I absolutely fell in love with those rectangular beads. The colors (can you see the hint of red? fabulous!!!) I had this idea to make this really awesome 3 strand beadwoven necklace (I still might!!!!) but time and life conspired against me, and that idea had to fall by the wayside. I was actually quite bummed. <br />
<br />
But then I had another idea--a cuff! So, I decided that herringbone (apparently, as I disovered at Bead Night tonight, it's my old standby! lol!) would be best, as its so versatile, and slinky! I just love herringbone. I wanted to bring in the colors in the beads, so I used a base of Sea Foam lined Light Topaz seed beads, with lines of Metallic Iris Teal, Pepper Red, and black. Then, I sewed one of the focal beads onto the cuff, and clustered Czech Firepolish around the bead. <br />

I'm an absentee Blogger! 😞 In my defense, A LOT has happened since I last wrote. Jobs, other jobs, health stuff (not me, fam. all good now!) and all manner of other things.<br />
<br />
But Bead Soup is back on! I'm so happy that Lori is able to run this again, and I'm really looking forward to playing!<br />
<br />
I'm off to sign up! More details soon! 😄<br />

<br />
The Chicklet beads are fun little bits of beads (okay, they're whole beads, but they're little bitty beads!) with a flower design pressed into each side. They're so cute!!! As part of the design challenge, each of the designers (you can find the list below, at the bottom of this post) received a chicklet bead. We each received a different color bead, and had to create <i>something</i> with it. I received a lovely reddish brown chicklet bead. One of my favorite colors.<br />
<br />
I had a hard time initially with this challenge, because I felt all my ideas overwhelmed the bead. I pondered bead-weaving, treating it like a cab and framing it, stringing it with other beads. Nothing worked for me. And it's so cute, I <b>really</b> wanted to showcase it!<br />
<br />
So, finally, I went back to a favorite technique, chainmaille. One of the things I love about the SueBead Chicklet is the low profile it has. Its a nice, flat bead, perfect for a bracelet for a klutzy chick (that would be me, btw...) With that in mind, I decided to use an equally "low profile" chainmaille weave, the helms weave. I combined wonderful Kelly-green rings with simple copper to keep the focus on the bead, and added a bit of czech glass to give it some sparkle. Take a look!<br />

For the Challenge, we could make anything we wanted, so long as we used all the pieces, and the focal was clearly the focal. Everyone made some beautiful pieces! Here's mine:<br />

Once you're there, you need to "Like" the photo! You can comment as well, and please do, but the "Likes" are the votes. :)<br />

