Leaf Peeping - Noir (by Jan Lockhart)

I wanted to post this picture for a long time...

This necklace was created by Jan Lockhart using my pendant "Watch Me Now". I especially like how Jan used the two big black leaves on the sides of this necklace. Jan sold this necklace even before it was completed.

She has a more detailed description here:

My Class in Philadelphia, PA

Yesterday I spent most of the day with people from Philadelphia Polymer Guild and had an opportunity to share my faux cloisonné technique with them.

What a wonderful and talented group of people they are! I enjoyed my visit a lot. They have such a nice and relaxed atmosphere in the group, freely sharing ideas with each other, supporting and cheering each other. I especially liked the show-and-tell part of the meeting, when many people brought their creations to the table to share them with others in the group.

Lack of self-discipline or a creativity spike?


I have so many things I should have been working on – my website, new article, tutorials, entries for a couple of contests, my class this weekend… Yet I sat down this Sunday and started sculpting these orchids. I just could not stop!

My New Article


My new article “Easy Faux Cloisonne” is coming up in Step by Step Beads magazine, in March-April 2007 issue. I received the contributor copies yesterday.

I am very excited to see it published. This article explains how to use the technique to make framed two-sided beads. They are pretty neat and quite un-usual if I may say so myself!

There are a few more beads of this type here:
