<br />
Det er morsomt å prøve ut litt forskjellige metoder for å lage smykker og annet. Jeg har slitt med en dårlig arm i noen uker som har gjort det vanskelig å lage større ting. Senebetennelse i albuen/armen er bare dumt.<br />
<br />
Men fordelen er at jeg får muligheten til å kose meg med nye metoder som krever litt andre bevegelser og er mindre krevende som sådan.<br />
<br />
Dette er blant annet å flette med metall wire, noe som er helt nytt for meg.<br />
Jeg begynner alltid med en opplæringsvideo fra YouTube, men det er ikke alltid så enkelt å finne de rette størrelsen på smykke wire. Eller jeg har slitt litt med det. Løsningen har vært å tvinne flere tynne tråder sammen for å skape en perfekt tykkelse.<br />
<br />
Trying out new methods and having fun with metal wires at the moment. I am still trying it out, starting with instruction videos online and then adding my own flavour to it. Fun and interesting!<br />
Below you will see a couple of the jewerly I have made the last weeks. Feel free to comment! :-)<br />

I love the finer beads, like these which are semi-precious. However, they are expensive to buy and also I do find that in many instances they have surprisingly small holes which limits the type of thread one can use. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
This necklace and the earrings was part of batch I bought where they were suggested used simply by size. However, I felt that I wanted to do something a bit more. The holes were too small to really get a good threads into them and that did limit my ideas a bit. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
So I tried several different ways to get these to flow better, when I hit upon this design. here I have simply put one of the smallest beads inbetween the larger beads. I really liked the finished expression. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Only issue, again, is how to get an image to really show the amazing colors of the beads. I am getting better I believe, but still, it is difficult. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
As I have leg that will not heal properly, it is not easy to enrol into a photography class either. So I just have to muddle through on my own. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
At least I am very happy with the design "in the flesh" so to speak! </div>

I am not really fan of yellow as such, but when it is mixed with the orange and the red as leaves on the tree.....I absolutely love them.<br />
<br />
I have a fairly large, leafy tree outside my living room window. I have no idea what the tree is called, my husband is the garden enthusiast here in the house. However the colors are special.<br />
<br />
I will use this as an inspiration. Can't copy mother nature, but one can be inspired!<br />
<br />

I was travelling with my family and they of course were more interested in seeing the sites than seeing the jewerly and artwork.<br />
<br />
Me, on the other hand, was fascinated by the designs and I am still fascinated. I am in no way on the same level as these artists, but several of the designs I have made these last weeks have been inspired by this diverse culture. I have for the first time included feathers in some of my work and I am working on a design for a dreamcatcher, or rather, several.<br />
<br />
So hopefully I will have more to share in the near future. Hope you all have a great summer. Here are a couple of pictures that show what I have been working on these past weeks.<br />

With all the running around checking fever on the kids, I had to do something that I could just leave when I was needed. The paracord is easy to pick up again and does not unravel. Thus I could just have fun and make stuff without having to start over again when I came back from helping the kids.<br />
<br />
So here is a bit of what I made.<br />

I was torn between wanting to make something in green and make something in blue. I couldn't combine the two, or rather, I could, but I didn't like the result. Perhaps I was in a bit of a blue mood?<br />
Anyway, I decided first to use a glass heart pendant as the centrepiece and then I used a suede, green thread to form the basis of the necklace. The two materials together was a very nice touch. In addition I placed several white glass beads at the end fo the thread, making a focused ending.<br />
<br />
Then I turned to the color blue and made a small, but sweet bracelet. This was in sky-blue, small beads sett with an elastic cord. Thus it can stretch as the wearer needs it to, but it will also sitt tight against the wrist if one wants.<br />

I tend to wear turtlenecks and scarfs as I do tend to freeze a lot.<br />
When I was younger, my mother had a chocker necklace in black. I really liked it, and now I decided to try my hand at making this type of a chocker, with black beads.<br />
<br />
Then, for a bit of color, I added a glass pendant with a lot of color against a black backdrop. The beads are braided, but I do not know what the technique is called. It makes for very firm and at the same time elegant knots.<br />

However, I was inspired by a couple of pin interests to see what the combination of leather and metall could do. So I made two bracelet that both focus on combining these two materials, but in slightly different ways.<br />
<br />
The first one just has several bronze coloured rings as decoration. I have threaded the leather cord in these rings.<br />
The second has silver spiders as decoration, however, I tend tried to keep the rest of the bracelet very plain. I liked the look of the metall agains the leather.<br />

