Bead patterns  
This is a collection of the bead patterns I put did based on comic books I love, I'm posting it here so I can find it quickly.
yeah.. I'm geekiest beader ever )
I've been sick all week. I'm sort of tired of it now.
I made an Invincibility Star necklace I need to get a picture of soon.

YAY!  
My first e-book is up for sale now! It's got the original patterns from my knotwork patterns plus 6 more bracelet patterns.
I'm excited and hoping for the best. The best being, over the next couple of months, making enough to buy Mike the Foamy dvds he doesn't have yet for his birthday.

Need help from the TCG type people out there.. what are the dimensions of a deck and which game do you play? I'd like to make some printable boxes, including one with Mel's "stained glass" moon design for my son, they will be posted on my printables site too, but I need the dimensions, and if possible, any design considerations you think are necessary. Personally, I'm thinking a lidded box like a gift box, but I'm just not sure.

TIA!

Sometimes..  
Today I spent the day graphing out knotwork bracelets, and after I finished 4 different designs, I thought "Why not a dragonfly?"

And that was it, for the rest of the day. It took something like 6 hours to get graphed just right for me. Of course, I'm NEVER going to make it. It's 110 beads long and 90 beads wide, in either flat peyote or brick stitch.
wanna sneak peek before I post it with the bracelets? )

E and I walked up to the grocery store today, it's just a bit shy of 2 miles, and a friend saw us walking and offered us a ride, he looked at me like I'd grown another head when I said "No, we're just enjoying the weather and the walk." It's 35 degrees today! Positively summery!

It's finished...  
My Wonder Woman bracelet I mean. Figuring out the clasp was the hard part, but I finally did something I liked.
I think I may wind up doing a few pieces based on strong female role models, and I think I had a pretty good idea for the next one.
pattern behind cut )
Of course, anyone else who wants to make up that pattern can. I hope you like it.
