In the midst of all my blogging about The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop and the business of selling my work, I was contacted to do a custom order! A buyer on Etsy fell in love with my beaded Einstein sheepdog pin the moment she saw him, and asked me to make her one! She said he would look great on her winter coat! I am so excited! :D
But, today, I looked through my bead stash, and realized that I am running out of a few staple colours that I should have on hand. Einstein is made from several different browns and a pale gray in size 15 Japanese seed beads. The colour I really wanted to stock up on is a Miyuki Matte Metallic Khaki. I just LOVE how it makes Einstein's coat shimmer ever so slightly. Mixed with the other colours, I don't require a lot of that particular colour to make Einstein, but I don't want to run out either... So, I did a little shopping at Beaucoup Beads in Scituate! :D
In addition to my favourite colour, I also picked up a Root Beer and a Metallic Dark Bronze. Root Beer is a bit dark to use on Einstein, but I am thinking I can use it to make a beaded Rudy (Irish Jack Russell Terrier) pin to add to my Etsy shop in the future... Everyone seemed to love Rudy - he was really the first of my bead-embroidered dogs to become famous! So, that's my idea. Until then, I currently have 4 different beading projects on my kitchen table. Guess I'd better get to work! What will you be working on this weekend? ;)
