Weekly Wanderings Around the Beadosphere
Another beautiful fall Sunday here in Silicon Valley. It's cool and clear outside, the leaves on the little pear tree out back have changed and are starting to fall. Here's hoping the talented residents of the Beadosphere are having a similarly lovely day. Let's see what they've been up to this week!
A Bead A Day kicks off a week of sharing her Rings & Things blog partner items with "Forevermore" and wraps it up with a really beautiful bracelet she made using a number of the goodies.
Bead Origami made it to the Rings & Things traveling bead show.
Beading Gem's Journal - the week's "bookends" were Fabric Jewelery Tutorial links and Wire Wrapping Cabochon Tutorial links but in-between are some incredible designs using Swarovski, LED lights and a lovely pair if earrings to go with a leopard skin patterned wood bead necklace.
Wendy at Craft Dinner has been having a winning week! First it was cool goodies from HHH Enterprises, then the Rings & Things Guest Blog Partner drawing! She's also a regular Beadin' Path design partner and shared about the cool Lucite beads she just received.
Also Mrs.B at The Daily Whine posted a while back and I missed it, but she's planning to compete in the Rings & Things "Your Designs Rock" contest
Across the ocean at Deez News, Davinia's creating new earrings with interesting materials and her usual flair.
ErtheFae's "ArtBead" day, Elvensoul featured at the Art Bead Scene, and a coupon code you can use from Artbeads.com.
Just A Tish found inspiration on Sesame Street, had an idea in her head work out perfectly using her Rings & Things blog partner goodies - the wood chain creating the perfect backdrop to copper chain and gorgeous stones, very early morning beading, "life saving" memory wire and a reminder that the Bead Trends May deadline is nearly upon us!
Ladybead talks about Twitter.
Silver Parrot got her Rings & Things goodies, shares a lovely pink lampwork bead necklace, and the Friday bead porn post should definitely be on your weekly reading list.
Smutopia explains her recent lack of posts - it's *very* good news, congratulations Jessica!
WillowWalker's been very busy! Check out every day, but my favorites were Ice Queen, Eclipse, and Aurora. It's not only that she makes gorgeous dichroic fused glass focals, but the wire work she finishes them with is so beautifully done.
Beadalon Blog - a great idea for finishing off a multi strand necklace.
Friendly Plastic - Contest going on, ends the 18th.
Objects & Elements shares cool texturizing techniques & a great torch safety post.
Ornamentea's Shiny Little Things blog challenges you to try mixed metals.
Rings & Things blog featured "shellies" last week.
SoftFlexGirl announced the winner of the drawing, shared a "how to" post link for "Lucky Earth" necklace, and shared some fashion clips featuring designer love for yellow this fall.

Phew!! How do you do it!!?? Thanks so much for sharing such great info!! And, thank you so much for the mention!! :)
I also wanted to mention how cute your blogosphere picture is even though I see it every week. It caught my eye tonight in the blog reader, the words are in orbit there too! Adorable
Hi Lisa! I have a system :-) Step one is to be sure to have all the blogs "followed" in my reader and second is to re-use some of the last week's template so all I need to do is plug in the new week's links. It does take a couple hours, but I enjoy it!
(and you're welcome for the mention - it's my pleasure!)
- I have to second Lisa's sentiment, Dawno. You really stand out with your unique Blogosphere logo. I'd like to have it on a T-shirt. With the words orbiting...!

Dave, brilliant idea as usual! Wish the technology existed!
I just wanted to let you know that your blog is one of my two favorites, not to mention how inspiring it is for me. I am striving to become a better blogger. The AEDM challenge has helped by giving me something to blog about. Thank you so much for the mention and the "thumbs up" feeling it gives me!
WillowWalker, it's my pleasure to feature your blog and work. I love the glass art you share (and as a very satisfied customer love to wear it too!).
It makes me very happy to hear from you and know my posts encourage you!