I had a very firm image of it in my head regarding the design, but I struggled with getting it into something I could work with. First I started with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here I had used string around each bead. However, I was uncertain as to how to get a good placement.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
So I tried:<br />

I liked the concept, but when I had finished it, I didn't like it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I used Kuminhio braids and braided with blue and metallic tread with the beads in regular intervals. The result: </div>

These are three strands of Kumihimo braided strands that are then braided. </div>

I thought this would be fairly easy, but nooooo. An incredibly curious dog and a little girls that absolutely wanted to participated made the job a lot more of a mess that it needed be.<br />

Here I have all the supplies ready. It was a bit of a struggle to try and find a bowl that was big enough to submerge the mask. You can see one mask is already in, and the other is waiting on the side.<br />

Here I have both in, finally. I think I spilled the plaster at least 10 times, just a bit mind you, trying to keep track of the dog and the little girl who wanted to see what mommy was doing. The dog managed to get a plaster in her fur so I had to clean that, and then my little girl "helped" me by pouring the plaster in the bowl.......<br />
<br />
Then came the tricky part. I had to make sure that the shapes didn't get stuck to bad in the plaster. Here is a picture of me using a spoon to gently break the almost dry plaster off the mask.<br />

I am rather proud of this as I have never done anything like this before. I now know a lot more, so I hope the next similar project will be easier. I am looking forward to trying to make plastic masks soon, but I will wait to make sure that the plaster is completely dry and also paint it to try and make sure that the plastic coating doesn't stick to hard to the plaster surface. </div>

The boys, 8 - 10 - 12, are getting a bit too old to enjoy being creative with their mother. They are more concerned with games and playing legos and stuff like that. However, they do love to paint and also to be allowed to run amok in all my crafts thing.<br />
Now the boys wanted to make masks, and of course my little girl, 3 years old, wanted to do the same. And if I have to keep buying masks for them to paint, then I would be broke before the end of the week. They are surprisingly expensive. So I bought two masks and then I use a liquid plastic stuff to try and make a mould. I don't really know if it worked yet as I have to add a lot of layers.<br />
I am a bit pessimistic at the moment, as I think that the plastic liquid has really stuck to the base. Hopefully it will work, but I will keep adding more layers.<br />
<br />
Here is what it looks like today.<br />

But here are a couple of pictures of my last project:<br />

Here you can see the beading plate. I was extremely glad when I got the bobbins, the little plastic circles that helped med avoid tangles. I had so tangles at the start that it wasn't even funny!</div>

I hope the spelling is the same in English as it is in Norwegian.<br />
It is lots of fun, but also a bit frustrating as even the smallest of mistakes can mess up a braid and at least at the moment I can not see the mistake until after I have finished the braid.<br />
I have ordered a couple of bobbins I think they are called that help keep the threads in check. I have found that this is an absolute must! At least with the thinner thread and the wires. So here are a couple of examples of what I have made so far. A bit rough still, but fun!<br />
<br />

I don't know if it is possible to see, but there is actually a metal wire braided in with the black thread. Fun, but the wire seemed to have a life of its own.<br />

This is the one I was most pleased with. This is all metal wires, purple and grey. The colours look wonderful with each other and the overall look was very nice.<br />
I have decided to make this into a necklace and I have added a pendant in similar colors.<br />

It is perhaps a bit difficult to see, but there are both round and square beads in addition to the heart pendant.<br />
<br />
This is then the end result. I thought the colours worked well with each other, but it can be a bit difficult to see in a picture perhaps.<br />

So I thought I would make a couple of earrings with these birds and a couple of blue beads.<br />
<br />
This is the result. I thought they were cute. Two different pairs.<br />

Case in point, the making of this green/grey/reddish necklace.<br />

The basis of the necklace was the square pendant and then I wanted to pick up the green colour and use that in beads that formed part of the necklace. So I got a couple of green square beads with a touch of pink and gold. However, I didn't like the look of those beads with the other beads I have. So I wanted just those two styles, however the hole in the green squares were too narrow. So I could not get the grey thread into it. So I had to think again.<br />

I could not get a grip on the beads with the thin thread. So I decided to add some metallic separators and then hang the square beads from that. I must admit, this was very, very far from what I originally had planned, but I liked it.<br />
<br />
Here is the finished necklace:<br />
