HowTo Make a Casablanca Bead

Drilling Drill Jig: I prefer to drill along the length of the bead instead of across it. If you are lucky enough to have a drill press, this kind of drill press setup will work best. Pin Vise: (For those who aren't that lucky): If you didn't dimple the bead prior to baking, use something like an Xacto blade to start a pilot hole. If your bead is shorter than the length of the drill bit, drill until you can feel the drill about to break through, but don't let it. If your bead is longer than the length of the drill bit (get a longer drill bit ;-) or drill a little over halfway down the length of the bead, then tackle from the other end and hope the two "tunnels" will meet in the middle.

Its simply nice to share Along the way, I've had some polymer artists extend themselves and share their knowledge and present me with great opportunities. Kindness should overflow, shouldn't it? So it seems appropriate that I make my first small attempt to 'give back' with a tutorial at the beginning of America's week of Thanksgiving.( A special thanks to Ronna, Cynthia,Claire, Lynn, Tracy, and Christine.) There has been some interest in my fiber-y beads so here goes. 1. 2. 3. 4. Here are the beads used in a finished piece. (Please feel free to use the beads anyway you want.

Ma petite theiere I always feel blessed when my dear customers send me photos from their home, with my illustrations hanging on the walls or standing on shelves or furniture. It really shows me how people are living with my art around them, how it surrounds them with special feelings and colors. I know I’m less active here than before, but be sure I’m still here, creating, illustrating, painting… and that your support means a lot to me, more than ever ! This blog post is dedicated to all my dear fans and customers from all these years. Those who follow my art journey, my artist life and connecting what I do with their own personal life. To all of you, THANK YOU I sometimes feel I’m on the Internet creative sphere for too long now. If you, too, have photos you’d like to share with me, you can send them to me by email or even in a Facebook PM.
