Etsy Beadweavers September Challenge - Bollywood

This month the theme for the Etsy Beadweavers Street Team monthly challenge is "Bollywood".  Bollywood is India's movie industry and in India is a bigger producing film industry than Hollywood.  The Bollywood film stars wear very elaborate jewely especially in wedding or bridal themes.  I created my "Bollywood Kundan style Bridal Choker" to reflect the intricate and elaborate designs.  I myself like more simple jewelry so for me this challenge was a way to stretch my imagination and make something that I would not normally make.  I used green fresh water pearls, peridot and emerald swarovski crystals and Japanese seed beads to create the choker.  You can see the full descripton at AngelqueCreations

The voting will start on September 9 and run until my birthday on September 15.  Please go to our web site at http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ to register your vote.

Featuring Silver Dragon Creations - Patricia Vener

This week I am featuring Patricia Vener of Silver Dragon Creations http://www.silverdragon.etsy.com/  another fellow Etsy Beadweaver Street Team member.  It is interesting to me to find out about someone that you have talked with in various forums and learn new ways that you are compatable.  I also love Stargate Atlantis, in fact any Sci-fi film or TV show usually catches my interest.  Here is what Patricia had to say. 1. What type of art work do you do? I'm a painter who has added bead weaving to her repertoire of media. 2. How did you get started doing art work? Someone gave me a crayon or pencil and I went to town! Among my earliest memories is of visitng a museum when I was four years old and being totally mesmerized by the Native American exhibits of textiles and decorative work. I stood there staring and staring and had to be dragged away. 3. Do you do any other crafts? I have done some small fiber weaving (loom work interestingly enough and I love it), lace making (le

Well it is hard to believe that the Christmas Craft fair season is upon us already. It seems like just yesterday that I was putting in my applications for 2011 Craft Fairs.  I started in January 2011 and jured for many of them in May and June and now the first of the fairs is about to start.  I am in several new fairs this year so I don't know how they will turn out and some I am returning to because they were very good events for me last year.  If you wish to stop in and say hello, here are the locations that I will be attending this year.
