My entry for the "Spring Around the Corner" April Challenge Etsy Beadweavers

Well after finishing my first entry Spring Flowers for the "Spring Around the Corner" Challenge, I decided to send a photo of it to Bead and Button Magazine.  I received an email asking me to send the necklace to them for photographing and possible future publication in the "Your Work" section.  So I of course mailed that sucker out right away.  I don't know that it will get published but it was good to know that they were at least interested.  I had my Day Lilly completed and was trying to figure out if it was too large to make into a necklace, that is why I started and finished the Spring Flower.  I since finished off the lariate and decided that I liked the single Day Lilly even if it was more life size that I had wanted. 

The voting for the "Spring Around the Corner" starts on April 9th and runs until the 15th at http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/.  You are as always encouraged to vote for your favorite entry and again there are some outstanding pieces to choose from.

Featuring Silver Dragon Creations - Patricia Vener

Image
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.
