</div>I can't believe this year is the 25th anniversary of the film, <em>Top Gun!</em> The line from that film that sticks with me is, <em>"I feel the need...the need for speed."</em><br />
<br />
After spending day after day packing and trying to make decisions what to keep and what to pitch, my brain went into overdrive and I needed to take a break. Then the October/November issue of <em>Beadwork</em> magazine arrived, and I FELT THE NEED TO BEAD!<br />
<br />

<br />
I fell in love with the necklace on the cover. But unfortunately, I didn't have all of the necessary beads to make it; so I did some practice working on the necklace strands and came up with this:<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You'll have to click on the image to enlarge it and see the detail to see what's going on here. The strands were made with the new tila beads that are so popular at the moment. This necklace lies nice and flat on the neck.</div><br />
Now I'm eager to make the original necklace; so I guess it's back to packing until I need another break.Jeanie Callaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03310216520195634207noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536254314703148929.post-44461278783817211432011-08-31T00:09:00.000-04:002011-08-31T00:09:26.108-04:00Lillian<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This card was made on heavyweight watercolor paper. The background is watercolor, as are some of the little fishies. The card is covered with a layer of Distress Crackle Paint (Picket Fence), which gives it a really pretty underwater look! <em>(Double-click on the picture to get a larger look at the Crackle effect.)</em>Jeanie Callaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03310216520195634207noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536254314703148929.post-83477610345561150622011-08-18T21:20:00.000-04:002011-08-18T21:20:16.202-04:00Kindred Spirits Postcard Exchange - August<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg43iWx1GBVwMjnWpWDf9RLNdDmbOHK29B2SiWH84FHYqikn4rHm-ySDGV2tNMstXJ4FJjs5AuNXKifxwzsNkTFJGl_eAGzmPRR8mhXlqxvsAIDpHOx9mruyoKgY23ux8_EUW509rmXrdo/s1600/hibiscus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg43iWx1GBVwMjnWpWDf9RLNdDmbOHK29B2SiWH84FHYqikn4rHm-ySDGV2tNMstXJ4FJjs5AuNXKifxwzsNkTFJGl_eAGzmPRR8mhXlqxvsAIDpHOx9mruyoKgY23ux8_EUW509rmXrdo/s400/hibiscus.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>For Christine</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here I go, poking fun again. But I really did like Gloria. She was the very definition of a <em>movie star</em>. In the early 70's, I saw her when she visited a department store for a personal appearance. I walked 10 blocks in the rain on my lunch hour to get a glimpse of this living legend. I knew she was quite old at the time and was really curious how she would look. But clever Gloria! She wore a large black hat with a brim that scooped over her forehead. I never really did get a good look at her face, and I don't think anyone else did either. She was very adept at keeping our attention away from her face, and toward what she was saying! I, too, love her in <em>Sunset Boulevard.</em> </div>Jeanie Callaghanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03310216520195634207noreply@blogger.com6