<br />
First off, I want to say thank you to the awesomest <a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/" target="_blank">Lori Anderson</a>, our fearless leader, and her crew of helpers--you guys rock!!!! Not only did Lori organize this HUGE bash, she did it while battling some serious health stuff. But from what I understand, she's on the mend, so yay! I so want her to feel better!<br />
<br />
I also want to say an ENORMOUS thank you to my partner, Rachel Stewart of <a href="http://bluefinchjewelry.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blue Finch</a> Jewelry blog for the beautiful soup she sent me! Seriously, it was fabulous. I know, I keep using that word, but really, you'll see!!! <br />
<br />
First, a reminder of what I sent Rachel:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BXW1W_U4K3UaOuTaTNMf91BBN_S-IOXqYgDpEkibQgvNj3hcGPxlX5Hjl2Uvbz8GhZQCYnx8TC7yeN9LkOMyOTkGbo3y1pxENHW6vA3bpwMmR0P5__CdPKw2N4hwilNzfL4ZjKc09e8U/s1600/DSCI1785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BXW1W_U4K3UaOuTaTNMf91BBN_S-IOXqYgDpEkibQgvNj3hcGPxlX5Hjl2Uvbz8GhZQCYnx8TC7yeN9LkOMyOTkGbo3y1pxENHW6vA3bpwMmR0P5__CdPKw2N4hwilNzfL4ZjKc09e8U/s1600/DSCI1785.jpg" height="276" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">It's a garden! :) </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
And what Rachel sent me:<br />
<div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4THge7GYWMQemoKQhqR11ik3kq6lLKq-n0oSs9Qgy8r81bCEsFTBf8yGa3BAJ6hnEHWZyzMqOBFTQ2dsy26yu5Xi_fntHRAsRA-NC33dZw9ajSHfWiCR2iprFKPzX0YydPhhlETRAdef/s1600/Soup+Collage.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4THge7GYWMQemoKQhqR11ik3kq6lLKq-n0oSs9Qgy8r81bCEsFTBf8yGa3BAJ6hnEHWZyzMqOBFTQ2dsy26yu5Xi_fntHRAsRA-NC33dZw9ajSHfWiCR2iprFKPzX0YydPhhlETRAdef/s1600/Soup+Collage.jpg.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another garden! Great minds! :) </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So, that fabulous soup she sent me actually caused me a bit of a problem--such gorgeousness! What to do! I had this whole big elaborate plan... yeah, it didn't work out. I was so not happy with where it was heading... That was about 2 weeks ago... (yeah, I was cutting it close...) but you know what? I am SO GLAD the elaborate plan didn't work out! Because once I took everything apart and starting looking at the pieces again, inspiration struck (and so did exam week at school! ick! But it all came together. slowly..... lol!) So finally, here's the main dish, the real reason you're here, the pretties! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I made 4 pieces, using one of the focals and both clasps, as well as a myriad of beads, both from Rachel and others that I added. My goal this time was to use at least one piece of everything she sent, and I'm pretty sure I succeeded! So here they are!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I made a pair of earrings, a necklace, and 2 bracelets. Here they all are:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Woot! Bead Soup Blog Party sign ups were about two weeks ago, and since then, the fabulously awesome <a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/" target="_blank">Lori Anderson</a> has been working hard to get the show on the road. :)<br />
<br />
First, she has to see how many of us there's really are (490) and then send us all an email letting us know we're in (I am! I got my email a few days ago!! Yay!!!) and then she has to start pairing us up, but making sure that we get paired up with a different style artist, someone in a location we can ship to, and someone we haven't been paired up with before! (All that's coming in the next few weeks.)<br />
<br />
And then comes the SOUP!!! Oh, that's the really fun part! Cooking up a fabulous bead soup for your partner to play with! I can't wait!! Here's the soups I sent to my previous partners. Enjoy! And stay tuned!! :)<br />

GO VOTE!!! Hiya folks! So, I'm part of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.652996348045898.1073741866.272858342726369&type=1" target="_blank">Blu Mudd Design Challenge</a>, currently in it's THIRD round! :) The idea is that Moriah, of Owner of Blu Mudd, makes a FABULOUS focal something (pendant, bracelet bar, etc) and we make pretties! You know I LOVE my pretties. :) <br />
<br />
Well, this time, she offered us this FABULOUS butterfly bracelet bar!<br />
<br />

I decided I REALLY wanted to try my hand at more chainmaille, so I settled on a dragonscale weave, because it would have the same idea of shape as the focal. And I decided to use silver and purple rings to make it FABULOUS! Here's what I came up with:<br />

