Get Bettie Page Hair Easy .. Try the Hairfree brush!

por | | 0 comentarios




Bettie Page Pop Art, Colors Art Print Poster - 24x36When one thinks of the "classic pinup" few names come to mind faster than Bettie Page. A raven haired beauty and icon of the 50s, she was best known for her trademark hairstyle, bangs, blue eyes and uninhibited relationship with the camera. Bettie's hairstyle is one that women are emulating. Want the look? Here is how:





  • Be prepared to color your hair for the full "Bettie homage" look; unless your hair is already dark brown or black. Of course you can still the "the style" without dying your hair but it wouldn't be the Bettie Page look without going dark.


  • Have your bangs cut short. The bangs should be equal length across the entire forehead. The bangs need only be long enough to work with rollers or a curling iron.


  • Keep the hair (except the bangs) long, coming past the shoulders at least.


  • Tame the hair into big, soft curls. If your hair is naturally curly, try a relaxing product. Blow dry the hair with a diffuser and a round brush to achieve the big curls. If you have naturally straight hair, set it with big rollers for a few hours. Set the curls with a lightweight hairspray, as the look should appear soft and natural.


  • Use a large curling iron to tame the bangs. They should come straight down but be curled under just enough to add a little bounce and volume. Set with some hairspray.


  • And for the "pinup look" spice it up with a large flower on the side of your head for special occasions.

Bettie Page 12-Month 2011 Wall Calendar - 12x12If you frequently have to use high heat flat iron / curling irons on your hair, they will eventually damage your hair! Flat irons often heat up to over 400 degrees. Anything you can do to avoid that much heat on your hair is a good thing. I came across a very nice alternative called hairfreé™ self-cleaning hairbrushes. A cool line Get Bettie Page Hair Easy .. Try the Hairfree brush!of brushes that are beyond unique. With the slide of a button, this gadget hair brush pushes all the hair out of it, making it cleaner and easier than a traditional hairbrush. Another cool feature of these brushes is that you can convert each one to a vent brush by adjusting a knob. With a vent brush, you can speed up the blow drying process.  Another big plus ... these brushes can pretty much replace your flat iron and curling iron.



The hairfreé® brushes use the latest in ceramic technology to produce straight, soft, manageable results, performing just as well as the traditional round brush. Some of the benefits associated with Ceramic technology include:



  • Creating a smooth and polished effect with added natural shine.

  • Aids against static build-up.

  • Whilst drying the hair the heat is equally distributed for fast and effective styling.


  • Hair straightening or curling.

The Kreativ Blogger Award

Golden Girl Handmade Egyptian Style Soap by soapstar

I was recently honored with a Kreativ Blogger Award, care of Vicky from soapstar - an amazing shop filled with natural soaps and skin care products. At act natural * feel good! she shares the inspirations behind her wonderful handmade soaps. The combinations of colors and scents are so unique, and she pairs them with a handmade postcard featuring the inspirations behind each soap. I can’t wait to try the Egyptian inspired “Golden Girl” with scents of lavender, vanilla and black myrrh. Her blog is also filled with great photos, favorite Etsy finds and friendly humor.

I always love receiving and sharing meme awards, because it’s a great opportunity to see new blogs, introduce my favorite bloggers to each other, and check in with my sometimes neglected reading list to see what’s new. With the Kreativ Blogger Award, I also get a chance to share a little about myself. Here are the rules:


The Kreativ Blogger Award

1. Post the award on my blog.
2. Thank the person who gave it to me.
3. Link to the person who gave this to me.
4. Share a list of 7 things that you probably don't know about me.
5. Choose 7 great bloggers to give the award to.
6. Share a link to their blogs.
7. Leave a comment on their blog.


So, here are seven totally random facts about me:

- I absolutely adore summer. Summer sunlight seems to trap my memories more than anything else. Whenever the weather starts to warm up, I remember so many of my favorite moments.

- One of my proudest moments as a mother was when my 20 month old son picked up a piece of litter at the park and put it in the trash can.


English Bluebells by Mortira

- I’m a terrible housekeeper. My house is only tidy when I have a few hours notice of company coming. I’d rather be beading or blogging than putting away toys and arranging cushions.

