Finally Back

Wed Oct 7, 2009, 8:28 AM
  • Mood: Neglect
  • Listening to: Nightwish
  • Watching: Record of Lodoss War Tv Series
  • Drinking: Coffee
Computers may make life easier in some ways, yet when they die, or go on the fritz it can take forever to get back to business as usual. Without a camera to work with at the moment, I am unable to post my newest beaded mosaic masks I have made. My apologies to everyone who has watched this site in hopes of new creative ventures.
I was told that my laptop needs a new motherboard, and my tower is beyond salvage. Perhaps I
will be able to get a new machine some day. Not for a while, as money is tight and art is not
selling in my area. I am doing resumes and writing fanfiction to stay in writing shape because at the moment most publishing houses are being unfriendly to freelance writers. I hate the economic crunch in the USA right now. People have no money to buy books, or magazines that carry freelance articles.
On the bright side of things, I have no pressure to get a deadline met which is nice. I can bake to my heart's content and catch up on things that I love to do.

Thanks for the welcome. It isn't easy doing tiny seed beads one at a time with fast drying glues, but it keeps this dyslexic author sane Hopefully I will figure out how this site is set up soon. I apologise for the hold up in replying. I only just discovered the comment portion of the page. Your own page has inspired me to make another beaded bag and I thank you for that gift.

No worries-
have you tried 'weldbond' adhesive? It's such a user friendly- excellent glass bonding product- dries clear. I use it almost exclusively now.
I look forward to seeing more of your work. Best wishes- jenevieve

I haven't heard of that glue before. Mostly I use clear set Tacky glue for the paper mache masks I make myself when doing sead bead mosaics. I typically use a heavy varnish to make certain the beads are sealed into the work, and it can be cleaned anytime as a final protective coat.

On metals I use JB Weld quick set. (My life dream is to bead a car hood in dragons with pretty celtic border designs. LOL)
I'll have to see if I can find this weldbond and play with new goodies. Chuckles.. I love playing with new stuff when I am not writing for a living. :) Thanks for the tip on new things to explore. :) That's what I love the most about getting to talk to toher artists, new things to play with. Do you think the weld would work on poly clays? Just curious since I use poly clay sculpting as bead foundations a fair amount and am looking for a good solution to making the glass beads stick to 3D forms.

LOL, plus my space slot, and oh geeze, I swear you have more of my beaded art work up on your my space than I have an awareness of even having pictures of the work. LOL.. IF you had my consigned work residing at Creative Ventures You'd even have that in your friends artwork folder too I bet! LOL.. You should put your own artwork up, like your great necklaces you design brattikins! Haha
