Blog Of The Month in Beads And Beyond!


Do you read Beads and Beyond jewellery magazine? If so turn to page 55 in the September issue to see a little spotlight feature mentioning this blog as their Blog Of The Month! I was contacted by Jo of Beads and Beyond a couple of weeks ago and asked if they could feature my blog. Of course I said yes :D



Another mention, this time in a Glossi online magazine publication created by Leah Curtis owner of Beady Eyed Bunny. Leah's online magazine called The Beading Glass features her own work, step-by-step jewellery tutorials and jewellery and findings by other artists. She kindly featured my etched copper flower charms in the magazine this time.




You can take a look at Leah's magazine by clicking the link below...

I don't know about you but the prospect of publishing my own mini magazine is something that makes me feel quite excited. I've already signed up to Glossi! I know I'd love producing my own online magazine although I think a lot of thought and hard work will be necessary. Watch this space............... (but be patient I've got lots of other things I want to do first!)

    Congrats on both, Tracy! I enjoyed Leah's Glossi, it's too bad it is so pricey to get Beads and Beyond here in Canada :(

Combining Soldering And Enamel

The need to make cute, brightly coloured enamel studs propelled me into the world of combining soldering with enamel a couple of years ago. I knew from reading up on it that it was possible to enamel and solder on the same piece but wasn't too confident I was able to do it back then. It was a slightly embarrassing occurance that made me just get on with - I'd made some enamel studs with glued on stud posts. I'd used 2 part epoxy resin which was a job in itself as it set hard after 5 minutes so I had to keep mixing more up. The finished studs looked ok but that little voice in my head kept asking "are you sure you want to use glue?" I wasn't but didn't think I had any other way to do it so I used glue. I sold my first pair and merrily sent them on their way to Canada. A couple of week later the buyer got in touch to say the stud post had come off one of the earrings and the other was hanging off. I was mortified, apologized profusely and refunded her m...

Torch Enamelling - What I've been Up To Recently!

I've admired enamelled jewellery for a while now and not too long ago did a blog post about Etsy seller tekaandzoe  and her wonderful kiln enamelled creations. I didn't think at the time that it was something I would ever be able to do as the cost of kilns plus lack of space would be a problem for me. That wasn't until I saw an advert for a torch enamelling tutorial from US jewellery supplies website Beaducation  by Steven James . It's a great tutorial showing the basics on how to torch enamel on copper. Of course I bought it! I then spent hours scouring the internet for more information on torch enamelling, where to buy the tools I'd need and of course the enamel powders. There are quite a few UK sites selling enamelling supplies and tools but as usual I found the US sites had more choice (why do we always lag behind?) I bought some enamel powders from a couple of UK sites to begin with - Cookson Gold have a good selection but bear in mind th...

Etching Silver Using Nail Art Stamps

So my love/hate relationship with etching sterling silver continues. I've tried a few times now and always end up with different results most of them not that great to be honest. I've tried connecting the silver and a piece of copper to a 9v battery and also heating the ferric nitrate. Sometimes the results are good sometimes not so good. I currently have an etched piece of silver sheet waiting to be reticulated and rid it of the mess that is the etched "pattern".  I now know that using stamps and Stayz On ink just doesn't work with silver - the time needed to etch using ferric nitrate is much longer than etching copper and the ink starts to wear away after about an hour. This results in the pattern being patchy as the resist is eaten away and the silver ends up quite lumpy and course looking. I have yet to try using pnp paper. I don't know why but it all seems a bit of a faff to do. I don't have a laser printer so would need to find somewhere or...
