De-stash Mountain


Well, some of you may know by now that my car is poorly... so...

I have just added heaps of beads into my De-stash shop to help pay for it.


Thankyou to everyone that has already bought some... it`s a great help.

Lots of Love,

Clare xx

Links, Links and more links!

I have just arrived back from a few days away visiting my Grandad over on Anglesey with my sister and her new baby Isabella. We are well rested (and well fed!) and ready to get back to the torch tomorrow... I do miss it when I`m away.

There have been a few changes in the world of 'Beads by Clare Scott' over the past few months. I thought I`d give you links to all things 'Beads by Clare Scott' - your one stop reference point!
I have decided to open an outlet for 'made to order' beads on my website. Sometimes it is pretty hard going creating new designs all the time... so I decided to make past designs available. They can be seen here...

Please remember if there are ever any sets from the past you would like, just drop me a line and I`ll see what I can do. Some beads are one offs, bt some I can re-make. Obviously they won`t be exactly the same, handcrafted art never is... but I`m sure you wouln`t want that anyway...
Ok, next in line is my Artfire shop! It is very much like Etsy. Keep your eye out for discounts on the right hand side of my shop page.

I`m so excited to tell you about my latest endeavour.... Photography.
I am having so much fun with my new camera. I absolutely adore being outside, taking pictures of all things nature.
I have just joined a local Camera Club, where I entered six photographs into their Club Competition. I was astonished to find my photographs had won 10th, 6th and 3rd (out of 80 photographs) in the 'General' Category. In the A3 Size Category, my photograph won 3rd place (out of 18 photographs). In the Black and White Category, my photograph won 3rd place (out of 30 photographs).... and last but not least I won 2nd place in the 'Projected Image' Category.
Beginners luck I reckon!

You can see some of my photographs here -

Stone-Age beads....

Two blog updates in two day?! 
That`s virtually unheard of in these parts.

Well, I`ve just been so busy thinking up new beadies for you, I thought you`d want to see them! 

This set has to be a favourite of mine, I love the way dark silver plum reacts in certain temperatures... the peacock, oil slick colours are amazing. 
I have named them 'Primitive'


Someone commented on my beads today - they said 
'your work is so natural and flowing(organic)' 
I was soooo happy! I just love the outdoors, and if this can be seen in my beads, that is wonderful.

These beads are called 'Indigenous'.
They are made with the same glass as the ones above... 


Some more beautifully organic beads...

'Rivers of Babylon'


And last, but not least...

'Enchanted Forest'
Just like the pillows I made the other day, but in nugget form.


I hope you have enjoyed looking at my beadies.

Have a great weekend,

Clare

Enchanted Forest

I walked through a field the other day and noticed a disused, overgrown wooden bridge over the ditch... I walked over it into a beautiful secret wooded area.... the light falling through the trees, so calm.. just me, and lots of cobwebs.

This inspired me to make these beads I have entitled 
'Enchanted Forest'


A few more sets to show you this week...

Fleur de la perle


 Océan de bleu


Mer D'Or

Hope you like them.

Though I`d show you a few of my nature snaps from this week... 
 



I found this cute little enchanted toadstool... such a beautiful deep red!

Hope you have a lovely weekend,
Clare
