I didn’t sign up officially, but I’m playing along at home. Or rather, on my blog.
I’m seeing freckafree, dosipede, Zyada, and me there under our SDMB names. Tabithina is there as LaughingLark.
I checked SDMB names for people who posted in the thread, but don’t see any of you – would you be willing to let us look at your stuff, and if so, what name are you using there?
I’m not seeing you under either name there.
I was looking last night, too, and I wonder if people don’t show up in the list of participants until they actually post something.
Tabithina, I saw your sun-catcher last night when I was scrolling through the day’s entries. Cool!
By George, I think she’s got it! Everyone on the Participants list has at least one entry.
Yeah, it turns out my planned mini projects are too time consuming for daily accomplishments. It was too late to start something else when I realized this yesterday, and I assumed that you had to put something up every day. Plus I’m really enthused by my current mini projects so I’ll just do them at my own pace.
Dosipede – where’s Eddie!!!
He’s comin’. I finally found some time to put what I have together.
Thing-a-Day seems to be broken at the moment. I hope they can fix it. Anyhow, I would love to see what everyone made today.
Here’s mine:
Pretty! Are you still working from your bowl of beads?
Not sure how anyone else will react to this as a picture – I like it, but it’s tied up with my knowledge of the neighborhood, etc. The stuff kind of beyond the fence at the bottom is the far edge of the St. Bridget’s property (thus the saint at the lower left), which, I think has become clear, is fascinating to me. Plus the street at the top is part of the “back way” to my house, passing Skiddoo Street (the street coming directly towards the viewer) – and everyone who notices that sign makes the same joke about whether there’s a #23 on Skiddoo Street. And the towers for the railroad are at the top right.
Anyway, I like it as a picture as well, but I don’t know how well it will come across to someone who’s only looking at it as a picture.
It certainly illustrates what you said about everything being on the side of a hill. Having grown up and attended college in places like that, I recognize the look. Granted, my knowledge of Philly is not vast – nor even half vast – but I didn’t know it had neighborhoods like that. (I was really astonished by the Chinatown photo, too.)
Tabithina, love those colors!
Here’s mine. The focal element is a piece of Fenton carnival glass cullet. Doing a beadwoven bezel around these pieces is a challenge, because the pieces are usually curved and the thickness varies. I bought some awesome 15/0 beads yesterday (15/0 is really small), and they were perfect for making the bezel snug.
I’ll add bead embroidery around it, and, hopefully, some Russian leaves, if I can remember how to do them. There are times when being a left-handed beader sucks. I can read the directions, but I have to turn the illustrations upside down for them to make sense – and then I can’t read the directions.
Heh. Reminds me of the feminist take on Ginger Rogers – she did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.
Just went by the site – at least they have a sign up now. Hopefully they’ll get it straightened out this morning – I’m jonesing bad for some TAD goodness.
Me, too. “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone?”
Freckafree–I love it!
About left handed beading: I had one of my early morning blonde thoughts, and I’m wondering if this would work. Could you take a digital picture of the directions, and upload them to Paint and flip it over, like a mirror image? Then you could see the process from a left-handed perspective, and read the directions off of your original copy. This assumes you are getting directions from a beading book. Print off a copy and tuck it in your book. 
Twickster–I love the old brick wall in that shot.
Most of the beads in yesterday’s pendant were not from the bead bowl, but I’m going to see if I can make this beading pattern work with what’s in the bowl. I figured out a better way of doing the pendant, and I’m going to experiment with it further.
Good idea! I’ll try it with the PhotoBooth application on my Mac, because the web cam flips things as the default. If it doesn’t work, I can always scan them. (I was just going to photocopy them and turn them upside down, but a true mirror image will be even better.)
twitch twitch
Site still down. Need to post. Ack.
twickster, I love the fact that there’s a Skiddoo street. I’d live there just so I could say the name out loud on a regular basis. 
Here’s my thing for yesterday - Crumb: A Food Blog: A World of Condiments - Vietnamese Caramel Shrimp
Actually it’s back up again – I just posted yesterday’s.
Yay! I managed to post mine over there last night. I just couldn’t preview or look at my post, or see anyone else’s. Glad they got it fixed. I was getting a little worried.
