<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
is a hard post to write. When I retired from the art show circuit in July 2018
I thought I would spend the next year working on the other aspects of my art
business. I would set up a soldering
station and play with metal, explore wire work and setting stones, and develop new
techniques and new designs. However, I found that without the constant need to
replenish my stock for upcoming shows there was nothing driving me to crank out
work and new designs. Other interests drew me in different directions. Things
like my garden, remodeling projects, travel, and chairing the master gardener
plant sale.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">So
in December when my friend Hayden Starbuck said to me “you are either all in or
all out”, it really resonated with me. It gave me the incentive to look at how
I was conducting (or in this case not conducting) my art business. It gave me
the encouragement I needed to say it's OK if it's time to be all out. It is
still a very hard decision to let go of something you built and invested so much of yourself into. I keep second
guessing myself. But I remind myself of those words, all in or all out. </span></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
month I have set up appointments to pull my inventory from my consignment accounts.
My existing inventory will remain in my online store for a bit and I may post
some of the items I am bringing back from consignment. I will keep my online presence
and if I create new work I'll be sure and post it on Facebook and Instagram and
let you know. And if I feel inspired to do a studio show or garden art
party you will all be invited. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you have old work of mine that needs refurbishing please feel free to contact me. I am not dismantling my studio or getting rid of tools or materials. You never know when I will get the urge to dive in to a box of beads or stones. <span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I have much gratitude towards all of you for the
support you have shown me during the last 10 years as I took my part time
business full time in order to make a living. I couldn't have done it without
your support and feedback. Thanks so much! </span></span></span><br />

I took a fun class out at Old Goat Farm Nursery on using plant parts to create molds that get filled with PMC (polymer metal clay) to create jewelry components.<br />
<br />
PMC was created in Japan in the 1990's. The material consists of microscopic particles of metal (copper, bronze, silver or gold) and a water-soluble, non-toxic, organic binder that burns off
during firing.<br />
<br />
For our class we used sterling silver clay. I was surprised at the weight of the finished pieces. For molds we used sheets of polymer clay that had been created by imprinting various leaves. We evenly pressed our small rounds of PMC onto the molds. Then we carefully removed them from the molds. <br />
<br />
The playing card was so that we could transfer our pendants to the drying area. I used an imprint of a cedar frond for one side. <br />

They were all laid to dry on a warming tray. At home the artist uses an old toaster oven. <br />

<br />
Drying is important. If there is still moisture in the piece then it can explode during the firing process. Once dry they all go into the kiln, at about 1650 degrees! <br />

My completed piece. Not the best design, but when I take a class I focus on learning technique rather than the outcome! <br />

While we waited between steps we had lunch in the garden and toured the nursery. We met the rescue goats, peacocks, donkey and other birds. A very nice way to spend a day. <div class="blogger-post-footer">For more see my blog at http://beadware.blogspot.com</div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04747899288790418345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530571484073073179.post-60407613993565675182019-05-29T10:24:00.000-07:002019-05-29T10:24:25.147-07:00Back to the Studio<div style="text-align: center;">
This spring I have been putting my creative energies into my garden and home. It is time to start getting back into the studio! I find I can not just step back in and expect to be creative. I have to be in the right frame of mind to be creative. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I wandered into the studio and started to straighten up. I ran across a bag of old necklaces and parts that a friend had given me to repair and remake. It is rewarding to see how well worn some these older designs were. I appreciated getting the chance to improve upon my older work with better materials and techniques. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The original necklace circa 2007. The wire was likely 7-11 strand. It had become brittle and broke.</div>

