Clay Beads - Making A Bracelet

Once many people have purchased their clay beads they are unsure about what to do next. Most people want to make a piece of jewelry but they my not know how to get started. In this article I want to show you how to make a bracelet. This is one of the more simple places to start and will be a great way for you to begin your journey in this new hobby.
1. Make a plan.- The first thing you need to do is plan out the plan for what you want your bracelet to look like. You need to think about the purpose your jewelry will serve. Will it be casual, professional, or formal? You need to decide what type of material you will use for the wire. Will it be metal, plastic, or leather? You need to decide what types of clay beads you will use. This will include thinking about color and also what pattern you will put them in. You also need to decide if you are going to add charms of any kind onto your bracelet. This is a necessary yet fun part of the process as you get to dream big about what could be.
2. Work the plan.- Now that you have a plan you need to get to work. You first need to measure the wire you chose and cut it to the right lenght. Then you want to either put a clamp on one end or tie a knot of some kind. This will keep your beads from falling off. Now you can start adding your beads in the pattern that you chose. lso, do not forget to add your charms in the right place if you chose to use those.
3. Evaluate and then add the finishing touches.- Now you need to look at your bracelet and decide if you are happy with it. Did the pattern you put your clay beads in turn out as you had hoped? Did the charm work out well? Will your bracelet fit and serve the purpose that you made it for? If you are happy with all these things then you can add the clasps and you are finished. There are many kinds of clasps and knots that you can use. If you are not familiar with these then I encourage you to look online for video tutorials on how to use each of these or go to your local beading store and see if their are classes that you can take. This is process is not difficult but there are more details and options than can be mentioned here.
Now you are finished. You have taken your beads and made a work of art. I hope this article has been helpful and that you have enjoyed the process. Keep up the good work and enjoy being a part of the jewelry making world.

Top Five Gifts that Give Back

If those towels that Aunt Judy gave you last year are still sitting in your closet, and the last sweater from your mom hangs in your closet unworn, you may start to wonder what you can do with all of these well meaning gifts that you simply will not use. There is a lot of waste in the world simply because so many gifts are just plain bad. The thought behind them was often great, but that does not mean these things are useful. If you have a closet full of them, you may even call them wasteful. Instead of giving a sweater someone may not like, try to think about gifts that give back. They are great for any occasion.

The first type of gift on this list would be one that designates some profits to go to a charity or cause. This could be just about anything. You do run the risk of this gift going unused, but if you know someone well enough, you can probably pick something they are likely to use. These items can be anything from makeup, apparel, jewelry, and even some home furnishings and décor items. When you buy these items, some money goes to a charity. They are truly gifts that give back in a great way. You can choose by picking one that supports a cause dear to the person in question.

Along the same lines, gifts that give back can be items that make the world better for people in countries other than your own. You can put your money for gifts into items that are labeled as 'fair trade.' These are most commonly used things like coffee and chocolate, but there are others. Fair trade simply means that growers have been paid fair prices for their products, which is not always the practice in some areas of the worlds. This offers the small farmers the chance to get fair pricing on their good rather than being paid pennies on the dollar for things that will be marked up in price quite extensively. You can find many fair trade ideas out there for gifts that give back.

Perfectos Dragones in the Argentimes

What would Jasper Conran, the British homeware and fashion designer, make of a necklace made out of orthopaedic leather? Or a lampshade made out of sponge lycra? He is, after all, hailed as the fountainhead of industrial design savvy.
Matias Zuckermann of Perfectos Dragones started out his design career in 1999 doing a stint in London for Conran, and he says that much of what he learnt in the workshop back then is employed in his design team today.
Perfectos Dragones came together in 1999, and is composed of Matias Zuckermann, an industrial designer; his sister Mara, an accessory designer; Debora Hirsch and Leticia Churba, also accessory designers; and Gustavo Stekolschik, Matias’s wingman in industrial design. They are an Argentine multidisciplinary design group, designing and producing their own collections of furniture, fashion accessories and objects.
Their signature aesthetic mixes a certain avant-garde look with a cheeky irreverence. Mara impresses that the consistent innovative use of various materials is what inspires every collection: rubber, plastic, eco-leather and aluminum are some of the basic ingredients in their research. With a commitment to sourcing products that are socially and environmentally sustainable, the simple, fluid forms and sensual curves in everything from lamp stands to necklaces to bottle openers to handbags have identified Perfectos Dragones as one of the most innovative and influential design team in Argentina today.
