SO sorry I had to bail on the challenge...Hi Marcie!<br />SO sorry I had to bail on the challenge this week. My other life, the web design side, came calling and there just weren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. But wow, what beautiful treasures you've been designing!<br /><br />I love all of the pieces you've posted. I wasn't feeling the whole idea of the headband, but seeing one put together and actually in someone's hair, it really does look beautiful. Your challenge piece is gorgeous.... love the layered effect....... and the cuff is lovely. The toggles are perfect. I need to get more creative with toggles because I have had the worst luck with some sterling ones I've used in the past coming apart. :(<br /><br />I love the high road you've taken regarding the whole copyright issue. Wish everyone had the class and respect you have. Karma tends to be a bitch, so there's probably something *special* waiting in the wings when they least expect it. ;)<br /><br />Hang in there, and happy beading!Lisa Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215779686301724363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699267054092534847.post-24867899668238590252010-10-04T03:23:03.108-07:002010-10-04T03:23:03.108-07:00I love your pendant!

That cuff is outstanding also. Great way to incorporate structure into jewelry.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689689024413772471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699267054092534847.post-40883650398334655372010-10-03T17:07:16.079-07:002010-10-03T17:07:16.079-07:00That's really disappointing isn't it. I me...That's really disappointing isn't it. I mean tutorials these days don't cost a huge amount of money and one should respect the artist...you'd like to think being a beader themselves they would do that but obviously not.<br /><br />On a happier note I love what you have created. That headband is just adorable - what a great idea! The pendant is beautiful too and I love the little leaves you added. And what can I say about the cuff other than I l♥ve it!! Such a pretty design. Do you think you will be releasing a tutorial for this one (either for sale or in a magazine)?<br /><br />I think I am going to have to give "Margie and Me" a miss this week. I haven't even had a chance to check out my beads so I think I will start with the next palette you choose. Looking forward to it!<br /><br />KarynKaryn https://www.blogger.com/profile/00373451148501881597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699267054092534847.post-10633058482384114182010-10-03T14:06:52.384-07:002010-10-03T14:06:52.384-07:00So sorry to hear about the bad experience with the...So sorry to hear about the bad experience with the tutorial.

I have bought tutorials from artists and it would never occur to me to share that with anyone. So sorry. <br /><br />I love the headband. It looks so great on your curly hair. I was thinking that the bracelet you showed would make a spectacular headband. Would that work?<br /><br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699267054092534847.post-31678302272695572232010-10-02T07:39:07.974-07:002010-10-02T07:39:07.974-07:00Oh Marcie I am sorry that someone did that to you!...Oh Marcie I am sorry that someone did that to you! I am thankful that I did not see it that is just plain wrong!!! Your response was so dignified and respectful even though I know your heart is broken. <br />Your pieces are beautiful such beautiful work!<br /><br />HugsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000223877502634308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699267054092534847.post-50861434209898356412010-10-02T07:11:18.336-07:002010-10-02T07:11:18.336-07:00¡Ay caramba y lo siento muchacha! I can't bel...¡Ay caramba y lo siento muchacha! I can't believe that someone would share your tutorial. That's pretty low-down and dirty. The latest issue of Beadwork has an article on copyright issues...and I know that this knowledge does not help remedy the problem because going after the offender = time, money, and energy. A beady curse on the offenders - may their needles break and their threads fray and tangle. May the colors of their beads fade, run, and rub-off. May sharp cornered crystals shear their fireline causing thousands of beads and hours of time to tumble and gush into the floor and roll to the four corners of the room to be lost in the dust bunnies which inhabit those far flung reaches. Ojalá.<br /><br />On a positive note - OMG - that cuff is absolutely stunning! My jaw dropped when I scrolled to it. I love the pattern and colors. The pale blues and cream are a knockout. They remind me of the sand and sea (Gulf of Mx) at Destin and Seaside, FLA (where Truman was filmed). I can totally picture the scroll work in metal and stone in Southern Spain and the mid-east that inspired you. And I so admire your nimble fingers that can hold together the tiny stack to make a 3 row herringbone. I was just going crazy (and cut off all my nails) making 4 stacks. ¡Bravo!Lois Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908293685852842432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699267054092534847.post-57275510866960415612010-10-02T06:56:10.400-07:002010-10-02T06:56:10.400-07:00My goodness, but you've been a busy bee.

Love it.<br /><br />I think your response to the disrespect you've been shown is perfect. Seek the bright side of life! Still I am very sad to hear about this.SummersStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250150360701388415noreply@blogger.com