For the remake I upgraded the wire (I use a 49 strand steel wire now) and restrung all of the beads. I redid the end where the strands and leather come together, making it more secure. The added a small piece of amber to the golden chalcedony. She had lost one of the matching earrings so I was able to find similar beads and remake those. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Circa 2002. I could not find a before of this one. I restrung the glass beads, crystals and pearls with the better/stronger wire, gave it a new dragonfly clasp and gave it a good cleaning. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The turquoise earrings were circa 2002. My friend had lost one. I no longer had the original large sterling bead, but I found something similar. The other 2 earrings are not my designs, but I was able to remake them using similar materials. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to my friend for providing me with a good exercise to ease me back into my studio. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img class="pswp__img" height="213" src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/1f5fa604/dms3rep/multi/desktop/8af99dc2-1cc3-461a-9817-bb31edb0e929-b9741e16.jpg" style="backface-visibility: hidden;" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<br />
One of Dixie's first creative endeavors was studying fashion design.
From there she went into retail management. She took her love
of color and texture from fabrics to glass. She has been working with
stained glass for more than 20 years and fused glass almost as long. She opened
her shop in 2008 to share her knowledge of glass and provide a place for
other glass makers to find supplies and take classes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image may contain: plant, table and indoor" class="spotlight" height="320" src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/25353972_1777320068978715_8614239688597422701_n.png?_nc_cat=110&oh=2f053fcd16985acf31dca88ea9b419ea&oe=5C1A92EE" width="320" /></div>
<br />
Eastern Wind Glass is located in downtown Bremerton near the corner of
Callow on
Burwell.There you will find an assortment of supplies for glass art
making, both stained glass and fused glass. Have a stained glass piece
that needs repair? Contact the shop to discuss your needs. Or perhaps
you have an idea for a custom piece in mind. They also have glass art
from several glass artists for sale. And they offer a wide variety of
classes.<br />

adults. They provide all the tools. Classes include beginner and advanced classes. See
the full schedule on her <a href="https://www.easternwindglass.com/services">website</a>. For those who already have the skills studio and kiln time can be purchased. Classes also are posted on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/easternwindglass">Facebook page</a>. Check the website
for the store hours and be sure to stop in the next time you are in
Bremerton.<br />

Found in Indonesia, Florida and Georgia, fossilized coral consists of marine skeletons that have been preserved in stone. The entire process takes place over 20 million years and occurs under very specific geological conditions. During the process the coral remains gradually being replaced with
agate. Often the result is flower-like patterns in colors ranging from
white and grey to rusty tan and oranges. <br />

This stone is such a pretty color. At Ventures - Gifts for Good in Pike Place market they can not keep necklaces and earrings I make with lapis in stock. I recently made a few new designs for them and these beauties are now available there. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "inherit" , "serif";">The
name of this stone comes from 'lapis', the Latin word for stone, and 'azula',
which is Arabic for blue. This opaque, deep blue gemstone has a grand past. It
was among the first gemstones to be worn as jewelry and worked on. At
excavations in the ancient centers of culture, archaeologists have again and
again found among the grave furnishings decorative chains and figures made of
lapis lazuli – clear indications that the deep blue stone was already popular
thousands of years ago among the people of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Greece
and Rome.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "inherit" , "serif";">The golden
sarcophagus of King Tutankhamen was richly inlaid with lapis lazuli, as were
other burial ornaments of Egyptian kings and queens. It was used extensively in
scarabs, pendants and other jewelry, and ground into powder for dyes, eye
shadow and medicinal elixirs </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "inherit" , "serif";">Another of
its earliest uses was as a pigment for paint. It was ground up into a powder
and mixed with binding-agents to produce the intense, but expensive,
ultramarine color favored by many early Masters such as Michelangelo. Many
pictures of the Madonna, for example, were created using this paint. Unlike all
other blue pigments, which tend to pale in the light, it loses none of its
radiance. Today the blue pigment obtained from lapis lazuli is mainly used in
restoration work and by collectors of historical paints. </span></span></div>

