A Creative Bump in the Road...

Well, I suppose that it was inevitable.... I have run out of inspiration for the time being. Mostly it's because I don't have the money to go out to the bead store, but I'm also hit a point where I need to take a break or risk more than short-term bordom.

In the meantime I think I'll get back to quilting. It's a nice change of pace, but still just as tedious at times. The only part I don't like is the repetitiveness of sewing the same thing over and over and over and over... and over. You get the point.

I'll post a pic of the quilt top I'm working on when I finish it. For now here are some of my favorites in my inventory.

Simple Stiletto Earrings

Needs:
1 Pair of Earwires
2 Headpins
Beads
Pliers

Step 1:
         Lay all your supplies out so you can see all of them. Next straighten the headpins if nessecary, then slide a bead onto the beadpin. Make a simple loop at the top.

Step 2:
        Take the earwires and open the loop at the bottom. Slide the headpins onto the opened loops. Now close them and you're done! You have made a pair of stiletto earrings.

Below is a pair I made a little while back. This style is great for showcasing beautiful beads that stand out all on their own.

My Apologies

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. My internet decided to die and I had to wait for Comcast to come install everything after we switched over. Everything's all good now! Expect to see new posts soon.

ArtFire Shop is Up

Finally, the PayPal verification went through. I will be adding items to my Artfire shop now that people will be able to buy them. Here's a link to my shop: Hana Creations on Artfire. For now I'm only a Basic member, but if I find that I like it I may chose to upgrade to a premium account.