See, she hosts the Bead Soup Blog Party every year, and we all send our partners gorgeous beadies, but what about the fabulous beads that never see the light of day because they're just too ... pretty? Fabulous? Special? MINE?!?! Yeah, that's what this blog hop is all about! <br />
<br />
Alright, so the premise here is to use your own stash. Don't go buy new goodies, use what you have. You have no idea how hard that is. lol! Well, I embraced the challenge. Sort of.... I took kind of a broadish view of "Bead" here. But I did stick to the "hoarder" part! So, here goes!!<br />
<br />
Alright, so I started by remaking a bracelet I started last year. I wanted to use my fabulous Magic beads from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LampworkBeadsJewelryByLinda" target="_blank">Lampwork Beads by Linda</a>, but the cuff blank I made was too big for my wrist. So, I took it apart, salvaged the beads, and started fresh. Here's the finished cuff:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghd9XNVY15J0sxn2ez8TT7m8VClNJzRuUUhz1RQFFN-OPKkHZVJ5g6A_q6rBhAEKG9zniK_EsdFgi3qkxXEaC-aMsesAQkLujp10eR_AIf_jLIUoGzZcbJx3w7EqBy-GAUWTbcqyBGI_hd/s1600/DSCI1712.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghd9XNVY15J0sxn2ez8TT7m8VClNJzRuUUhz1RQFFN-OPKkHZVJ5g6A_q6rBhAEKG9zniK_EsdFgi3qkxXEaC-aMsesAQkLujp10eR_AIf_jLIUoGzZcbJx3w7EqBy-GAUWTbcqyBGI_hd/s320/DSCI1712.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I've had these beads for at least a year... Aren't they gorgeous? :) <br />
<br />
Now, the original cuff blank, that I made last year? Yeah, used that too:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJBSr0q3V0wY2LVQ-M_L8R1dyDkGmy4rrHtWcMC3nnZKBJ4dbQC-rez4FVGlI29y9qoyG186nGlozm6sJuaIiHM_k26Oij1N_c4KI5aZDEZrs6Hcsqelx_Wj4fey87cso-XhqCyjEe4eVq/s1600/DSCI1715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJBSr0q3V0wY2LVQ-M_L8R1dyDkGmy4rrHtWcMC3nnZKBJ4dbQC-rez4FVGlI29y9qoyG186nGlozm6sJuaIiHM_k26Oij1N_c4KI5aZDEZrs6Hcsqelx_Wj4fey87cso-XhqCyjEe4eVq/s320/DSCI1715.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This elephant focal is from Amy of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LampworkBeadsJewelryByLinda" target="_blank">Flamekeeper Beads</a>, and I know I bought that in 2012. And there's 2 more lentil beads from Lampwork Beads by Linda, and a bunch of fun colorful Czech glass and Swarkies from my favorite bead shop, <a href="http://sparklespot.com/catalog/index.php" target="_blank">Sparkle Spot Beads</a>.<br />
<br />
Next, I wanted to make earrings. Specifically, I wanted to make frog earrings, since my name means frog (in Latin and Spanish). And of course, I have frog beadies! So, that's where these came from:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The frog cap is from Amy of Flamekeeper, while the fabulous flowers are all from Heather of <a href="http://www.blissfulgardenbeads.com/" target="_blank">Blissful Garden Beads</a>. I love a good mismatched earring! :)<br />
<br />
And I wanted more earrings, but remember how I said I stretched the definition of "bead"? Yeah, well, I kinda hoard tutorials, too. So, I dug out a fun little wire wrapping tutorial from <a href="http://www.nicolehannajewelry.com/" target="_blank">Nicole Hanna Jewelry </a>("Fun and Funky Earrings: Mini tutorial") and made a few pairs of those:<br />
<br />

Not only did I hoard the beads in these, I hoarded the wire, too. lol!<br />
<br />
I had a few more bracelet ideas strike while I was working on the more time consuming pieces above, so I dug out some more fabulous beads:<br />

And there's that stretchy definition of "bead" again... I made the "fuzzy" beads out of Wooly Wire I've been hoarding for at least 6 months... lol! You can find the wire from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ktotten" target="_blank">Starry Road Studio</a>, and the tutorial for the spiral beads from <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2013/02/make-something-monday-woolywire-bead.html" target="_blank">Art Jewelry Elements</a>.<br />
<br />
And finally, I was REALLY wanting to finish the key chain idea I had in February... So, I did:<br />

All the frame and the spiral were hand formed by me, then I used Swarkies, Czech glass, and one last lampie from Linda to finish this off. The frame is brass, and the wrapping wire is a lovely metallic green. I LOVE this piece!<br />
<br />
So there you have it... Since the sign ups for this blog hop back on June 20th, I have been a designing fool! :) And I have to say, I really love everything I made! I'm actually happy with all of it! I knew I'd bought all those beads for a reason! lol! <br />
<br />
Alright, now you need to go check out everyone else's little hoarding problems! :) You can find the blog list on Lori's blog <a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/2013/06/bead-hoarders-blog-hop-sign-ups-are-open.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and here below:<br />

