Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover How to Make Beautiful Beaded Jewelry in Just One Day with This Easy to Use Guide 15 Step by Step Earring, Necklace and Bracelet Designs are with detailed images Included Welcome to the amazing world of Bead Making! As some of you know from my other books, this has been a passion of mine for more than 15 years. I'm thrilled that you will allow me to show you how to create several of my earring, bracelet and necklace designs. I'm sure this will help you in your creative process and further your skills in this art form. The pieces presented in this book were inspired by different things, places, people, and events. Sometimes it's the colors of a flower that I think work beautifully together, and other times it's the feeling of something that I'm trying to capture. The type of bead art and jewelry that I make fluctuates a lot depending on what else is going on in my life. After my first child was born, I began making bird's nest jewelry to express this part of my life. When we moved to a ranch, I began making funky art pendants in the shape of owls. An extended visit to my parent's home in Florida inspired me to begin using shells and sea glass in my art. Beaded jewelry is an art form like any other; your inspiration and ideas for color combinations or for unique pieces of your own can come from anywhere. Any of these projects can be used as a stepping off point for a variety of different projects of your creation. All you have to do is start changing the colors, sizes, and materials and see where it takes you. Beads and wire, wire and beads; there are so many different ways that you can combine these two things to form countless pieces of art. Not all of the bead and wire pieces that I make are jewelry, but a lot of it is. I like the idea of not only expressing myself through my art, but then turning it into something functional; a piece that I can wear out and show to the world, or a piece that someone else can wear. Beads come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. You can make your own beads out of clay, wood, shells, pieces, stone, or plastic (some of my favorite beads are made out of little plastic flowers that I drilled holes through). You can also find beads sold anywhere, with many of them reflecting the area they are from, such as stone beads near the mountains and shells near the beach. Making beaded jewelry is easy, fun, and maybe even addicting. Even the tiniest beads add up quickly to become big, full, colorful projects. Start making your own beaded jewelry today, and open up a world of color, creativity, and personal expression that you may not have even knew existed. You will find that with each bead you thread, your passion for this craft will continue to grow. Purchase your copy today!

Download or read book Master of the Welded Bead written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a short story about a master of the universe (his own universe) who matches the greater freedoms of being a tradesman against the responsibilities and questionable rewards of a business owner or executive. Although he could be equally successful at either end of the spectrum, he chooses the path less traveled and becomes the champion of the less privileged and lesser developed souls in his world. An ex-US Marine pilot, ex-professional gambler, ex-family man, and professional master welder (among other things) Jack Diamond finds himself at opposite poles with his old Marine buddy, Don Hendrix, who owns the ship-building company where he works. Jack is never quite sure whether he's really in charge of all his circumstances or not. Only time and some dimension beyond his comprehension add substance to his experience, wisdom, intelligence and personal power-which never seem equal to the challenges placed before him. If you ever wondered how a well-educated, highly-intelligent soul would choose to move backward down the ladder of so-called success in an entertaining, challenging, and fun-filled manner, Jack Diamond will show you the way.

Download or read book The Glass Bead Game written by Hermann Hesse and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I cannot read Hermann Hesse without feeling that I am drawn into the presence of a deeply serious mind, a mind that is searching for the meaning of life." - Carl Jung A new 2023 translation of Hesse's opus magnum The Glass Bead Game. This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a philosophical glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. He also received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1946 and the 1955 Peace Prize of the German Booksellers. "The Glass Bead Game: An attempt at a biography of Magister Ludi Josef Knecht, including Knecht's writings", is the last and most extensive novel by Hermann Hesse, first published in two volumes in 1943. It is by far his longest novel. Sometimes it is translated in English as "Magister Ludi" or sometimes merely "The Glass Bead Game" (original German "Glasperlenspiel"). As Hesse's opus magnum and final philosophic treatise it offers his exploration of his philosophical musings and existential concerns. A focal point in understanding this narrative is discerning the roles of the characters Pater Jakobus and Tegularius, who, as suggested, represent transparent disguises for the renowned thinkers Jacob Burckhardt and Friedrich Nietzsche. The futuristic narrative's center, Josef Knecht, undergoes a journey of self-discovery and intellectual growth, the central theme of all of Hesse's works. The fictional narrator's assertion that Tegularius played as pivotal a role in Knecht's life as did Designori and Pater in Marienfels provides readers with insight into the two primary forces shaping Knecht's worldview. These forces represent the contrasting perspectives of Burckhardt and Nietzsche, who in Hesse's eyes were pivotal in forming his own philosophical leanings. Pater Jakobus embodies the measured, historical perspective reminiscent of Burckhardt's approach, while Tegularius, with his unrestrained brilliance and unpredictable nature, mirrors Nietzsche's radical philosophical approach. Designori's character acts as a conduit through which the historical and institutional views of Burckhardt are channeled. By presenting Designori as a "practical man of the world," Hesse emphasizes the grounded, real-world applications of Burckhardt's historical teachings. Consequently, the narrative becomes a reflection of the ongoing tussle between two fundamental philosophical standpoints: Burckhardt's grounded historical perspective and Nietzsche's radical, avant-garde approach. Both are presented not as contradictory but as complementary forces guiding Knecht's (and by extension, Hesse's) evolving worldview. By personifying the ideologies of Burckhardt and Nietzsche through the characters of Pater Jakobus and Tegularius, Hesse creates a vibrant tapestry of thought, reflection, and intellectual growth.
