New Website & back in the Studio...</h2>
Time does fly! Last year was kind of health bust for me... into this year, but I continue to tinker in the studio, not at the pace I used to. I am so enjoying the Kumihimo beading & designs with seed beads and of my clay focal pendants and large beads. Finding new purpose for old copper pipes... and it's not to scrap.... I cut them, clean them, kiln fire, then pickle the pieces then I cut them in shapes or hammer them in a disc die shapes, clean them up and put holes for dangles and ear wires and ready to torch enamel or kiln enamel...<br />

taught… just love You-tube for all the “tutes” such talent! coming
full circle…. started back in the early 80’s doing Native American
beading with quills ( mostly self taught) the journey took me many
paths… met many passionate Artisans in the art of beading, clay &
Arts including fibers….so, now I am combining all of what I love in the
ancient Japanese art of Kumihimo! I will be posting more… Happy Spring

Here's the moons and some Ladybrook charms nice and dry, carefully cleaned and ready for first kiln fire to bisque... next photo is after glazing (sorry no photo of that one..there will be others!) this is the 2nd firing in computer controlled kiln, it's so exciting to open the kiln to see the colors and how they came out!!! I can not tell you the amazing feeling every time I open the lid...it's such a thrill. Below is a picture of the moons with their glazes! so much color! Love it!!<br />

Last glaze! this time the Mother of Pearl over glaze!

Now in my studio, I am busy making each one into a unique "Moon Dreams" suncatcher! These Ladybrook Designs© Moon Dreams and will be available soon at the Retail Stores I have listed on my website here, shops you will enjoy visiting & online! will keep you posted!

And...these are now my "Moon Dreams" all done! I design them with natural stones, crystals, Solid Brass wire that I hand form and there are no two exact... i do create sisters... but not exacts...so each are individuals! and a beautiful to celebrate the sun with rainbows and energy of the stones & my handmade beads and moon! I have been making these for years and they have been evolving.... and available at these fabulous, amazing places.... the Emerson Resort, Mohonk Mountain House, and now at Saugerties Antique Center in Saugerties,NY!

Wow, with so many places to show and tell.... I need to simplify, I am overwhelmed with all the places to bop! It's exciting there's so much to read, see and explore...it's with indiemade and so easy to design and add and promote... I have been looking for an easier website than the one I had for years with Register.com ....just too hard for a non savvy computer person.<br />
<br />
so, I am happy and thrilled with my new website and look forward to fill it with my creations and grow....<br />
<br />
I recently designed a new website for my <a href="http://www.ladybrookdesigns.com/" target="_blank"> Ladybrook Designs</a> that includes a shop of my original one of a kind jewelry, a blog, news, studio, store and about.... so it is all in one and connects to everything....FB, Flickr, google, and many other social places....<br />
<br />
Happy Happy Spring to everyone! It is a new season....change, growth, renewal and adventures.....♥ ChristineChristine ~ ladybrookdesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02154253344621023119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128664842929945290.post-71766143501434676562013-03-27T08:49:00.003-04:002013-03-27T08:56:32.265-04:00Published!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Also, the banner voting is on for BOC! I entered two of them... they all look great!<br />
Artisan Whimsy is growing leaps too! Now I have a pile of newly created porcelain beads, pendants, buttons & charms to glaze and fire....<br />

With this global world we live in, I have now added shipping to Canada & International. In my studio, I have been busy glazing beads, pendants & charms that I am so looking forward to get in the kiln! This a year of change....<a href="http://www.blog.beadsofclay.org/" target="_blank">Beads of Clay</a> is going through what I know is great changes, over at<a href="http://artisanwhimsy.ning.com/" target="_blank"> Artisan Whimsy</a> Melinda Orr and the team are gearing up for new and exciting plans! So much going on!! Blooms of ideas!! You know Spring is about here! Recently I became a sponsor & sent off beads & pendants to the<a href="http://www.beadcruise.com/" target="_blank"> Bead Cruise</a> participants...I know they all had a blast!! and enjoying the wonderful memories, learned techniques in beading, made new friends & got lots of bead 'goodies' from all of us sponsors! Studio is still a work in progress... but enjoying creating in my own space!<br />
Well, back to the Studio and glazing... Happy First of March...go check out the First Friday Etsy <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.374162269357479.87060.362214923885547&type=1" target="_blank"> Art Walk</a>! Great stuff!