<br />
Okay, first, I've gotta give love and hugs to our fearless leader, Lori, of the <a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/" target="_blank">Pretty Things Blog</a>. I have NO IDEA how she organizes this thing! But I'm SO GLAD she does!!! And of course I also have to give big hugs to Robin of <a href="http://willowdragon.blogspot.com/2013/03/this-is-my-very-first-bead-soup-blog.html" target="_blank">Artistry HCBD</a>, my partner. She sent me a FABULOUS soup (you can find the ingredients <a href="http://ranaleadesigns.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-bead-soup.html" target="_blank">here</a>!!) I had so much fun!!! <br />
<br />
So, I recently decided to try learning something new--chainmaille (more on that later!) and really wanted to incorporate that into my designs for this bead soup. So, here it is!<br />
<br />
I decided to make 2 bracelets with my soup, one to use each of the required pieces. Here they are together:<br />

<br />
This is the bracelet where I used the focal--that fabulous striped jasper (you can see it better in the next pic). I used several of the other beads Robin sent me (SO many left! Oh, the fun I could have, still!!!) and also added a 2-inch section of European 4-in-1 chainmaille that I learned:<br />

The focal, some danglies, and what I think might (maybe) be an onyx? I don't know. I love it... :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And this is the 2nd bracelet, using that beautiful clasp and the GORGEOUS large howlite (I think) round bead Robin sent me! I continued the chainmaille bits with 4 mobius spacers between crystals.<br />

I LOVE the mix of beads Robin sent me--SO MANY things I don't usually use. And, with the exception of the rings I used in the maille and the clasp on the jasper bracelet, EVERY item used in these bracelets was sent to me by Robin! Normally, I'm a very worrisome designer, making sure that things are matchy-matchy. Ever since the <a href="http://ranaleadesigns.blogspot.com/2012/10/you-say-your-earrings-dont-match.html" target="_blank">mismatched earrings</a> I made last year, I've been working on NOT matching. I really felt the mix of beads Robin sent me allowed me to expand that into bracelet making (normally, crystals would be with crystals, and naturals would be with naturals. It's just how I was...) and I LOVE that I was able to effectively combine natural stones with glass crystals and have the whole look so wonderful!<br />
<br />
BIG thank yous to Robin and Lori, again! You guys ROCK!<br />
<br />
Now, go see what everyone else did! And remember, this is just the 1st of THREE reveals! So come back next week to see what some other folk did! Have fun!<br />

Maybe? I hope. Oi, it has been a CRAZY year so far... And unfortunately, I dropped the blogging ball... Of course, my friends keep asking me how I was still standing, so I guess something had to give... Anyway, here's a quick rundown of what's been going on!<br />
<br />
<br />
1. I moved... and after moving, I had to organize. Only, I couldn't seem to get to it... I had no motivation... But then mom came back! and things started to get organized!

2. I've been teaching my usual 7 classes. And you know, that's just too much! I can't do it anymore. </div>
<div>
3. I had surgery! Oi, was that an experience. I ain't gonna lie, I'm going to have to SERIOUSLY ponder the merits of ANY further surgery in my future. The docs are REALLY going to have to make the case! Cuz that was NOT FUN! But, I am starting to feel MUCH better! So, you know, there's that...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been trying to craft the last few weeks, and I've made a few things for swaps and stuff, and I actually did finish my Bead Soup pieces (early, no less!!) so that's something. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving forward, I'm trying really hard to get back on track blogging, and hope to get back into the Focus on Life bloghop that Sally Russick is hosting. I also, of course, have the Bead Soup Blog Party this weekend (1st reveal!!! woot!) And maybe I'll chronicle the changes happening around this place as they get completed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, there you have it! I'm tryin' to make a comeback! :) See you all this weekend! :) </div>

Okay, so I've been quite the slacker lately, but not by choice. I've had that crud that's been going around down here, and I've had a LOT of grading to get done. But, I think I'm finally starting to get caught back up!<br />
<br />
One of the MAJOR things that I needed to take care of was getting pictures of the beautiful Bead Soup my partner, Robin Reed, of <a href="http://www.willowdragon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Artistry HCBD</a>, sent me a few weeks ago! Part of the problem is I'm still trying to figure out WHERE to take pictures in this new house! I'm hoping in a few days I'll maybe have an actual studio set up, but if nothing else, hopefully by the end of March. <br />
<br />
But, I was able to FINALLY get some pics of the Soup! <br />

