DreamStruck Designs: July 2012
http://dreamstruckdesigns.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 17 July 2012. New experiments - updates. Remember my previous post about my air-dry clay and candy mold experiments? I spent a Sunday afternoon painting the little critters, rubbing on some gilders paste and sealing them. Basically seeing what would work and what wouldn't. Only 3 turned out passably well. I was aiming for 'stunning' but they came out more 'weatherbeaten' than anything else. Links to this post. Saturday, 14 July 2012. Bead soup has landed.in Malaysia! Here's a closer look:. And s...

DreamStruck Designs: May 2012
http://dreamstruckdesigns.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 May 2012. Not your everyday headpins. Are you as in love with fancy glass head pins as I am? The ones in the pic above are from Etsy sellers HavanaBeads. On left and right) and Midgetgembeads. Centre). I'll have you know that they're even prettier in person. My only issue with their outstanding gorgeousness is - how the heck do I showcase all that pretty? At the moment, the 3 sets (and ahem, some others) are sitting quietly in my bead case, waiting for me to be inspired. Links to this post.

DreamStruck Designs: BSBP postponement & new jewellery
http://dreamstruckdesigns.blogspot.com/2014/05/bsbp-postponement-new-jewellery.html
Sunday, 4 May 2014. BSBP postponement and new jewellery. As you've probably heard, Lori Anderson has been experiencing serious health issues and as a result the BSBP Reveal is now scheduled for 10 May. So do come back next week to see what I cooked up. In the meantime, I've surprised myself by completing a few simple pieces. I think working on my bead soup must have jump started my beading mojo. Anyhow, here's what I made - a bookmark, a macrame bracelet and a pair of earrings:. 5 May 2014 at 00:45.

DreamStruck Designs: June 2013

Friday, 28 June 2013. Bead Hoarders Blog Hop. The fabulous Lori Anderson is hosting. Blog hop. No swops or partners are involved this time. Instead, we just use long-hoarded beads from our stash to make something. Or many somethings if we feel like it. Links to this post. Bead Hoarders Blog Hop. Monday, 10 June 2013. Is not something I do a lot. So I'm always stunned, disbelieving and finally thankful when it happens. I'm especially gobsmacked and grateful this time around. Why? Links to this post. Subsc...

DreamStruck Designs: March 2014
http://dreamstruckdesigns.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 March 2014. Bead Soup is Here! My bead soup from my partner Donna has made its way here from the Philippines. And I am sooo thrilled! Donna is a fabulous polymer clay artist and she handmade the focal and matching beads. The beads have got a woodland fairy-sprite feel to them. A little Midsummer Night's Dream to my mind. I'm not quite sure what I'll create with these because I've never played with such beads before. I just hope I do them justice. And finally, another focal. I think. This is ...
