I have 6 new necklaces, with photos to be posted soon. I invite all to come and see some of the best fine crafts in all mediums in New England. I am finishing up an order of Prayer Book covers for three Bahá'í summer schools, and then I'll have time to post photos of my new necklaces.

NEW CUFF COLLECTION</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's my latest work. I've started a new cuff collection pictured below and two new necklaces. The cuffs are formed over a brass base for strength and flexibility. They are then lined in utrasuede, which makes them very comfortable to wear. </div>

I just finished this new necklace for this year's 2012 competition at the Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen fair in Lake Sunapee, NH. It is called 'Thirtynine Halves Make a Whole'. My colleague in the League, Jeff Lamy, makes these incredible glass beads. Sometimes, when they are cooling, they split in two. I LOVE them for my jewelry. This neclace is very soft and drapey on the body. <br />
<br />
It has Jeff's beads, Agate, Laboradorite both faceted beads and chips, Swarovsky crystals and 15/0 seed beads.<br />

I think I've finally finished my oil painting of the young women in Barli drawing water. In most parts of India, water is very important and a lot of time is spent obtaining it. This painting is the first of a series of paintings I plan to do showing the women of India in their daily lives.Vickie Hu Poirierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09225581967135969639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524760685714929685.post-71795696603378622302011-03-11T17:24:00.006-05:002012-01-04T17:40:26.962-05:00RECENT ADDITIONS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>NEW BAGS</strong></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

They will be one-of-a-kind in similar collections. For example, the Deco Beetle Bag would have the same or similar fabric, and construction, but be different in color or chosen beads. What do you think? Usually, I start with the beaded idea and then find the fabric to complement it. I also work in leather. </strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Every year they have a world famous fine craft show for nine days at Lake Sunapee Resort in New Hampshire. This year was my first time exhibiting there. I received two awards in the Craftwear Exhibit for my jewelry. One for best in beadweaving and the other for most original use of seed beading. Both awards were for Aqua Garden, which is shown below.

I use a special fused silk backing to sew on that produces a strong and flexible piece. Then I back it with Ultrasuede to produces a soft and sturdy finished piece.