- I’m terrified of elaborate beadwork. I know that I could do it if I tried, but I just can’t bring myself to spare so many beads!

- Several years ago, I spent nearly 24 months creating a ‘Persistent World’ multiplayer video game on the Neverwinter Nights platform called Realms II. By the time I was done, interest in the game had started to dwindle, and I had no audience to share my creation with. One of my life’s biggest regrets is never being able to see others playing it.


Uskada Orc Village - Realms II NWN PW Server



- I love fashion. Ever since I saw an episode of Project Runway, clothing design has been a casual interest of mine. I have no sewing skills and no fashion sense, but I love seeing what others can do.

- I love reading books with my son. We visit the library as often as we can, and I let him grab whatever he wants off the shelves. He likes to read the same books over and over until I can’t stand them anymore, and we trade them for new ones!

Thanks so much to Vicky for passing on the Kreative Blogger Award to Inspirational Beading. And now I’m sharing it with these great bloggers:

Additions Style - Inspiration Infused with Creativity = Limitless Possibilities
Artful Living on the Bluff with Cindy Caraway - Live Simply, Make Stuff, Play Music, Save the Planet
beadsandblooms
Cristina Amador Handcrafted Jewelry
Daisy Chain Jewellery with Jo Southampton
The Lemondrop Tree - Live in Your Imagination
My Everything Corner

These are some of my favorite blogs, for various reasons. They all provide a great reading experience with plenty of inspiration. Enjoy!

Week 23 :: Lesson Learned Recently

por | | 0 comentarios

I constantly feel like a work-in-progress.




I can see the woman I want to be, and the life I want to lead, and sometimes it's just not clear to me how to get there.

I'm taking Kelly Rae's Flying Lessons e-course right now, and to say I'm feeling overwhelmed is an understatement. There were times last week (and the week before, and the week before that) where I questioned the sanity in taking two e-courses back to back on top of trying to learn how to make a website (because I just can't afford to pay someone, though if I could, I so would), write an e-course/e-book of my own, run a jewelry business, blog, network, and, you know, be a good sister, friend, daughter, auntie. Oh, and do laundry.

There were times when I said, yep, I'm nuts. And there will be more of those moments.

There were times when I cried in frustration. And I probably will again.

I've been pushing my limits, and a big part of me is scared of breaking apart like I did last fall. Depression isn't fun, it isn't easy, and I don't want to go back there.




But then I had an ah-ha moment that Oprah's always talking about last Friday, thanks to Kelly Rae's class. My moment had pretty much nothing to do with that day's class topic, but it came from Kelly Rae acknowledging she was feeling overwhelmed. Here's what it was for me (it's a multi-part ah-ha moment):

It started with: I'm nowhere near where I was last fall. I've outgrown it. (And I felt the pressure lift a little.)

Then moved to: Pushing my limits is a good thing, a healthy thing. And so is a day off. (A little more.)

And finished with: It's not that I'm miserable, it's that I'm uncomfortable. And that's okay. (Deep breath.)


My ah-ha moment showed me that this is all a part of the process of evolving. I'm learning that I can acknowledge the overwhelming feelings without taking it into me. I'm learning that it's okay to feel overwhelmed in the first place. I recognize I'm going through a creative growth spurt, so it's okay to feel uncomfortable - this is pretty much creative puberty. And like puberty, it'll end eventually, right?

The Wonder of Beads and Ring Twenty-nine

por | | 0 comentarios

The Color of Sound by photoboothguy
The Color Of Sound

Seed beads have a great advantage over other colorful art materials like paint, fabric and paper. If you could find opaque seed beads, and transparent ones, in exactly the same shade of cobalt blue, they would look absolutely nothing alike. And what’s more, they would react in totally different ways to other beads and colors. The way each type of bead finish plays with light creates a totally unique color experience. It’s no wonder that a beader can never have enough - there are thousands to choose from, and each one is totally different from the last.

Today’s ring uses a zesty and zany combination of transparent cobalt and chartreuse, with a little fiber optic pink to top it off. It really pops! Replace either the green or blue with an opaque version, and the ring would look completely different. Or, try picturing it with all color-lined seed beads instead. It’s not the same at all. You could say that none of these options is better or worse than the others, but I’m awfully fond of the glow that occurs when the transparent beads pick up the sunlight.


