Yes, here it is! This is our place. The Limabuddies united. The Chickies reunited!
By the way, I found Lima after the chicks were formed. I had no idea what the "chicknames" were all about. Thank you for the history lesson, puppychick & CAS!
This is an introductory post to go over a few requests & dare I say, rules?
My vision statement:
To blab & gush about gems & jewels, to support & encourage one another in our art, to freely share our expertise including tutorials if you like, and to expand our friendships & create new ones.
This is not a platform to sell our wares. I'll assume we all create jewelry or would like to do so. I don't want to buy your stuff & you don't want to buy mine. (But if you do, please visit my Etsy shop--JGBRainbowDesigns!). Yes, I'll be happy to share links to your commercial sites. Just no sales pitch here...
I will try my best to stay on top of the blog. But I do have a life that includes jewelry design & construction. Oh, and a wonderful husband! And two adult daughters who no longer live at home yet have access to my time & love whenever they desiređź’–
This is my first blog so be gentle!
Now let's go!
Ooh, cool blog! It's GemstoneChick. Can't wait to see what happens on here!

ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. Thank you so much Moogie. It did take me a few minutes to figure out how to enter and comment - not a tech wizard by any means.

ReplyDeleteThanks Moogie! I have been loving your Kumihimo designs and went and bought a disk a few weeks ago. I just made my first braid and figured out how to finish the ends (no beads). I enjoyed doing this. You do lots of these and add beads to yours. I have wondered what size beads you use for the rattail cord. I would like to try a braid with beads. The rattail I have is 1.5. My closest bead store is about an hour away and I wondered if there was a chart or if you know what size seed beads would fit the 1.5 size of rattail. Otherwise, I'll have to go for a drive... :)
ReplyDeleteI like to use 1mm satin cord with 6/0 seed beads. If you have some you can see if they'll fit your 1.5mm cord. Do you have a book on Kumi? If you need info, I'm thinking of doing a separate post on beginning kumihimo. Yea?
ReplyDeleteI tried my 6/0 seed beads and they don't fit. I found the pamphlet that came with the disk, but it only shows without beads. I don't have a book, but it might be a good item to purchase one. All the online resources I have seen with beads use 1mm satin cord or C-Lon or S-Lon. I would love to see a post on beginning kumihimo! :)
