BronzClay & more on BB&J

Hi everyone,

I've been reading Katie Hacker's blog about the taping for the next episodes of BB&J. I was really excited to read her entry today--she mentions a new product, BronzClay. What fun to have a new type of metal clay to play with!

I did some looking around to find out where I could watch B, B, & J on TV I found out that a PBS channel called Create sometimes carries it but it is not on the rotation right now, but you can email them to let them now you want them to put it on the schedule.

Dragonfly Permission

Sheila H — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:03:21 GMT

I just wanted to post a follow up on this. I just received an e-mail and the artist was Heather Lancaster. Permission has been granted as long as I sell the finished pieces and NOT kits to make them. And I was thanked for asking permission.

So this was a very positive experience! I got a quick response ( less than a week ). The only request was that I not sell kits to make them but only the finished product. This was fine with me and I had not thought to do that. I feel that this is more than reasonable!

I just wanted to put this information out there so that others know that it is possible to contact the artist and get their permission. I sent a reply thanking her for allowing me to do this. Please do not take this as indirect permission if you want to do this project. Although I would suspect that you would get the same response that I did.

I just thought I would pass on the follow up info!

How I watch the BB&J TV Show

Paka — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 16:47:39 GMT

Before I ever saw the Beads, Baubles & Jewels television show, I had fully explored the show's website. This was useful when there were downloadable PDF files that showed projects and explained how to do them. It was less useful when there was bare text and few images and certainly no video to help understand what is being discussed.

The show is broadcast at 4:30 a.m. each weekday on our local PBS. No way I would ever have arisen at such an hour to watch it. When we finally got a DVR, however, I immediately programmed the thing to record BB&J--and learned that there is also a Saturday broadcast that I would never get up early enough to watch. Now, however, I could sit down for lunch and watch BB&J while I took a break from other responsibilities.

That was fun for a while, but I began to realize that the show is quite diverse in the information that is being presented, even in one show. It can be a challenge to retain everything that's being presented, some of it fairly quickly. The DVR is also getting full, so it has stopped recording new shows. I still need to learn more about what I've seen, so I am certainly not ready to delete anything. What to do?

An easy solution would, of course, be to buy the DVDs. Can't afford that right now. And, so far, the DVD issues are focusing on the most recent seasons of the show. My PBS is showing the series in more or less random order and seems to include some of the earlier seasons. (At least, I think I remember a show from the 600 series.)

My current solution is to treat the show as a class. I sit down with a notebook and pen to take notes on what is being shown (and begin a much needed index of the show's contents). To make the task easier (I'm a long way from being in a classroom now), I coordinate with the show's web site. Of course, I would have to scan forward on the recording to find out which number the program is since the number is not announced until the very end. If I am quick enough, I can go to my PBS station's website to find out what the show number is (or was, since I am always behind in watching the shows). Once that essential (but annoying) chore is taken care of, I can go back to the computer, locate that program on the website, and print or download whatever information is available.

Show #804 (for example) has Leslie Rogalski demonstrating the "Original O-Ring." The website directs you to the for-pay How-To Online TV site to see the show, but it also provides a downloadable PDF file of Rogalski's demo. I may never use a brick stitch in my life (indeed, I pretty much intend not to), but I have still downloaded the file for the inspiration that comes regarding materials and enhancement potential. I can also print the file out if I want to have it available while watching the show.

The same show also has a beading lesson from Katy Hacker on using a crimp tool. Even though I had been using a crimp tool for some time, I still learned something new during this segment (and now live in terror of crimps gone wild, broken necklaces, and on and on). The BB&J website has the text of Hacker's demonstration (without her personal commentary or flourishes). As it happens, the links in that text are broken, but, if you go to the Beadalon website, you can find what looks like all of Hacker's Beading Lessons there, including the text and the actual video. (And Hacker has her own links to these videos on her personal website.)

The third segment of the show has Sherri Haab demonstrating how to combine different mediums (crochet, metal clay). There is no PDF nor easily accessible video for this segment, but the website does have a list of materials and step-by-step instructions that can be printed out. This segment piqued my interest in metal clay even further and seemed within my reach. You can bet I will want to watch it more than once--and be very grateful for the website's help in speeding my learning.

The final segment is the Tool Tip, again presented by Katie Hacker (who knew there were so many kinds of crimp tools?). The website, in this case, presents more notes from Hacker's presentation and photographs of the tools that she discusses (no video, no PDF). This can be printed out for reference if desired.

With this wealth of information, I can watch the program (again) and see things that I missed on the first viewing, solidify my learning of the lessons presented, and get one step closer to acting on the thought that "I can do that."

Dragonfly

This week on Beads, Baubles and Jewels TV show ( at least at my house ) it was a rerun from January where they took 20 gauge wire and formed a dragonfly body and then with 16 gauge wire strung beads inside the wings. The body was a large oval bead for the head, 2 long tube beads for the body. They attaced 2 20 gauge antanaes each with one bead in a scroll at the top.

It was very cute. I am thinking of making one. I could add a loop on the boack to hang it on the wall. You can do any shape, butterfly, flower, etc.

I thought it was cute idea and may try to make a few for my next craft show to see if they would sell. Did anyone else see if and did you like them?

Thanks!
