It Has Been A Week (Or Two)!!

Hey everybody, sorry that I missed posting last week.  There was a lot going on last weekend.  So I got a question for everyone,  more like a riddle, what do you get when you mix 10 lbs of sugar, 5 lbs of flour, 1 lb of coffee, a bowl of water and a 10 month old German Shepard?.......... you get TIRED, because after 4 hours of cleaning I got extremely TIRED!

Well, that was how I spent a nice portion of last weekend.  This weekend, however, I got to spend time with my beads!  No "baking" allowed this weekend.  HAHA.

I got caught up with my temperature necklace, here is the picture of February.


I did also get some of the past inchies from Every Inchie Monday that I missed done as well.  I only have one more left, but I was too tired to do the last one.

Here is India.  I like how the Om came out.


I got Vietnam done as well.  I do like how the colors came out on this one.


I missed last week because of the "baking" incident and so many other things going on at the house but I really liked my idea for Turkey.  I decided to make a Fez.  I have seen so many people (on TV shows from travel shows) that wear them, from Whirling Dervishes to regular men and women.  They were even banned in Turkey for a time!


This pic is a bit blurry but you can see the matte and opaque colors showing the difference between the top and the sides.  I like how it came out.

This week over at EIM the theme is Australia.  I could have gone with so many things but the one thing that has always sticks out to me is the Sydney Opera House, I really love architectural lines of the Opera House and have always wanted to do it in beads!  So here was my chance.  It was a lot easier said than done!  You sorta have to use your imagination on this one.  LOL  I used the "precast shells" from the roof as the inspiration for this one.


I have a few more things to show off but there was already a lot this post so next week!  Don't forget to fly on over to EIM and check out the great Australian tour inchies over there and have a blessed and creative week my friends.

  2. You blow me away with your beading! That fez brought back memories.....living in Libya for 7 years, a lot of the men wear them there and indeed across most of the Mediterranean Muslim countries- not in the Arabian Gulf however.

  3. I had a chuckle when I read your story of the aspiring young kitchen hand, having been on the receiving end of similar events over the years, (but I'm guessing it wasn't a bit funny at the time), your inchies are amazing...I always look forward to seeing how you have interpreted the theme, Dx
