Patterns of the Week

I am in the process of revitalising my Etsy shop and adding a range of new bead patterns.  It has been fun playing with colour and design - looking at providing a variation that you don't see else where.  For your viewing pleasure - here are some of the latest I have listed.  If for some reason they are not available - please let me know and I'll re-list immediately.

Pattern Update

Its been a busy time and I'm finally catching up.  Have some exciting projects to share with you so will be sure to post!  I have dusted off my archives and re-visiting some of the loomed patterns that I have created and updating colours and palettes.   If you have purchased one of my patterns, please share the finished design with me so that I can showcase you on the web!

This is what has been listed this week in my Etsy shop.

Digital Bead Magazine - Edition 4

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort"  ... Franklin D. Roosevelt

This quote couldn't be more apt for where I am in my creative process and the goals and challenges I had set out for myself this year.  I am blessed to have been given some fabulous opportunities and to have wonderful creative and passionate people who share my life and give me the support and encouragement to enjoy the simple things such as embarking with an online seller (Etsy) salivating over new bead releases and of course creatnig new designs for publication.

This leads to the subject of this post - I am thrilled that I am now a part of the Digital Bead Magazine's community and will also be a regular contributor to this awesome magazine.  It is a relatively new magazine and already has featured some of the world's best designers. 

For this edition I designed the "Solace" loomed cuff project.  The design evolved whilst someone close to me was hospitalized due to illness and then passed away.  The designing process gave me so much comfort and my  colour choices reflected the beautiful person he was.  Click on the link to get a sampling of what Digital Bead Magazine  has to offer - you will quickly be as hooked as I am!
