The Insanity Explained

So some of you may or may not know that I enjoy doing something simply called "Bead Embroidery". You may ask what bead embroidery is, well it's the act of hand stitching millions of tiny beads together to some variety of backing to create a work of art like this:

Sadly I didn't time how long that piece took, it was my very first. Since then I've done a few more:

Well, I find that doing work like this is very relaxing (as crazy as that sounds, I mean come on. Who doesn't enjoy sewing bajillions of tiny beads down?) and so I've started on a new project.

See this corset?

Soon, it's going to be COVERED in beaded embroidery.

Yep. You read that right.

I'm insane :)

Of shiny, dreams and insanity.

I'm a bad Pooka aren't I? It's been almost two months since I've posted here... I swear I'm not slacking off!

Instead I'm going to make a photo post of all of the things I've been making. Ready for it? :)

Yay photo spam! What else is going on? Well (in case you didn't know) this Pooka is crazy. I'm plotting something completely shiny-filled... It's going to be epic! Sadly it won't be done in time for Dragon*Con.

Speaking of Dragon*Con- less than a MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!@!! @$#%^&%$%^%&*^ 

I'm not ready!!!!! I feel kind of like my brain is rattling around in my head as I try to but together countless keys, bottles, costumes, clothing.... Oh heavens.

And what else? Oh yes! Pandora Celtica got a new website. This new site includes new photos, songs that you can play, forums, and even bios for each of us! I'm very excited for this new addition. 

This is all of the shiny bits that I got at the show. Lots and lots of shiny bits! I’m really looking forward to incorporate all of these into pieces, like key pendants, bottles and even my belt! That’s what the bells in the bottom left are for- my new belt.

Yes, I’m making a new belt. I’ve decided that the one I have now is very summer/fall themed so I want something else that I can wear too. Now comes the gathering of even MORE keys, glitter, chains… and now? Crystal! This new belt promises to be very very shiny.

Until then I’m awaiting the arrival of a new skirt, it seems that I can’t find the time to make another one. Mab really should consider giving me a break before Titania takes the throne on the Spring Equinox…. Like that’ll happen!

Today I traveled with two of my very good friends to a gem show here in Colorado. I came home with many shiny things, things that will hopefully become a part of my wardrobe for shows! Lots of crystal, stage glitter that doesn’t rub off on anyone else!

I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the show! From one side of the large building to the other, full of crystal, semi-precious and precious gemstones. My pixie friends would have been jealous of all of the treasures…. and I spent well over 5 hours there, wandering from table to table.

On another note, in the next few weeks Pandora Celtica will not only be performing at AnomalyCon but we are also Regional Finalists for this year’s National Acapella competition!

So very excited!