Lots of new things happening with Beadware. This month I attended my first wholesale gift show. As a result Beadware will shortly be found in a number of new locations. I will feature some of them here as the orders are delivered.<br />
<br />
My first order at the show was from Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. This family owned store has been on the Seattle waterfront since 1899, and no that is not a typo!!<br />
<br />
From their website: <br />
<br />
<i>Before the Space Needle. Before Woodland Park Zoo. Before the Seattle
Aquarium. Even before the automobile replaced the horse and buggy, there
was Ye Olde Curiosity Shop!<br /><br />When Joseph Edward Standley set up
his curio and souvenir shop on the waterfront in 1899, Seattle was a
rough ‘n’ tumble town. The city was still reeling from the Great Fire
only ten years before, and the newly replaced wooden docks rang with the
footsteps of timber laborers, mine workers, and wannabe gold
prospectors headed to the Alaska Yukon.<br /><br />Those footsteps usually
took people down to Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, and in greater and greater
numbers throughout the years. The lumberjacks changed to office workers
and world travellers, but they all wanted to know: where else could a
body see a walrus skull with three tusks, buy a miniature totem pole,
and touch the vertebra of the world’s largest whale? Local and
international visitors alike found “1001 curious things” in Daddy
Standley’s free museum.<br /><br />As they will today. Over the course of
five generations, the collection has done nothing but get more
interesting. The ongoing stewardship of Standley’s family has brought
shrunken heads, mummies, natural oddities, taxidermy treasures and
manmade wonders from all over the world into the shop. Ye Olde Curiosity
Shop plays host to more than a million visitors a year these days, and
many are on a return trip, eager to share the experience with their
great-grandchildren.</i><br />
<br />
They now carry a small selection of Beadware earrings. The shop is packed so if you do not see them just ask. <i></i><br />

<br />
In 2009, after a hiatus from working for someone else, I began to job hunt. Between the big crash, and not finding anything that really interested me, things were going no where fast. I began to ponder, could I make a living with Beadware? That October a local farm was holding a harvest festival and were looking for vendors. Hmm. Could I?<br />
<br />
I had no outdoor set up. But luckily, my old Beads and Bubbles cohort and I had visited outdoor art fairs to take notes and get ideas. We were pondering our options. And then I moved. In September I dusted off those notes, got online and started shopping.You may be surprised to see that my very first outdoor set up uses many of the same components I am still using. I did a trial run in the backyard.<br />
<br />

My sister suggested I try the Fremont Sunday Market in Seattle. I made the commitment to try it for a year, rain or shine. While in the end it did not pan out financially, I would not trade that experience for anything. I refer to it as vendor boot camp. Putting your booth up every Sunday, tweaking, learning, networking with other vendors, making new artist friends, learning how to work with customers, etc. For several shows I even did a shared booth, but I quickly out grew that. Here is an early booth, a shared booth and a booth towards the end of that year.<br />

That experience gave me the confidence to start doing other shows. That first year I participated in 49 events. Crazy!! I have learned what shows are a good fit and now do 20 - 24 events a year. I have started to do some wholesaling. That is a whole new world! In 2013 I took a business refresher course. Last year I began taking some metalsmithing classes in the hopes of adding some new techniques. The challenge I have been having with that is time!<br />
<br />
Of course my work itself has changed over the years. I now do much more work with stones and less with bright colored glass beads. My techniques have become more precise and better quality. You can browse through the galleries of past work on my website to see how things have changed. My photography skills have also improved over time.<br />

