more & more new jewels

Today marks the one-year anniversary (birthday?) of What if I’m a Mermaid?.
When I first thought about starting a blog I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep up with it, what with three children to look after (I count my husband in there), as well as a full-time job, a part-time obsession, a [...]

When I came home from work on Friday, I noticed a magazine sticking out of the mailbox. I thought nothing of it until I got closer and read the word “Artful”. Immediately I knew what it was, and what it meant. I grabbed it out of the mailbox (leaving the bills for [...]

I’ve been reading Beadwork August/September 2007 (I’m just a little behind on this magazine!). The master class article in this issue is by Marcia DeCoster.
She discusses her “concept of small component design” – creating beaded components which can then be sewn together in different ways to form pieces of jewelry. I [...]
Hi! I'm Dawne. I am a woman, an artist, a wife, a mother, a lover of all things sparkly, and a chocoholic. Welcome to my little world of beads, paper, ink, and glitter glue. Here I record the chronicles of my artistic adventures and mishaps, in my never-ending quest to allow my love of creating beautiful things to express itself.