So there you have it! Ain't it awesome? I can't wait! The ideas are percolating! Come back on March 30th to see what happens!<br />
<br />

<h3>
The Background:</h3>
<br />
Some of you (well, especially those of you coming here through the hop) know about our Tanya. She was awesome-sauce. Well, somewhere she <b>still</b> <b>is</b> awesome sauce. See, Tanya (aka, <a href="http://fusionmusebangkok.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">FusionMuse</a>) became a good friend of mine on Facebook over the last year. Unfortunately, for most of that time, Tanya was very ill. She passed away at the beginning of this year, and we miss her dearly. <br />
<br />
Awhile back, she created a group on Facebook for artists (mainly jewelry, but I know there's other folks in there, too) to have a safe place to come and chat, ask for advice, and just have fun. Thankfully, the group is still up and running. And, after some discussion, we decided to have this bloghop. The plan was to create something fabulous to remember Tanya. I have some fabulousness in the works, but events (of which Tanya was well aware) have conspired against me, and I'm running behind. More so now than I was... So, that's actually what I'm going to talk about! <br />
<br />
<h3>
The Thought Process:</h3>
<br />
Okay, I was FINALLY well on my way to finishing my projects tonight when the idea I had didn't pan out. No big, it happens, I'll take another direction. So... WIRE! Tanya sent me brass wire! Yes, I'll play with that! Hey, I can make loops! Yes! HOOP EARRINGS!!!!! OH YEAH BABY! [yes, this is how my brain works...] Damn, wire not cooperating... hmmm... twist here, turn there, wrap wrap wrap... hmmm... coil this bit here... dude, I made a cat... wow. he's kinda cute. KARTER CAT!!!! Tanya rescued Karter kitty, and I made him outta wire!!!! Earrings? Can I make another? let's see... twist, turn, wrap wrap, turn.... coil.... oh! kinda! Tail's a bit different. Eh, it's fine... Karter Kitty earrings! Hey, I could but that bead I made in here.... Oh... no... not really... hmmm.. okay, make those into drop earrings, and I'll figure out something for Karter kitty [actually, I'm going to use tiger's eye that Tanya sent me... yes, I know Karter Kitty is white, but I like my tiger's eye] hmmm... moonstone.. yes... needs something else... TOURMALINE!!!!! But I want that pink in the middle there... hey, you have all those empty tubes, but the tourmaline in a tube... Cool.....<br />
...<br />
...<br />
...<br />
...<br />
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Insanity:</h3>
<br />
And right there, I dropped the tube of tourmaline (no-longer-strung TEENY tiny tourmalines) on the SHAG carpet.... THIS shag carpet:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbN4Abn2-HZNzNfaJFwPUSBAKoOENrrgYe1-vmVk2Z7SaoEKpBut8631c6yOVqUA7jhevzSWa0tyVECyV_aXCZ7hMgbR1m4Qf1dqnLqpPn6pG6stwIq0T9V1KndAHQIxIBFca0_VweNrEs/s1600/IMG_0453.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbN4Abn2-HZNzNfaJFwPUSBAKoOENrrgYe1-vmVk2Z7SaoEKpBut8631c6yOVqUA7jhevzSWa0tyVECyV_aXCZ7hMgbR1m4Qf1dqnLqpPn6pG6stwIq0T9V1KndAHQIxIBFca0_VweNrEs/s320/IMG_0453.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You see that bead in there? Yeah, I dropped most of a 16 inch strand on THAT carpet...</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Oh, have I mentioned that I don't have a flashlight (thank god for cell phones) and that I'm kinda allergic to carpet? yeah....<br />
<br />
Anywho, because these are my TOURMALINES! But mainly because they're my TANYA tourmalines, DOWN onto the floor I went, to find the beads. I used a handheld vac for some, but most I had to COMB through the carpet to find.... Managed to get most of them, I think:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0ifVtSazMhVjmIjfXvUUUu48QJr5jJ-99xQWk8yZSIWCm65OogEvuKjATsBZlZ6DMLRJSu8vTVyN0ZT93sOw4sYiGfb5mTYy6Nl60BIEjGh6w-_AsLlzfWmf1d52Sagocxkwy_JUSkd1/s1600/IMG_0454.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk0ifVtSazMhVjmIjfXvUUUu48QJr5jJ-99xQWk8yZSIWCm65OogEvuKjATsBZlZ6DMLRJSu8vTVyN0ZT93sOw4sYiGfb5mTYy6Nl60BIEjGh6w-_AsLlzfWmf1d52Sagocxkwy_JUSkd1/s320/IMG_0454.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I actually found more than this... </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So why am I telling this crazy story in a blog hop to celebrate a dear friend? Well, it occurred to me, as I was belly down on the floor, combing through my carpet with only my iPhone for decent lighting, that Tanya would get a kick out of this story. She'd call me a "silly girl," tell me not to worry and go to bed, and, in that way she had, sneakily send me more tourmalines, along with something else I had mentioned I wanted to try. She was just that type of person....<br />
<br />
So, here's what I'm GOING to finish, tomorrow:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In the top left corner, a beaded bead I made using rose quartz I got from Tanya, moonstones, and those pesky tourmalines. In the right corner, Karter Kitty, with his tiger eye beads waiting to be wrapped.... I may try ears, too... Oh, and in the center, the rest of the tourmalines I found... </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Tanya was beautiful soul, and a generous spirit. Even in the midst of all her own problems, with her health and all, she was ALWAYS there for her friends, and you could always take your problems to her for a willing ear and, if she had it, sound advice. I miss her so much.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Okay, last week's prompt was "Feel the Love" for Sally's <i><a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/2013/02/08/focus-on-life-week-7/" target="_blank">Focus on Life</a></i> blog hop. After the events of the last few weeks, and the trouble I had with the "Capture your Heart" prompt, I was really not looking forward to trying to figure this one out. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then, it hit me. What did I do last weekend? Well, I, and several good friends and 2 VERY NEW friends, moved ALL MY CRAP!!!!! And let me tell you, I have A LOT of crap.... er.... stuff.... </div>

