NEW Beaded Bracelet Pattern

goodquillhunting — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 13:25:53 +0000

My first new pattern of 2017! I named it ‘Rulla-Rific’. It is available on my website or on Etsy

I have also added a Clearance page on my website for jewelry I have had a while. I will add to it periodically, but there are some super low prices in there! Have a look HERE

In addition to beadwork, I have a love affair with yarn! I actually love needlework of all sorts! I have been sewing since I was 8 and I adore cross stitch. Many of us beaders have a variety of needlework in our background. I have added pages to my website for hats and scarves, etc. I have also become very determined to expand my knitting capabilities. Crocheting is my strength, as I learned that at 6 years old, my very first needlework. Here is a small preview of what I do, but you can see all the finished goods on my website in ‘Fiber Shop‘.

Savannah Necklace Pattern

Hi everyone! I have a new pattern/tutorial I just finished. This is the only design I worked up this Summer. I really like the little beaded beads at the top of the piece, they give the piece texture and I think they are fun too. The pattern is listed on my website:

After moving to Oklahoma the 3rd week of May, we have finally found a place to live. We have been living in a 28′ 1966 Streamline camper for the bulk of that time. It was being rehabed when we bought it, so we have been living in a ‘hard tent’all summer. The best analogy I can come up with LOL

So to celebrate, I am having the deepest discount I have ever had on my website. 60% off everything! It runs from today to August 15th, early am. The coupon is: Celebrate

This is the camper

Hi all! I have been away for a while now, but I have a bunch of new work to share! We’ll go from current and work our way backwards from my last post.

I found these FABULOUS embossed Vintage cuff bracelets and HAD to have them!

I have more where they came from and plan on getting more. I have them listed on my website and on Etsy. They are fun and affordable!

I found this gorgeous brass cross stamping and had a vision for it right away. This is also on my website or Etsy.

I have been wanting to make a Sami bracelet for a very long time now. I went for a non-traditional Sami bracelets and made it on a brass blank. Generally, these are made as a soft Unisex bracelet. I have one on the table in the works and hopefully more soon. Website/Etsy

I had fun making this next cuff bracelet. I actually bent the metal to conform on the sides. Website/Etsy

This next cuff has the most gorgeous stone! Imperial Jasper! Website/Etsy

Next up, I LOVE these! I bought a slew of Shibori ribbon with the plan of making about 10 of these, but stopped at 3 LOL I have sold one of them already, so 2 remain. Website/Etsy

These next 2 cuffs were made to announce a line of brass blanks from The Beadsmith. These are 2 of a few new styles they have available. They aren’t listed yet, as I don’t have them in my custody, but if interested, let me know and I can save it for you.

and last, but not least, I made a beaded bead tutorial

So that is 2016 in a ‘nutshell’…so far LOL I have tons of ideas, they never seem to stop. Be back soon

Catching Up

goodquillhunting — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 15:32:23 +0000

Thought I would catch up on all my beadwork to post. I have been very busy, crazy Summer. First things first, I would like to announce a SALE I am having!

SALE!! Finished work on my Etsy page. I rarely have a sale, so maybe some early Christmas shopping is in order? I have new items listed and I WILL be listing other things every day. I have LOTS of inventory! 30% off with Coupon Code: FALLISHERE Runs until Sept 26, 2015
https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoodQuillHunting

Now here is a barrage of work I have finished since my last blog post.

This is a take on Mirabella. I taught this in May at the Derby Building Guild in Kansas. I have made this into a tutorial. I had a few kits leftover when I got back, but they have both been sold since. You can get the tutorial either on my website or Etsy.

When I got back from Kansas, I was pretty low on hair sticks, so I plunged into those for a few weeks.

You can find any of these on my Etsy page. I haven’t listed them yet on my website.

I bought some 2-hole Cabochons and they are SO cute and little! I also bought some of the Es-O beads and loved them too. They are similar to a Super Duo, only squished I made a new pattern with those for a necklace or a cuff. Available on my website or Etsy.

Working for The Beadsmith as part of the Inspiration Squad, we were given some of these gorgeous new Czech glass cabochons. These are the 2 new pieces I have with them.

I have had this raku wolf head bead for some time. originally, I was going to make a cuff with it, but it turned into a necklace This is available in my Etsy shop.

Next up, I have had a few headband blanks for some time and wanted to do a headband. I also ended up doing a cuff to match. Each sold separately and both in my Etsy shop.

Somewhere in the midst of all of the above, I thought I would try my hand at some crocheted and beaded bracelets. I have seen many around and thought they were so fabulous. I have been crocheting since I was 6 years old, so this was old hat for me. These are on my website and in my Etsy shop.

Something else I have had for a while. This beautiful Vintage brass stamping. It isn’t perfect, but it is old and I loved it. This is listed in my Etsy shop.

I made a barrette similar to this a while ago and decided to make another one. This is also in my Etsy shop.

This next piece is made with a cabochon I created. It is glass and I have bunches more and I just love the marbled look. This is in my Etsy shop.

and I have another design getting ready for pattern publishing one of these days.

I think that is all that is jewelry related for now. In other notes, I am expecting my first Grandchild in December. We already know it is a boy and his name will be Jacson. In preparing for his arrival, I made these booties that you have all probably seen. I had to improvise on the top portion. As adept as I am to this needlework form, I had much trouble with the directions. They came out cute just the same with my improvisational skills. bonitapatterns.com

and a project we are taking underway next year…a camper. A Vintage 1948 canned ham overhaul and rebuild! I started a blog, but we are in the midst of straightening out the abandonment issue with a motor vehicle here in Colorado. Red tape…sigh Follow my other blog if you like. Probably won’t get anything else posted on it for a few more months.

So this concludes today’s blog post. I am not going to promise to post more often because that ends up making me a liar LOL I will promise you though, I will post again, soon I hope ! Cheers!!
