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.
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.
I laways love your beaded inchies, they're beautiful! Love the fez! Makes me think of doctor Who ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Margriet! I have not ever watched Dr. Who but I have always wanted to!
DeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks! Glad you liked it
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteThanks Dianne, it was really funny a few days later haha.
DeleteYou needed to have visuals to go with your riddle! Love your inchies as always!
ReplyDeleteLOL we were so mad that taking a picture was way out of the question!
ReplyDeleteI love all your inchies.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jolande