Okay, this is actually 2 views of the same room, and, in one of those weird twists, it is WAY worse than it looks. And this is only one room! There's another that I refuse to open the door to anytime soon. And there's furniture in the guest bath... oi... But you know what, it's all here now, and I have some of the most FABULOUS people in the world to thank for that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, LaRita, Kurt, Frank, Nancy, Amy, John, Jayden, Skyler, Nathan, Matt, Marie, Mia, and Matthew--I love you guys. Thank you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And Sally--thank you for giving me the opportunity to articulate all this. It's been a great help! </div>

A few weeks ago, Sally over at the <a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/" target="_blank">Studio Sublime</a> asked us if we felt the need for a challenge. I pondered it, and decided yup, yup, I did. Which, in retrospect, maybe not my best decision ever, what with all I have on my plate right now. But I wanted to play. And with all that on my plate, creative fun time can sometimes get pushed not to the back-burner, but off the stove entirely!<br />
<br />
Anyway, Sally's challenge for us was to be "Inspired by Winter" and create a piece of jewelry to reflect that inspiration. Now, as you may know, I live in Florida. Not a terribly "wintery" place at the best of times, and this year has so far been a bit stranger than usual. So, I decided to think back to past years, and try to decide what my favorite part of winter is. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
After a bit of thought, I decided it was clothes. I LOVE my winter clothes! Now, MY winter clothes are definitely not suitable for a northern winter. Maybe a northern autumn. But that doesn't matter. They're MY winter clothes, after all! lol!<br />
<br />
Many of my winter clothes are in shades of brown and russet, in wonderful warm fabrics and tones. I decided my jewelry should reflect that. And so, a couple of pairs of earrings were born! :)<br />

