Brave Girls Club

 

I have been following Art to the 5th Academy, The Documented Life Project.  I haven't actually completed a project yet, but it is something I want to explore.  I feel like my soul is seeking some other artist ventures, where I can express my feeling and help uplift myself and gain some perspective.  I think I am also looking for somewhere that I can put my thoughts and emotions, in a positive way.  I have been faithfully reading and seeing what everyone is doing each week.
 
The inspiration is amazing, and can't wait to set up a little space in my home so that I can experiment, and try my had at this new venture that has piqued my interest.
 
While looking at last week's new challenge, there was a special guest post from Melody Ross, of Brave Girls Club.  I had never heard about Melody or the Brave Girls Club, you know when something is pulling you in a direction, whispering quietly telling you that you need to follow this path and see where it leads.  Melody offers a bunch of creative ways that you can be brave but also fulfil your true path.  The Brave Girls Club website is beautiful and offers all kinds of eye candy for the soul who is looking for pretty things and inspiration.  There are three different levels that you can choose from, depending on what you are looking for and what your budget will allow.
 
I have been floating in a cloud of frustration lately looking for some inspiration and guidance.  Somewhere that I can be gentle and kind to myself and feel uplifted.  The Brave Girl Soul School I believe is going to help me along in my journey.  I can't wait for my packages to show up.
 
It has been so long since I have posted on my blog, I have been on a bit of a hiatus, really more like hiding out.  I had done a post along time ago when I was in a bit of a dark place and my husband had told me that I shouldn't share such personal information.  Ever since then, I have stayed away from writing down my thoughts or just sharing.  I am hoping that my hiatus is leaving and that I can get back to doing regular posts.
 
Much love,
Penny

8th Bead Soup Reveal

Hip Hip Hooray!!!  It's finally here!  I can't wait to see all of the loveliness that everyone has made, I am always absolutely gob smacked when I go on my blog hop everyone's talent makes me speechless.  I feel so honored that I am able to participate in these challenges.  Do you every feel like you have been invited to the party but you don't know if you should show up because you are going to pale by comparison.  I feel the love from this community because I have never had anything but support and I have met some wonderful friends in our wonderful community it is my own misgivings and insecurities that get in the way.  But this is such a great time, I have missed the last couple of years and I didn't want to be standing on the sidelines this year.

Our wonderful host Lori Anderson of Pretty Things paired me with a fellow Canadian, my first time and I was paired up with a kindred spirit, Alicia Marinache, All the Pretty Things.  Alicia sent me a wonderful soup, filled with beautiful goodies, 4 that were handcrafted by her very hands.  If you didn't see what I received I have added a picture so you can see before all the simmering took place.



 I had definite ideas about what I wanted to do with the large hammered copper leaf.  I am a lover of long necklaces and I knew that the leaf would be perfect for something long, originally I was thinking that I would stick with the pink and plum tones but something felt like it was missing, I was looking through some of my magazines for inspiration, and I came across a necklace that had some plum and pink mixed with turquoise, and I knew that it would be a perfect accompaniment for this necklace.  Of course working with copper always makes me happy happy!!!  This necklace has been knotted with Irish wax linen, and I handmade a tassel in teal to accent the turquoise.  I am not sure if I over did it by adding the Humblebeads Mum connector but I like the mix and I thought is complimented the colors that I used in this necklace.


My second necklace features the beautiful copper heart with the inland ruby stone, I wanted to go in a different direction with the heart and make the design delicate.  I created a necklace awhile back by crocheting several strands with seed beads and I thought having a mix of pinks, with pink crochet yarn would make the necklace look soft and delicate and add some dimension of color as well.  It was an interesting process to crochet 5 strands it took me three shanks of yarn and several failed attempts later to finally have 5 strands to create a necklace.  I almost thought I was only going to have one thing to show for the big reveal.  But I persevered and completed the 5 strands that I need and I reveal to you my finished necklace.


I have a bracelet in mind for my remaining beads that I would like to create to compliment my first necklace, I am hoping that I can get cracking on that this weekend if time allows.

I want to give a great big thank you to my wonderful partner Alicia, I loved my bead soup and I am very happy with my creations.  I hope that you had just as much fun with your soup as I did, and maybe when you travel to Calgary to visit your sister some day with can get together and chat about beads!!!

Lori Anderson thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting on this bead soup, I know that you have been struggling with your health and this couldn't have been easy to due under the circumstances and I appreciate all that you have done for me and our beading community!! May you feel some peace and your health take a turn for the better.

Happy hopping!!
