Ode to Lynne

ode to Lynne Ode to Lynne

Odes are good things

An ode is a song meant to be sung.

Since we all dance to a different drummer it’s not a huge leap of logic to think that we also sing to a different beat.

I know a woman who creates her own style with what she wears and what she does. She believes in innate goodness and whenever she can, she helps people see the good stuff that she sees in them.

I think she’s got a great beat! I made this necklace for her a while back at the request of a friend of hers and it’s called Ode to Lynne.

Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg (aka RiverPoet) travels around teaching people some awesome clay techniques. If you ever get the chance to take a class from her you’re in for an enjoyable time.

Whenever I look at this I feel like dancing and wonder what Lynne is doing.

Wool covered bead necklace

 

 Wool covered bead necklace

To me, wooden beads are packets of promise. They are wonderfully inexpensive and there is so much you can do with them. Here I have covered them with fuzzy wool and added little sequins to decorate them. The process is pretty easy and you can coordinate your newly knitted scarf with a matching bracelet or necklace.

The project appeared in a recent issue of Get Creative magazine. Click here to find out how to make your own version, step by step.

Cool stuff from Artgirlz

I just have to say, I love Artgirlz stuff. I found them at CHA this year and took a class from them to make a wonderfully funky felt, bead and charm necklace.

The result is just so wonderful. I’ve already added some bling to it so it sparkles deliciously and, as soon as I get home, I’m going to find other wonderful things to hang from it.

Their felt beads are imported from Nepal and they have the cutest little pewter charms. Look out for the crown which has four holes across the bottom and two at the top so you can hang things from it and have it hang from other things!

There are other cool, “must have” items in the range including felt flowers.

My plan is to incorporate some of the leftover beads I have (and some the girlz are sending) into the binding of my next mini book project. I can’t wait to have the felt beads dangling from the spine… they’ll look so cute.

I think you should go visit Artgirlz right now and lust after some of their wonderful stuff!