In my last post I said this was the final chapter, but that is not true. There is still more to come! Thanks to all the friends, family and customers who have come along with me on the exciting ride. <div class="blogger-post-footer">For more see my blog at http://beadware.blogspot.com</div>Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04747899288790418345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530571484073073179.post-44238079936721947322016-05-12T07:53:00.002-07:002016-05-12T07:53:48.352-07:00Happy 15th Anniversary - Part II: Beads and BubblesAfter the first sale and going thru the process of incorporating as a sole proprietorship, I teamed up with a good friend, Maria, who had started a soap making business. We held our first joint sale that following summer in my home. My initial "look" was one of bright colors and whimsy. I used a piece of clip art for my logo.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqYv5xFexvXjVb12SI-d7uO4ki4ipVJ3Y51rBsqgHb592q2RWubfuw8coXe-qSo3isekpfaOGN10gBiVgU17Do6Ic-xX_1AXSlNLZQ_t2zWi83O4iILVbMIcTWz_xHec6gyfAdxthLUo/s1600/BeadwareLogo9x9a200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEqYv5xFexvXjVb12SI-d7uO4ki4ipVJ3Y51rBsqgHb592q2RWubfuw8coXe-qSo3isekpfaOGN10gBiVgU17Do6Ic-xX_1AXSlNLZQ_t2zWi83O4iILVbMIcTWz_xHec6gyfAdxthLUo/s320/BeadwareLogo9x9a200.jpg" width="309" /></a></div>
I choose a font that I felt reflected that theme and created business cards, tags, signs and sale post cards. By that fall, Maria had incorporated her soap business into Earth Essentials and had plans to expand into other types of personal care products. We enlisted the help of my neighbor, a graphic designer, to develop our next iteration of sale flier. She coined the phrase "Beads and Bubbles" and our sales were called that for several years. <br />

My home was situated in a strategic location, excellent for folks to stop into on their way home from work on a Friday. We'd add another artist here and there for variety. I would enlist the help of a friend or 2 to work the floor and Maria and I would run the check out. Folks would hang out in the living room sipping wine with friends after a long week of work. We were a hit!<br />
<br />
Then I decided to make the move to the west coast. We had a final fling to help me reduce my inventory. I have not had a sale that big since! Friends clamored for me to return, so I would go back once a year (usually before the holidays) to do sales in other peoples homes. I had planned ahead for this and left a set of display items with a friend. I would pack all my jewelry in a carry on suitcase. Boy did I get wacky looks from the TSA scanner folks when all those little pieces of metal showed up on the screen! <br />

After a few years I started doing holiday sales in my new home. Those early sales were a challenge, as I was still building a following and my new house was a destination instead of on the way to somewhere. I usually tried to find someone to partner with, that had a larger list of friends than I did. And mother nature threw me some challenges, in the way of storms and no power! But I did not give up. <br />

After couple years I added a spring sale and began to expand my list of
other artists to include. Sales unusually had 4 to 6 artists. I even had demos and live music. At the same time I opened an online store in Etsy.<br />

I have been beading for much longer than that, but it was 15 years ago that I incorporated and became an actual business. My records go back to the date I incorporated and it is fun to look at some of the to-date numbers. For instance, I have made 5257 pairs of earrings, 1236 necklaces and 1509 bracelets. The crazier part is over 90% of those have been sold!<br />
<br />
I began beading when I was a teenager. I liked making things for myself and as gifts for friends. Seed beads and daisy chains were all the rage (does that date me?) I used to order supplies from Gloria's Glass Garden in Berkley CA. I still have an example of the "groovy" packaging and one of the daisy chains. <br />

As I got older, my interests changed and the beads got packed away. Many years later my interest in beading was re-ignited when I came across that box
of beading supplies tucked away in a closet. Naturally I had to dive
right back in! I gave things as gifts to friends and family. Looking back at photos, I realize how nice my friends were because some of that work was just plain awful! But I continued on and with practice improved my skills and designs. <br />
<br />
After many years of giving my work as gifts I ventured
into the world of the small business entrepreneur and Beadware was born. I was between jobs and someone suggested I try selling my wares. I sent out invites for a December home party to everyone I know and worked for a solid three weeks making things. I was amazed at the response. Here are some photos from that first show.<br />

Side Door Pottery is another of the great artists you will meet at my
studio sale on May 13 & 14. If you have
been to one of my studio sales in recent years you would have seen her
work. <span class="fbLongBlurb">Side Door Pottery is whimsical painted porcelain that is functional and sculptural. All hand painted and one of a kind. </span><br />
