Welcome to the New Year!

Hello all!

Hopefully I'm back! I've had a PC crash before Thanksgiving! Got a new Mac before Christmas from my wonderful husband. And have been relearning the difference between the two since then. Still working on my website so it is Mac friendly however I still have my Etsy store, thank goodness: www.etsy.com/shop/XannasJewelryBox

I keep hoping things will settle down, I guess those are famous last words! I look forward to catching up, ~Xanna

Mom and Me Costumes


Just received the costumes for my Mom and Me class! They are dancing to "Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee" The little ones are the bees and the moms are the kids bringing home the "bumble bee"! This is a pic of what the little ones will be wearing. The girls will wear the skirt, a black leo, and the leg warmers. The boys will wear the shirt, black shorts and the leg warmers on their arms (the illusion of a long sleeve under the t-shirt). All will be wearing yellow sunglasses, for what ever reason this group dances better if they are wearing sunglasses! Moms are wearing jeans, a white t-shirt and a ball cap :)

Tutus are starting to arrive!







Remember a few weeks ago I said I would share with you the behind the scenes work that goes into putting on a recital.
Well after many weeks of collecting costume money and working with costume designers my first tutus are starting to come in!
This tutu is for one of my Ballet 1 classes. General age of girls in this class is between 5 and 7. The song they are dancing to is "True Colors" by Cindi Lauper.
The tutu is a collaborative effort between Sadie from Nellie Bug's http://www.etsy.com/shop/nelliebugs and myself. I had a certain color scheme I wanted and Sadie graciously decided to take on the challenge....and they turned out beautiful. I will post more pictures after the show!

Expanding my horizons...what do you think?







I love beads, I love color, and I love texture. My favorite beads to work with are boro lampwork beads, hand made by artists, in their home studios (not mass produced), Swarovski crystal and Czech glass, pearls, some natural gemstones, and seed beads. I've always admired people who could create pictures out of beads.



I grew up in New Mexico and Yakima Washington, and was exposed to a lot of Native American art, I especially loved looking at the beaded purses, belts, and other art work of their culture. I've also seen beautiful amulets and purses created by the artists of today that look like a miniature Monet's or other fantastic scene.



Finally I decided I'd invest in a small bead loom and see what I could do.....My work is nothing like what I have described, however, it is always fun to learn something new and expand your horizons. Now the moment of truth.... what do you think of my first two bracelets, and one on the loom?
