Pixel Beading

I just posted an article on pixel beading using cube beads. I didn't really have room in the article for all the patterns that I made, so here is the full set if you'd like it.
Based off of these mood icons.

And as a bonus, this simple pattern for a Book of Spoilers necklace or pin. I'm beading this up for my daughter.

Day Night boxes and cupcake flags

The upcoming contest at Spoonflower is bunting designs. There are going to be simply a ton of sweet designs in that contest. My entry was more swirls because I've really been enjoying swirls lately as a background to a day/night sky design. I liked the finished results enough that I put them on to cupcake flags (changing the orientation of the moon) and on boxes (not cupcake boxes, just 2x2 boxes). To make the flags,print them on paper, cut out , apply a thin even coat of glue and glue them over a toothpick. The cupcakes in my photo are store bought, but I did get a cupcake maker for Christmas which I'm looking forward to using!
ETA: The bunting contest is voting now! Check out the cuteness!

Peace symbols

My darling husband totally surprised me with a Yudu machine for Christmas. Honestly, I was expecting a bottle of perfume or possibly a new Nano. But there it was, huge and wonderful.
So while I'm waiting to go to the craft store and get more emulsion sheets and screens for it, I've been working on ideas for the single emulsion sheet and screen that came with it, deciding what to print for that first screen is hard!
One thing I've been wanting is to make more peace symbol shirts. My kids love them, but like me, don't like mass produced shirts. So, this is some of the art I've been working on. It's in GIF format and 2 colors because it's for silk screening eventually. You can use it as you wish. Except you know.. mass producing shirts for very low wages in countries that don't protect human rights. Since it is a 2 color gif, it would be easy to remove the white background and use them for digital stamping. Or print it to color if you wish. My son loves the faux bois effects best so that's in the near future.

I also posted some digital delivery 1 inch circles with peace symbols on them in my Etsy shop. 

Here's an example at full size. 300 dpi, on your monitor it will show a bit bigger than it's meant to print!