<span id="goog_620990569"></span><span id="goog_620990570"></span>Here it is November!! One day I hope to be better at blogging... been away from the computer for some time except for quick peeps here and there, dealing with a quirky computer & health .... but I have been in my new studio working, YEAH!! (although still not finished) and it feels fabulous! Was able to finally glaze some beads & things, with my rolling glaze cabinet filled with many kinds of glazes it's just great! thanks Mom for finding the cabinet and hubby for putting wheels on it making an opening for more glazes, storage...<br />

New glazing area!! Finally out of the basement!! Love the skylight overhead! All the electric is not done yet but managing with extension cords! There will be a long light under the shelf to light up the area. Have to be careful I don't get it too cluttered up before the electrician puts in the lighting!LOL!!<br />

One of my handmade LadyrookBeads became a focal bead in a necklace handmade<br />
by jewelry designer/artisan <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Giantoniadesigns">Rita of Giantoniadesigns</a>. This special necklace described in Rita's own words "I had the hearts and ribbons bead targeted for a piece that a friend of
mine asked me to create for an auction to benefit breast cancer
research. I also used the adorable little heart charm you so generously
provided for me." I asked Rita to provide me with the makers of the other artisan made components ... she excitedly let me know they all have shops on Etsy too! So again in Rita's words..." The beautiful word bead was created by
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/dianehawkey">Diane Hawkey</a>. The copper heart was created by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jadescott">Jade Scott</a>. The lovely
lilac lampwork beads were created by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/hmbstudios">HMB Studios</a>.. The hand dyed silk
ribbon was by Jamn Glass. I had also used some Vintaj Natural Brass
components as well as the "inspire" charm. " So cool to have my bead in good company! Great piece Rita!<br />
Thanks Rita for sharing & creating with handmade artisan components! Continue your wonderful designs! I know one very lucky person will be proud to wear this lovely statement necklace!<br />
The beauty of clay is it's endless ways of creating with it!! <br />
Wishing a happy day to all...blessings & blissings!♥<br />

Here's the rolling glaze cabinet... I have so much bisque to glaze, can't wait to get organized to start the new work! Hope you all enjoyed your St. Patty's Day celebrations! This warm weather is amazing!! The ticks here in our woods are everywhere!! Loving the Crocus blooms, the Daffodils coming up! It's definitely a season of new, change, growth & adventure!<br />
I am thrilled with the <a href="http://beadsofclay.org/">Beads of Clay</a> group I am part of! They are doing an amazing job of promoting our Clay Beads & sharing with the world our passion of clay! I am looking forward to growing in my studio & having my creative imagination take off!! In the meantime, I am working on getting the studio done, have more to go, but will keep you posted! I am also working on the Magic Door....you'll see.....<br />
<br />
I recently did a show Expo at the beautiful, historic <a href="http://www.mohonk.com/">Mohonk Mountain House</a> where I will be demonstrating beading at the Barn Museum there this summer as I have been for years! It's an amazing place to get away and be removed from today's stresses and go back in time.<br />
<br />
Well, back to getting organized, sorted....OMG!! Is that possible??! for a bead creator & clay lover?? I am hoping so!!! Hubby won't add on an addition...LOL!!!<br />

Wishing you a fabulous day! Blessings & Blissings! ♥ Christine <br />

It has been a long lost year...managed to survive life threatening health issues, and it has been a long recovery! but on the mends & back with clay & going forward!! Studio is coming along beautifully.....should be in there soon!! Recently have been in touch with my clay group <a href="http://www.beadsofclay.org/">www.BeadsofClay.org </a>and amazed with the growth of the group & amazing designs!! So, I will be adding more beads to my etsy store and soon be adding jewelry to my website. I never gave up my dreams! I feel grateful, humble & thrilled to be going forward....back to clay & working on the studio....love my old metal sink base ( a Craigs List find), that was very rusty but with our hard work of sanding & cleaning & repainted, it is now restored! hubby laid down bamboo flooring in the front room area of the studio and we are leaving the back area cement, where the clay, glazing & kiln will be.

November has bid us farewell and here we are into December! Time has taken wings!<br />
<br />
Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with blessings & cheers & lots of turkey with all the fixins' !! So much rain came down yesterday our big rock in the basement has a channel where when heavy rains come, the water makes a little stream ( a little Ladybrook ❤) right into the floor drain to outside. Wish I was in my new studio...sigh...but will be soon, so in the meantime I had to bring all my clay & stuff back to the basement (arghhhhh! no room!!) and dealing with it!LOL!! "it won't be long" "it won't be long"!!! I did manage to make some new snowflakes & pendants, which are over by the woodstove drying. Will photo some pieces later & show. There's so much going on with Beads of Clay!! and I was thrilled that my Empowered pendant was chosen along with sister clay Artisans for the Black Friday Giveaway!<br />
