Unplugged…

Friday, February 1st, 2008

It’s been forever since I’ve blogged. I had to step back off the computer for a while – I had guests, a sick hubby in the hospital, I got tired, and I just needed to ‘unplug’.

Well that’s over! I’m plugged back in and and getting reconnected with the world. I even bought a new computer! It won’t be here till the 11th, but this is a preview of my baby. I got it online at HP and souped it up with the fasted processor they make, the most memory that would fit and I’m just counting down the days till it arrives. I can’t wait.

Check it out…. My new year digital creation was voted as the fave of the Winter contest over at ZNE’s Parata Di Arte! Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see my pic (during January) Sweet. Thanks for everyone that voted!

Black & Blue Beetle Bracelet

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Kelly…. you have changed my Saturdays forever…. I can’t not make a bracelet on Saturdays now – or it just feels weird!

This is my new one…. I had it planned out last week, shopped for the beads for it this afternoon, and finished it tonight. Initially we thought it was a highly polished chalk turquoise beetle, but after closer inspection, it’s a hand carved, glazed ceramic beetle. I love the crackle glaze in that yummy celadon blue, and the artist scribed thier insignia into the back – how great.

I’m dedicating this special one to Lori & Kelly who make THE BEST team. (tear, tear, sniff, sniff)

Vintage Garden Bracelet

Vintage Garden Bracelet
Originally uploaded by traSEAlee

Here’s another bracelet, using Kelly’s Garden Bracelet technique. I used vintage buttons, pearls (real and swarovski), and more snazzy glass beads. It feels so good on because it’s kind of ‘weighty’ and swishes around as I move. I love it.

I’m collecting beads for my next one…. all black, with an amazing scarab beetle made from turquoise. I want to use shiny and matte beads, transparent and opaque… as many different black beads as I can find. I’m totally addicted!

So below is the bracelet I made…. click on any of the pics to see them larger, directly on my flickr page, where I’ve stuff written about each shot.

24 hours of Flickr

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Over on Flickr, they held an event where people took pictures throughout the day of 5-5-07. You could take as many photos as you liked (last call I saw almost 16 thousand uploaded), BUT you could only submit one to the group for consideration to be part of a book that’s published. There are over 7 thousand submissions, and they chose 122 photos to be published – and mine was one of them! Mine was taken shortly after midnight, so it will probably appear in the book in the beginning, as I figure the photos will be laid out chronological. It will be for sale early next week. I’ll upload the link when it’s ready.

This did the trick :)