Atlantis Star Ring by The Sage's Cupboard
Ring # 29 - Atlantis Star

Transparent cobalt has always been one of my all time favorite bead colors. I have a pretty large collection of perfectly round cobalt blue Lucite beads that I may never have the courage to part with. Even when I was using plastic beads, I hardly ever used my blue ones. They glow and shimmer in a way that makes my inner magpie drool and do cartwheels. I will probably be stuck with them forever, like some kind of vanity related baggage.

I made “Atlantis Star” to match my entry for the Etsy BeadWeavers July challenge, which is still a work in progress. I have a pretty good stash of transparent cobalt Miyuki seed beads, but I don’t mind parting with them, because I can always get more.

Title: Unique Hand - Bagsstone-encrusted, bulb-shaped




KEAN: "Bella" might be Italian for beautiful -- but for Filipino designer Bea Valdes it's the name of one of her signature stone-encrusted, bulb-shaped bags. ?Let's take a look at her new fashions. STORY: Barely three months after she presented her collection in New York in?2005, fashion magazine "Vogue" called her creations the year's must-have evening bags." ? With names like "Siparaj", "Calypso" and?"Jasper", each bag is a character that tells a story. The meticulous design and intricate beading have caught many a fashion lover's eye, including celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Julie Delpy and designer Rachel Roy. The bags are one hundred percent handmade and are created by a painstaking process. A group of artisans sew in crystals, feathers, sequins and semi-precious stones one at a time. Some bags have up to 17,000 crystals, while others are filled with tiny beads. It's no wonder it takes an average of 45 days to finish off one of these creations. And no wonder they cost at least 2,000 U.S. dollars. [Bea Valdes, Bag Designer]: "The fact that it's done by hand in this day and age. There are a lot of things that are sort of, cut and sew, and we try and do everything from you know, one bead at a time, which is, if you think about it, is the traditional way of how things were made." Valdes has no formal fashion training. For her it's a process of trial and error. Her operation is small. It takes a new beader eight months to master her bag making process. Every bag has just one artisan work on it from start to finish. [Berning Mariscotes, Bag Crafter]: "We are proud of ourselves that our work has made it to other countries. Bags that have passed our hands are now being used by Hollywood stars." Valdes' bags are available in Europe, the U.S. and Asia at high-end boutique.

Frosty Chemistry Set Bead Palette

Last week I tried using one of my own bead color palettes, and ended up with a pretty nice little peacock pendant. It inspired me to go back and explore some of the possibilities of other palettes of the past.

The first triad I ever created is one that I’ve been wanting to use for a long time. Chemistry Set was made from a photograph of Saturn’s rings, and used purple and green seed beads with fiber optic cubes and rectangles. I always liked the combination, but I never got around to making anything with it.

Recently, I acquired some really pretty matte green druks in a sort of minty shade that perfectly matches my shamrock lined crystal TOHOs. So, I used these to replace the peridot green of the original palette and got to work.


Chemistry Orbs Pendant

Chemistry Orbs Pendant

I used my old standby, circular brick stitch, to make a pendant of four circles connected in a lazy zig-zag. I have only ever used the design with rivolis, but the brick circles are so much faster to stitch up, and easy to work with. I think I might have to revive the idea on a regular basis.

Eventually I added some purple cats eye beads to the mix as well, to pair off with the druks. They match the seed beads almost perfectly and it worked out really well.

The shamrock green doesn’t give the palette the same industrial vibe as the peridot. I think it’s much more organic now, and the shape of the pendant is like motes of pollen clinging together under a microscope. Somehow it always comes back to nature!

We also use Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and other social networking sites to spread the word about what we make.

An interesting new seller tool called SoopSee is making it easy for Etsy sellers to gather up all of their online activities into one place. With just a few simple clicks, you can import your blog RSS feed and all of your current Etsy listings into one place, plus provide contact information for any shop or venue that you sell from.

Your SoopSee profile is like a landing page for your business - a place to see everything that you do in one glance.