She asked us to "Capture our Hearts."<br />
<br />
See, I was supposed to have something wonderful happen at the 1st of the year, but it hasn't happened. I don't want to go into details, but what I thought was a wonderful relationship has fallen apart. And I don't know why. <br />
<br />
I had pondered not participating this week, but then I decided, no, I needed to not let this impact what I WANT to do. And part of what I want to do, is blog more, and participate in this hop. <br />
<br />
So, I started looking around. Where could I find hearts in this new life I'm having to build for myself? Well, oddly, I found a perfect heart--for me, in this time-frame, at least--in my shower.<br />

It's all dinged and rough around the edges. That's my heart right now. A little bit broken, but it'll mend. <br />
<br />
I also have to include my furry-hearts. They seem to know that mommy is a bit tender just now, so they're (mostly) being good. <br />

So that's this week. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check out the other <a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/2013/02/01/focus-on-life-week-5/" target="_blank">entries</a>!<br />

RanaLeaRanaLeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15498966900412532214noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980842998360957052.post-69942324227453906462013-01-27T01:08:00.001-05:002013-01-27T01:12:12.669-05:00Art for art's sake? <span style="background-color: white;">For Week 4 of the <a href="http://thestudiosublime.com/2013/01/25/focus-on-lifeweek-4/" target="_blank">Focus on Life blog hop</a>, Sally's prompt to us was to "Create Art." Oddly enough, this one has been the most difficult for me so far, not because I don't feel I'm artistic and creative (in fact, I sometimes think I have TOO MUCH creativity, and it can get very scattery!) but because I'm currently suffering from a severe lack of time and, oddly, space...</span><br />
<br />
You see, I've just started classes again (I teach College English) and in true Crazy-Rana form, I'm teaching 7 classes across 2 colleges. oi.... We're three weeks into the semester, which essentially means all my fun time is getting ready to go down the drain in deference to essay reading, grading, and emails. For the most part, this is okay, as I really do like my job. I would just like to like a little LESS of my job. If that makes any sense. So there's the time aspect...<br />
<br />
I am also in the middle of a very, VERY slow move. Eventually, I'll be all settled in back in my parents' house (it's okay--they've retired and are traveling a bit, so I mostly have it to myself) but at the moment, I'm actually living in 2 places. So, half of my things are in one house, half are in the other. I have the art supplies in one house, but the good places to DO the art are in the other house. It's very odd... <br />
<br />
So, I decided, that instead of DOING art this week, I would work on preparing to do art. Since my art takes the form of so many different things--jewelry, painting, card-making, crocheting, cross-stitch, maybe (one day) knitting--I decided I would take care of the things you need to do to get to the actual art. For me, right now, that means earwires... <br />
<br />
See, I'm also participating in <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Art Jewelry Elements Earring challenge</a>--trying to make at least one pair of earrings every week. And yes, sometimes I use premade earwires, but ever since I discovered the fun of <a href="http://ranaleadesigns.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-favorite-jewelry-tools.html" target="_blank">pounding on wire with a hammer</a>, I actually prefer to make my own earwires. It's a bit of an involved process for me, since I don't have a tumbler (yet), so I have to file and hammer every single one, after all the shaping. <br />

As part of my effort to blog more (and because it sounded like fun... lol!) I'm participating in <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2013/01/aje-earring-challenge-reveal-1.html?m=1" target="_blank">Art Jewelry Elements Earring Challenge</a>. <br />
<br />
So here goes! <br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First up, the earrings I made with beads I bought from my favorite local bead shop, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sparkle-Spot-Bead-Shop/47697498494?fref=ts" target="_blank">Sparkle Spot</a>, which were hand delivered to Kelley from Hungary! And now, they're in my earrings! Beads by Reka, of <a href="http://cheekybeads.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CheekyBeads</a>. The pic doesn't really do these beads justice--they are such a beautiful buttery-tan shade, and the dots are FABULOUSly fun! :) I've got the beads dangling on lengths of chain, for a fun fidget earring. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These might possibly be my favorites of all time. The components were made especially for me in an Artist swap on the <a href="http://www.beadswap-usa.com/index.php" target="_blank">Bead Swap-USA</a> page. Diana Keever, of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DianaKeeverJewelry" target="_blank">Diana Keever Jewelry</a>, made the happy cat charm (I have two kitties...) and wire wrapped the key and pen nib for me ("writing is the key!"). I just added the earwire to the key and nib charm, and added some coordinating danglies to the happy cat to tie it all together in some fabulous "self-portrait" mis-matched earrings. </td></tr>

