Just Imagin

I try not to limit myself to any one style of Jewelry, I love seed beads and they are usually what I play with.  But every once in a while I wire wrap or play with metals.  I have so many ideas and desires to create unusual art pieces.  I just can't seem to find enough hours in the day.  Life gets really hectic sometimes.

  I'm just happy to have my hands, they love to create.

3rd and final design using the button and clasp Agi Kiss sent to me. 

I so enjoyed using all the wonderful and creative pieces my Bead Soup Partner sent.  

I'm excited that my partner is from Hungry, it looks to be a very beautiful place to be from.  I really hope that Agi and I will find time every once in a while to say Hi and remember how Bead Soup Blog Hop brought our lives together. Thank-you Agi Kiss!!!!

Here the my second design,using bead

 

embroidery

These lovely round polymer clay discs were also created by Agi

They have such character

Decided to put them into bead embroidery, because Agi is so good at this technique.

1st Bead Soup Design by CJ Bauschka

Crocheted Natural Stone Necklace and Earring Set made with beautiful handmade polymer clay impressed beads by Agie Kiss.  She is from Szeged, Hungary and a very talented artist with seed beads and polymer.  I could tell she took care in picking just the right Bead Soup for me.  I love these beads she made, they have an ole' world look to them.  Blending the creamy yet very warm impressed detail make the beads inviting, and that is why I choose to play on warmer tones.  Like the teardrop dark brown, and adding touches of green.

Wonderful Bead Soup

sent to me by my partner, Agi Kiss

She is from Hungary

Agi made this beautiful polymer clay cabochon

I love seed beads!!!!

How did she know my colors???

Saying Good-bye

Pastor Jeff's last day at Ogden

Today at Ogden Church we said our good-byes to Pastor Jeff Barbieri and his lovely family.  He came to Ogden four years ago as our teaching pastor.  He has been a true blessing, sharing his love for Jesus and his love for people. Prayers for him and Tamra as they listen to God's calling and step out into a new adventure serving Our Amazing God.  

Love you Pastor Jeff!!!!

Winners of the Giveaway!!!

The winners of 4 His Glory Creations by CJ giveaway are:
Jessica Stoops
and
Charis Designs

Congratulations!

Things are at a stand still

I know there are lot's of beady bloggers out there, at least 400

and it's not impossible to  reach my goal of 250

I have 84 follows presently

and I'm excited to have a new group of beady friends.  I love checking out what everyone is doing, weather you blog about your family or your travels, or what I love the most your bead adventures!  I might not always write a comment, or blog everyday.  I do love the fact that there are so many bead swaps and hops and color challenges.  Finding artists with just the perfect style or creators of fantastic beads.  I love that this is a place we can come if we wish, to share and to care for each other.  I hope those who have recently joined my blog will share the giveaway with your friends, your blog buddies on FB and twitter, and wherever you can share it.  Just think if I take a few beads out of every container I have, the bead stash giveaway will definitely   be very sweet to two winners. Lot's of goodies!!!

And guess what!?  This is my totally unorganized mess, the work table.  

Thank-you all for joining my blog

If within a few days if I don't reach my goal.  

I will have the drawing on July 18th
