new photos
I just posted 4 photos of my wire crochet. I use only 2 crochet stitches but can change the design a lot. Hope you enjoy them. Vivian
wire crochet
Happymawmaw asked me if crocheting with wire hurts the hands. If I am including beads it does not hurt my hands---guess this is because the actual crochet process is slowed because there is a pause to pull beads up to stitch before stitch is finished, taking tension off fingers often. If I am making a piece with only wire the tension is more consistant and can hurt after awhile. I use 28 gauge or thinner wire so it flows easily. All beads are strung before the crochet is started. The only stitches I use are the chain stitch and single crochet stitch. The beads used, size-color-finish-number of- make the difference in the designs. Hope this has helped and encouraged some of you to try beaded wire crochet. I have added afew new links to my pieces. If I understood the technogly know how I would do a video and plst it for you. Something to look into. Have a good day. Vivian

Greetings,
I have finally been getting pro active about my marketing---at least about exposing my work to the public--or the public to my work. I have been without tv (direct tv---ugh)and have had enough sleep for 3 days so I had to entertain myself somehow. Here is the link for my indiepublic page.

sparking creatilvity??
So glad to see all the new activity in this group. I seem to be at a creative standstill since my father's death last Sept. I am hoping the spring weather will lift my spirits and get my creative juices flow. Anyone have any suggestions on sparking creativity? Vivian
Greetings
Hi to all,
I do not post very often but always enjoyed reading all the posts. Where is everyone? Did I miss a big announcement or is everyone on vacation? I have not been doing any beading lately. My first grandbaby is scheduled for birth on 2-26, c-section, so I have been busy crocheting baby items. Hope you are all well. Vivian

website and selling methods needed
Greetings, It has been forever since I last wrote. Life has been sad --lost my Dad in Sept. I can't seem to even get interested in beading again. But I have to...fact of life. I need a web site. I lack the knowledge. Anyone able to help? I will pay in jewelry. Also, where do all of you sell your lovely jewelry? I am hoping to pay some bills with the income. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
See some of my pieces at www.myspace.com/vivianadesigns. Hope you like my work. It is all wire crocheted. I live near Atlanta--anyone near there?
Stay warm and full of holiday spirit. Vivian

beading with friends
I wrote a few days ago as a reply to someone who had suggested we could get together with fellow Eons beaders in our area--I live near Atlanta GA. She had also mentioned a group sale--maybe on-line. I am in favor of both. Maybe replys go directly to the individual and not get posted in the general notes.
This group is fantastic. Beaders are certainly bonded in so many ways. We all do it for the beauty, theraphy, colors, friendship, creativity.....
I work with beaded wire crochet. I have been wanting a website for over a year now but my cousin has at least put my work on My Space. www.myspace.com/vivianadesigns
Hope you take a look. Happy creative fun to all of you.