She suggested we <span style="background-color: white; color: #525252; font-family: CrimsonRoman, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">"Really [take] time for YOU without feeling guilty. Just you for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, dare I say longer!</span>"<br />
<br />
I gotta say, this was a toughie for me. On the one hand, I kinda feel like I take a lot of time for me, since I have no significant other and no children. But on the other hand, I teach seven English classes, try to make jewelry for a living, and have a LARGE extended family, with whom I love spending time. <br />
<br />
So, I decided on 2 things for my "Me time" this week.<br />
<br />
First, I've been working on these components for a few weeks now, but I had just never found the time to put the set together. So, I did. :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir7G4y-VPZzhNHNXBJswnBW4OoBsJ0uiu091QBK4A_3uPjHPzxUUSr5zHzcIEhcxRJyUk6lBF87rvj8mMbaRL9Eee2AiOZywDPmKZs-2dMDwrbRCGvsLULA3LQE9AHwNNHHBRhRWOxMkMu/s1600/Goddess+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir7G4y-VPZzhNHNXBJswnBW4OoBsJ0uiu091QBK4A_3uPjHPzxUUSr5zHzcIEhcxRJyUk6lBF87rvj8mMbaRL9Eee2AiOZywDPmKZs-2dMDwrbRCGvsLULA3LQE9AHwNNHHBRhRWOxMkMu/s320/Goddess+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The Goddess bead is by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/desertrabbitdesign" target="_blank">Desert Rabbit Design</a>. The lentil in the bracelet and the rounds in the earrings are by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LampworkBeadsByLinda" target="_blank">Lampwork Beads by Linda</a>. I made the netted pearl sections after learning the technique a class I took at my favorite bead shop, <a href="http://sparklespot.com/catalog/index.php" target="_blank">Sparkle Spot Beads</a>, a few weeks ago. ow to find something to wear it with! :) <br />
<br />
And my other thing? Well, I got my nails did. lol! Okay, that's something I would do anyways, but with all I have going on right now, it was LOW on my list of things to do. But I decided I needed the pampering! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPeOliycXEFins3ag3GMwQAngHNtIrxivSWb86LszwR5SS2DIgyHkiamCb1crM_qlkwPl5spYuGaoYla58TituaGlBqrCeXR1rb15zco7uwhi-myL4mWwyFDWYwKA2zj5InEgDMZlHoiAX/s1600/Photo+on+1-19-13+at+10.35+PM+%25233.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPeOliycXEFins3ag3GMwQAngHNtIrxivSWb86LszwR5SS2DIgyHkiamCb1crM_qlkwPl5spYuGaoYla58TituaGlBqrCeXR1rb15zco7uwhi-myL4mWwyFDWYwKA2zj5InEgDMZlHoiAX/s320/Photo+on+1-19-13+at+10.35+PM+%25233.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I've heard of other folks choosing a word to guide them in the coming year, but I never really had. Also not really a "resolutions" person, since I tend to forget about them... But, I thought it might be interesting, especially considering Sally's prompt, to choose a word for myself to guide me in 2013.<br />
<br />
Of course, then I had to actually <i>choose</i> the word! Never easy, especially if you're wordy (well, I teach English, after all...) So, I started a list (I'm a list girl...) I had things on there like "move," "forward," "onward," "live," "love," "persevere." Good words all, but none of them were really <i>it</i>, you know? So, I pondered all these words, and finally settled one that encompasses all of these concepts... So, without further ado, here's my word for 2013!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">CREATE! I made this using the "<a href="http://www.meritumpaint.com/" target="_blank">Meritum Paint</a>" App on my phone. It's fun! :) </td></tr>

So, what do I plan to create? Well, I plan to create stuff:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mostly jewelry, but also some card stuff. See my word there in the mix? :) The iron? Yeah, no idea why that's there... </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also plan to "create" more blog posts:</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My 'puter! :) I love my Mac... </td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
