This is what I've been doing in my spare time. Making beaded bracelets/cuffs! Yippie! I use the beaded embroidery technique and sew them on wool felt. Once the beading is finished I carefully cut around it, glue the back and add another layer of wool felt so you can't see all the strings and knots.
So, to celebrate that I am:
1. posting new stuff to my blog
2. got my scanner working again
3. doing something somewhat creative
I'm giving away this bracelet/cuff in a random drawing. Leave a comment and your email addy and on December 15th all the names will go into a hat. Who ever gets drawn out will receive this as a gift. The beaded area measures 6 3/4 inches long. So, let your friends know and let me know what you think about my bead work. Thanks!
Big Hugs!

  11. Hey, I have a blog but have never used it. Thinking of sitting it up to maybe sell dolls on. How do you attract people to this blog for giveaways or for selling merchandise. Do you just advertise??? if so, can you give me some ideas on where.
    When you have followersor follow others, can other people that they are following link up here????

  12. Terri, your beadwork is DRRRROOOOOOOOOLLLLLYYY. I'm the lucky recipient of one of your beaded creations (a little beaded bag; it holds my tiny hair toys) from a Makin' Dolls swap, and your cuffs are just as fab!

    Best of luck with all your artsy endeavors.
