June 2/16. The "made to order" sale is now over, and thank you so much to those of you who placed orders - I am still working my way through them, but I will get to them all eventually!<br />

My self imposed "time out" is over waaayyy to soon. I decided to take an on-line painting course by Jodi Ohl, and I loved it!! I knew I had to do something standing up, as my tail bone issue is just not going away, and painting seemed like just the ticket. I took her "Funky Little Cityscapes" course. Here are a few of my finished ones.<br />

I have listed a few oval holed Regaliz type beads on Lampwork Bead Market and on Artisan Lampwork Beads for Sale.<br />
<br />
My studio has been re-vamped so that I can stand up and torch, so just as soon as the weather gets out of the "minus" Celsius range I will be back at it making beads.<br />
<br />

I hope you all have a great December, and I hope to see you back here in January 2016. Thanks for stopping in.Jane Peralahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04042994138853116441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814139964369276851.post-86778723197079479742015-10-04T08:51:00.001-07:002015-10-04T08:51:54.221-07:00So much for good intentions!I had really planned to blog a lot more than I have - I have been busy, and had a few health issues - enough said.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it has been a few weeks of cats, cats, and more cats. Quite some time ago - over 2 years - I purchased a cat tutorial from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Glassbonbon">Cornelia Schmidt on Etsy</a> (she doesn't have it there any more, so you would have to convo her and see where she sells it now). I recently started playing around with it again and was not happy with the results I was getting using her exact instructions. So I spent a couple of days and a few rods of glass to see how I could change it to something I felt was more in line with my ideas. Here are a few (lots) of pictures of my results. I am selling them on Face Book - here is a link to one of the sites. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/lampworkbeadmarket/">Lampwork Bead Market.</a> You have to sign up and be approved before you can see what is listed, the same with the other ones - Artisan Lampwork Beads For Sale; Lampwork Beads For Sale; and there are lots more, but for me, those 3 work the best.<br />

I have decided to give up all the craft fairs and shows, as it is impossible for me to make the beads into wearable jewellery due to the arthritis in my hands. Fortunately, as long as I am careful and pace myself, I am still able to make the beads. I still have one show left to do, but that is with my show partner, so the pressure is off me and on to her! Lol.<br />
Anyway, on to the beads!<br />

Well, that is a quick look at my favourites from the last month or so. I hope you enjoyed the show!Jane Peralahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04042994138853116441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814139964369276851.post-53433451348867010312015-03-29T14:28:00.003-07:002015-03-29T14:28:41.761-07:00Encasing glass beads.It has taken me many years to figure out how to do the "all in one" aka "big swipe" (not sure what the correct term is) type of encasing, but I finally got it yesterday. For some reason it finally clicked. Am I proud of myself? You betch!<br />
<br />
Basically, you let the bead cool a bit, but not enough to crack, and keeping it warm in the upper part of the flame you then melt a huge clear gather, 2 - 3 times the size of the bead, and literally let it drop onto, and swipe it on the bead. Phew!<br />
<br />
This a small set that I have done with that type of encasing - no bubbles!!!! (or only very minimal anyway) lol.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is another set that is on Lampwork Bead Market too. This was not the same type of encasing - this was partial encasing.<br />

My Colour Fun series of beads was my interpretation, and they really are fun to make.

I have been selling my beads lately on Face Book in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/lampworkbeadmarket">Lampwork Bead Market</a> venue. Lots of great beads by lots of great artists - take a look, but you have to sign up to sell or bid.<br />

A new set of beads from me in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JanePeralaDesigns?ref=l2-shopheader-name">my Etsy shop</a>. I am finding that with the arthritis in my hands, making these small sculpted beads is a lot easier than the larger ones - I guess because I am spending less time gripping the mandrel. I love the feel of them, and I think I need to make myself a set of them for "worry beads"!<br />

Several opaque and transparent pink and green glasses were used to make this new set. I wrapped fine silver wire around some of them and silvered ivory stringer around others. A few have ivory frit sprinkled on them, and then some have been etched. It was a nice surprise to find the rosy blush at the mandrel ends (holes) on the minty green ones when I etched them - I love that, and it ties in so nicely with the pinks. Probably won't be able to replicate it - lol!Jane Peralahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04042994138853116441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814139964369276851.post-23361386895968563062014-12-12T16:22:00.002-08:002014-12-12T16:22:53.973-08:00Sand, Sea and Sky nugget beads.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I managed to hobble out to the studio yesterday (after my foot surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago), and made this set of nugget style beads. They have a really summer beach look to them, and I think would make a great bracelet with a little bit of silver thrown in for accent. You can find them in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JanePeralaDesigns?ref=hdr_shop_menu">my Etsy shop</a>.<br />

As you may (or not) know, I have developed a problem with my hands. It turns out it is arthritis - bummer! The doctor says I am not yet a candidate for surgery, and all I can do at this point is to control the pain with pain meds (Tylenol, Ibuprophen, etc.) and wear a special brace. He has ordered the brace, and hopefully it will arrive soon. Then I have to keep getting my hands checked every 6 months or so. I think when I go to get the brace fitted I will ask him about exercises, and if I am doing any damage with torching. The slogan "Use it or lose it" keeps going through my mind - not sure if it applies here or not.<br />
<br />
This arthritis is not good news for bead making, but I have managed to get some small beads made that I have put into sets. (Thank you to Daniel and Jenelle of Beads and Botanicals for their excellent colour recipes tutorial).<br />
I have put these sets on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JanePeralaDesigns?ref=hdr_shop_menu">Etsy</a>, and below are a few pics.<br />

