I did some teeny fringed beads and used saran wrap and orthodontic elastics to mask off the finished fringes when I worked, so I know that will be a great idea!

What an incredible creation. Lilacs were my mom's favorite ever flowers. I miss her all the time, but especially when the lilacs are blooming - and they've just started to go past, here in VT. Such a huge amount of work... such a plethora of beauty. I wish I could come to B&B and meet you, and I wish I could see your work in person. But I am as happy as can be, to be able to say you're my friend, and to be able to admire your work and your words here online. xxxxxxNEDbeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112578445978978385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284884316719285197.post-21847417111471109312013-06-02T08:34:00.853-06:002013-06-02T08:34:00.853-06:00I hope you never get tired of me saying: Stunning....I hope you never get tired of me saying: Stunning. It is always the first thing that comes to mind when I see your beautiful pieces. <br /><br />For a time when I stayed with my grandmother she would place lilacs in the bedroom. It is a joyful memory. Thank you for reminding me.<br /><br />Many many many years ago when I would buy Czech beads by the hank the store would roll them in saran to keep them from getting tangled. Saran has been a favorite tool of mine since. (I use it to stuff my puffy hearts to provide structural support.) Saran might work the next time you have to "bag" something to avoid a tangling hazard.<br /><br />I love all your pieces Marsha, but this might very well be my favorite.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284884316719285197.post-24118584786742573962013-06-01T06:41:20.260-06:002013-06-01T06:41:20.260-06:00I have a bit of Norwegian blood myself, and I like...I have a bit of Norwegian blood myself, and I like things clean and simple too.

The piece is gorgeous, I love that you made it so natural and balanced, and not just pile on every trick you could think of (my quite Finnish taste is a bit more simple than the American more-is-more). A real fairytale necklace. I've also been bead weaving for six years, and feel really humble right now :D Thank you for sharing your process in such detail, your posts are very educational!Peikkonenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14383523414318512291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284884316719285197.post-75040830887170431622013-05-31T19:09:12.081-06:002013-05-31T19:09:12.081-06:00Thank you so much!

Some past winners have said that publicizing my work before the show will damage my chances, but I figure I have already won. And just like in the Battle of the Beadsmith, the real battle is the internal struggle and the stamina required to finish a project like this.
