A Little Humor Goes a Long Way

noreply@blogger.com (SuzyQ) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:10:00 +0000

Today is a good day. I got a notice from our Postal-Person that my new old used Power Mac G4 that I swiped off eBay has arrived and that I need to reclaim it by bringing a dolly (I think they mean the metal kind) to the local post office. Woohoo! I'll be back in action soon!!!

On another note, I have a BIG SURPRISE for you. You'll have to check back tomorrow though because that's when it all begins......

In the meantime, I thought I'd add a little humor to your day. First, I'd like to announce that I've taken up knitting. And more recently I've started adding beads (How can I not add beads?!) When I have a creation worthy of public profiling, I'll post it. For now, though, you'll have to click on the title above to see what fabulous creations are being produced by these "Knit Wits". You can click on the website's annoying ads (upper right corner) to remove them.

Enjoy and I'll be back tomorrow!

Emiko Oye: My First Royal Jewels

noreply@blogger.com (SuzyQ) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:17:00 +0000

I came across this wonderful artist on the Revere Academy's mailing list & thought I'd pass her work along....

From Emiko Oye: "My First Royal Jewels” Collection is a modern-day reinterpretation of European jewelry created by some of the great design houses of the early 20th century—Louis Boucheron, Cartier (Paris), and Harry Winston—much sought after names by the royal and social elite. A time when platinum and emeralds were the materials of choice and a woman’s jewelry was seen as emblems of her “lord’s” rank in the world. Now we might ask the question: who are today’s jewelry collectors and what does one consider valuable and precious in the 21st century?

To view the collection made from Lego's, click on the title above. To learn more about Emiko Oye click here. Or simply follow her blog! Enjoy!

Color Theory: Memory, Tradition, & Inspiration

noreply@blogger.com (SuzyQ) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:41:00 +0000

What is it that inspires you to choose the colors that you do? Is it a childhood memory of walking along a sandy shore, gathering seashells? Perhaps it's the memory of sleeping out under the stars on a midsummer's night. No matter what it is that inspires us, at one time or another we all struggle with finding the "perfect mix" of beads for a project. Join fiber artist Alice Starmore and journey along a path intertwined with memory, tradition, and inspiration as she discovers the source of beauty in her colors:

"This blend is the result of my wish to capture the effect of the tide coming in over rocks at mid-day in high summer. The sea at this time is full of bright and lively blues, peppered with the glint of pebbles underneath. My favourite place to watch this happening is a cove called Geodh a' Chuibhrig near the village of Swordale in Lewis. It has a shingle beach of marvellous pebbles; a mysterious cave, and various massive rocks of different sizes and colours. There is one particular smooth black rock about twenty feet high, and it is from the top of this rock that I like to watch the summertide coming in. What follows is a story of absolutely no relevance whatsoever, apart from the fact that it has its denouement on this very beach near this black rock, so if you have no interest in tales of mutiny, murder and Spanish silver dollars, you had better skip...." (or read on)...

As you meander ("stravaigin") through her Hebridean collection, pay careful attention to her sources. It reminds me of the old saying to wander close to home when looking for inspiration.... Click on the title above to begin the journey... Enjoy!

Jonell's Butterfly Masterpiece

noreply@blogger.com (SuzyQ) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:58:00 +0000

My friend and fellow beadweaver Jonell created this masterpiece from following the Butterflies Galore pattern. Isn't it gorgeous?!! After creating the bracelet which appears in the April edition of Bead and Button (Butterflies Galore), she wanted to make a necklace using a rainbow of colors. She accented the center flower with leaves and chose clear crystals that shine like little diamonds. It is so beautiful in person!!! Thank you for sharing, Jonell - you are an inspiration!!!
If you're interested in the Butterflies Galore pattern, be sure to pick up the latest edition of Bead and Button magazine. Kits for the bracelet ("Vitrail Butterfly") are also available on my sister site: Beadweaver Studio.

How Miyuki Seed Beads Are Made

noreply@blogger.com (SuzyQ) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:11:00 +0000

I recently came across this article from Barry Kahn of Caravan Beads on the Harlequin Beads website. I thought I'd pass it along. Enjoy!

In April 2000 I (Barry Kahn of Caravan Beads) visited the Miyuki glass bead factory in Japan. My tour was fascinating and the information below is what I gleaned from touring the factory. I was not invited to photograph most of the process, sorry. -bk

How Miyuki Glass Seed Beads Are Made

Step One: Raw materials and recycled glass of the same color are mixed and melted in the furnaces. The Miyuki factory has both automatic and manual furnaces operating 24 hours per day. They are on the 2nd floor.

Step Two: When ready, molten glass from the furnaces falls through a hole. The shape of the hole determines the shape of the glass tubes. Compressed air hitting the center of the glass column turns it into a hollow tube of glass.

Step Three: After dropping to the first floor, the vertical tube of falling glass passes under a thick chunk of wood and turns at a right angle to become horizontal. Imagine a vertical length of rope passing under a pulley and then being pulled sideways. The scene in the glass factory is much more dramatic, however. For starters, the glass "rope" is still extremely hot so that it is slowly burning its way through the smoking piece of wood. In addition the tube of glass is actually being pulled over a series of metal troughs by a machine which not only pulls the glass but also cuts it into one meter lengths. The speed of the pulling determines the diameter of the glass tubes. A faster pull makes thinner tubes; a slower speed makes them thicker.

Step Four: The cooled tubes are sorted to make sure that they are the correct diameter for the size beads being produced. Any tubes which are not the correct size will be recycled and remelted to make new glass.

Step Five: The tubes are cut into beads. As the cutting room is not open to any outsiders, I can't offer further information. I did learn that one Delica cutting machine can only cut 4-5 kgs per day, which is one reason for their high cost. (And contrary to some rumors, Miyuki cannot run the Delica cutting machines faster to keep up with increased demand, with an accompanying decline in quality. Instead high demand just leads to longer waits for production). Delicas are not cut by lasers, by the way, another occasional rumor.

Step Six: Cut beads are mixed with carbon black and reheated to make them round. Delicas are only slightly heated; round beads are heated more.

Step Seven: The beads are washed. Miyuki has their own on-site water treatment equipment.

Step Eight: The beads are heated again to give them a surface polish. Basic opaque and transparent beads are now finished and ready to pack.

Step Nine: Fancier beads (AB colors, silver and color-lined, metallic, etc.) are based on the basic opaque and transparent colors. There are several different locations in the factory where dyes and other coatings are applied. Some beads require multiple treatments which directly influence their final cost. After dyeing or color-lining beads, Miyuki reheats them again to "set" the colors, a step skipped by some bead companies to reduce costs.