I am not sure just how much I will be able to torch - time will tell. I plan to carry on as much as I can, although I will not be taking any orders, and making jewellery is just too painful, so that will probably put a halt to most of the shows I do. Not many people wish to purchase beads if they are not jewellery makers. I tried it once a few years ago, and all I ended up doing was making the beads up into pendants for the customers who purchased them.<br />
<br />
I did my one Christmas show a week ago - the Cedar Yellow Point Artisans Studio Tour. It was great, even if I didn't have a whole lot of new things, and surprisingly my sales were up from last year. Sorry - I forgot to take pictures!Jane Peralahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04042994138853116441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814139964369276851.post-81838704291893943972014-09-06T15:30:00.001-07:002014-09-06T15:30:51.369-07:00What I Did This SummerWell, it wasn't beads, that's for sure. Because of the problem I am having with my thumb/wrist joint I am not able to torch very much at all - in fact, even cutting a sandwich hurts. I have an appointment with the surgeon in mid November, so hopefully he has some ideas.<br />
Anyway, I couldn't just sit around twiddling my thumbs ('cause it would hurt!!) so I got out my large sheets of watercolour paper, my acrylic paints, and my bits and pieces of collage papers. First I put gesso all over one side of the paper, then painted various colours all over. Then I followed up with the collage papers - most of which I had made myself, and then painted in various spots again and painted the back in black. Then came the stamping with gold and black - I think I got a little carried away on some of them, lol. I cut them all up into book mark sized pieces, painted the edges in black, and gave the whole lot a clear coat front and back. My husband helped with the cutting up and the setting of the eyelets.<br />
I was thinking about adding some of my beads at the top, but figured that would just be something to "help" the book mark get pulled out, so I settled for just a piece of leather cord. I have been using one of the earlier ones all summer, as have a few of my friends and family members, and they are holding up really quite well. It is kind of nice to open a book and have a piece of original art work marking ones page for you :O)<br />

I am doing something I said that I "never would do" - putting my tutorials on sale. A girl can change her mind - right?<br />
Anyway, I figure if I am going to do it, then I will do it big - 50% off!!! I am just heading over to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JanePeralaDesigns?ref=si_shop">Etsy shop</a> to do the appropriate changes. This sale will last until sometime Monday morning (August 18/14).<br />
<br />
Now is your chance to get these two tutorials at a great price - you won't be sorry!Jane Peralahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04042994138853116441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814139964369276851.post-40852001463404573752014-08-09T08:38:00.000-07:002014-08-09T08:38:32.537-07:00Little Mermaids and "Life"It has been a hectic and sad couple of months here. My mother-in-law had a stroke and passed away peacefully in the palliative care here in Nanaimo hospital last month, and although she was 97, it was still very sad. She was a brave, determined, loving, and kind woman, and will be greatly missed.<br />
<br />
My daughter and granddaughter were in a car accident two weeks ago - thankfully both were not seriously hurt, but the car is a write off. A lady made an illegal left turn right in front of them, or I should say right <u>into</u> them! Although they are basically unhurt, they are both suffering from mild whiplash and my daughter is having trouble with her left shoulder, neck, arm, etc. I hope it doesn't keep getting worse. My husband has gone off today with her to see about getting a new car as she needs one to get to work.<br />
<br />
I put my back out last weekend and am still moving very slowly and carefully - I was reaching for my coffee - I tell you, that coffee is a killer!<br />
<br />
My wrist is still giving me a lot of grief, and I am looking forward to seeing the specialist - just not sure when my appointment will be. Hopefully he can do something, so I can get back to regular torching.<br />
<br />
Anyway - here are a few pictures of some new Mermaid pendants I made before the last show in July - sorry I forgot to take my camera to the show.<br />

These red and blue beads came out even better than I had hoped for - yay! If you look very carefully, and have a LOT of imagination, you might see some fantastical critters in the bead designs. It wasn't planned, but there they are anyway. <br />

I think I will rest my hand for the balance of the day and hopefully it will be healed enough for bead making tomorrow.<br />

However as I was cleaning the bead release out of the holes, I realized the caterpillar looked more like a snake, so I changed the name to it's present one. Maybe I will make another set without the caterpillar/snake and give it the original name! LOL.<br />

I also went through my bead box and came up with a couple of sets of orphans. These orphans are design/colour tests that did not make the cut for some reason. They are structurally sound, and there is nothing wrong with them other than my not liking the colour combination or design. These items are all in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jperaladesigns?ref=si_shop">Etsy shop</a>.<br />

I hope to be making a few more beads in the near future, however due to my problems with my thumb and wrist joints they will not be large sets. I can only bead for short periods at a time with several days break in between. For that reason, I will also no longer be taking any orders - sorry :O(<br />
