Adding A "Twist" To Your Beadmaking Voice & A 48 Hour Quick Contest


I'm just going to admit it and get it over with... I like quirky things. I don't like violence or scary, but I like a touch of "off beat" if it has humor or makes you think.

I found this Tarot deck. At the time, I had never had my cards read, but I was amused and interested in the illustrations. They fit my criteria....they look like inspiration for beads, so I bought the deck. I like the contrast of the bright colors with Graham Cameron's
oddball group of characters. So here is one bead I made using this tarot deck.

Often I give them names and stories. Let me introduce to you Heyward the Musician who travels with Cirque de Soleil. He plays the banjo and mandolin. His pet crow is Rasmussen. Needless to say, Rasmussen is always whispering in his ear and telling him what to do.

I have one other bead in my shop that is directly inspired from this tarot deck. I know, others may fool you, but there's just officially one of them. For the next 48 hours, anyone who comments and posts the bead's name, will have their name put in a drawing for one of my beads. (if you are an "anonymous" person, please be sure to let me know how to reach you, or check back on Friday) And if it is too hard commenting in public, I'll count an email sent to me, at StudioMarcy@gmail.com

Start looking for it...http://www.StudioMarcy.etsy.com and good luck!

  1. Hi Marcy,
    I think the bead in question is Obie Wizzle, she looks quirky enough to have come from this Tarot deck ;o)

  2. What fun Marcy - Heyward & Rasmussen are just fabulous!!!
    The bead in your shop just has to be Obie Wizzle! She's fabulous & so very talented! I'd love to see the characters that feature in the portraits she's been painting - I can almost imagine them now....through the 'eye' of Wizzle ;o)
