"look going on-oh and the "Sick Girl"-so I have been told. I have also been fiddling around with fonts. Will see how it all goes!

New Shiny Beads Catch My Eye Like A Cat!

I am in a bead mood. Between waiting for paperclay doll layers to dry and drawings to be worked out, I bead. And, then I bead some more. I can't help it. I get distracted easily by all things sparkly and shiny and colourful. I was lucky enough to find pieces of Robin's Egg shell this morning! OOh, my favourite colour! Magick! See, I just got distracted-I distracted myself. Here are some new pieces. The one thing about beads is that they go so fast! Before you know it they are gone. I am looking into buying a "Bead Tree". I will plant it next to my "Money Tree" and all will be well with the world.

My good friend Linda made this amazing beaded Medicine/Magic Wand for me and the bracelet as well for a trade. I love her pieces-they are full of spirit and soul.

So, in return, I made her this Faerie necklace using a pewter Faerie Bead from the lovely ladies of Green Girl Studios www.greengirlstudios.com

Then, I updated my "M" necklace with my favourite colours-turquoise, aqua, greens and more but of course~

This "S" pendant necklace has been gilded with yellow gold and made for a lady whose little cat Sami died last year. Sami was a ginger cat with cream stripes. She had green eyes so I made it with gold, copper, creamy pearls, and green/gold beads. I so hope she likes it.

Finally, here is "Aphrodite-Goddess of Love" with a Flapper twist. She has been gilded with white gold and antiqued and beaded with various black and silver beads and silver peacock pearls. More to do!

Pixie Dust Vials

I finally finished some new jewelry-my Pixie Dust Vial necklaces. They have Pixie Dust(I have Fae Folk contacts for the hook up!) in glass in vials which are sealed with a cork and red wax. I also bead them with crystal and glass beads and they tie on with satin ribbon. Yay for Faeries!
