Bead Journal Project - March’s Chaste Moon

March’s Chaste Moon
For this month’s Beaded Journal Page, I had the work do double duty. There was a challenge in one of my favorite forums (Bead Arts forum) to create something “hidden in plain sight”. I chose to work braille words into my journal page, using a different size (but same color) beads. […]

My most recent mixed media jewelry

Make Art Monday!
I don’t always post these pieces here on Layers Upon Layers. Most of you know that I also write the Jewelry & Beading blog here at the b5Media network, and that’s where all of these usually appear. But I couldn’t resist sharing some of the lastest pieces with you, because they’re really […]

Bead Journal Project - February’s Snow Moon

February’s Snow Moon
I used a number of different patterns for dimensional snowflakes on this addition to my Beaded Journal pages. Some of them look kind of fuzzy in the photo, because they stick straight up and I can’t control the aperture on my camera for depth of field adjustments. Next camera, that’s for sure!
You can […]

Call for entries: The 6th Annual Ugly Necklace Contest

What’s Up Wednesday!
It’s not that easy to do ugly. I mean to do really gut-twisting ugly.
It’s easy to make a necklace that isn’t that great, but how about to make one that breaks all the rules of good design and leaves your viewer feeling squeamish? I can’t show you a picture of my entry from […]

How to make a beaded assemblage

Technique Tuesday!
I shared the steps I went through to make the beaded print block assemblage over on Jewelry & Beading last week. In case you’d like some more inspiration, you might want to check out Lisa Kokin’s site again :-)

Beaded print block

Make Art Monday!

I shared this little beaded assemblage about a week ago on Jewelry & Beading. It uses an antique print block as the base. It doesn’t seem to have any function that I can discern, so don’t ask me what it’s for :-)
