I recently stumbled upon the amazing blog of Eva Maria Keiser Designs. She has hundreds of followers already, so some of you may already be familiar with her site. I wish I could remember how I got there so I could credit the person who led me to her.
Seeing the beaded chess pieces featured on her home page banner will make you gasp, but even more impressive are the resources you'll discover once you start digging. If you click the link on the banner underneath that says "Complimentary e-Patterns," you'll be taken to a page that has links to instructions for all kinds of beaded wonders, like the Triangle Star shown at left (Sorry for the crappy photo, but it is a screen grab from the PDF.)
Clicking on the "more tutorials" link reveals even more riches. If Eva Maria Keiser is new to you, I'll just go ahead and say "you're welcome" now, because I know you'll be thanking me.
An archive of past I Might Make That! Monday entries can be accessed at the widget in the top right corner.
Today marks my 100th post since I launched this blog on the last day of 2010. What a fun trip I've had, making great new friends in cyberspace. (And how amusing to read back and see that I had characterized my home office as chaos back then; clearly this is a recurring theme for me.)
Many folks in the beading blogosphere are spending this weekend blog-hopping in the first installment of Lori Anderson's three-stage Bead Soup Blog Party, and I encourage you to join in the fun. Hop on over to Lori's blog for links to the July 28 participants. I will be part of the third reveal, on Aug. 25.
Given the convergence of my 100th post with the Bead Soup buzzfest, I am celebrating my milestone by announcing a giveaway of an autographed copy of Lori's soon-to-be-published book.
I've just pre-ordered two copies (one for myself, of course!), and I'll arrange for Lori to ship the book directly to the winner. You'll get the free tutes too!
The rules of the contest:
1. You have until midnight EDT Friday, Aug. 10, to enter. I will draw the winner using a random number generator sometime on Saturday, Aug. 11.
2. Leaving a comment here gets you one vote.
3. Becoming a follower of my blog gets you two votes. (Current followers are of course included.)
4. Posting about this giveaway elsewhere (your blog, Facebook, etc.) also gets you a vote--but you must tell me what you've done so I can count you! You can leave this information in the comments or email me at: torquestory (at) gmail.com.
When you receive this award...
1. Post a link to the person who awarded you
2. Share 7 well-thought-out random things about yourself
3. Award the Kreativ Blogger to 10 other deserving bloggers and let them know.
KJ generously doled out her awards to bloggers with fewer than 100 followers. That's partly why I titled this post "Kreative Karma." And I'm delighted to pay it forward by sharing a few of my favorite bloggers with you to pay it forward.
Termites--the key to eating them is to bite
down quickly, so they can't bite your tongue
First, seven random thoughts about myself:
1. I am a Brave Eater. I will try just about anything. Thanks to a Peace Corps stint in the Congo, I have eaten live termites (taste kind of papery, on account of the wings), several kinds of caterpillars (liked all but the spiny kind), palm grubs (taste like the fat you'd trim off a steak), rat (too gamy--hated), monkey (not a fan), porcupine (really does taste like pork!), antelope and a lot of other creatures that were described to me, in Tshiluba, simply as "animal from the forest."
This is by the authors of the hilarious
@FakeAPStylebook on Twitter
2. I am such a grammar wonk that I collect grammar humor. A recent gem of a find: Grammarly on Facebook. (Also fun: @FakeAPStylebook on Twitter.)
3. I have never driven, and hope to never drive, a minivan.
From the Cloisters' collection
4. My favorite museum is in New York City--where I lived for nearly nine years. I love the Cloisters not because of the famous unicorn tapestries but because taking the subway way, way up to Tryon Park always felt like an escape and a secret. In December the place smells of cloves and oranges.
5. Through marriage, I am related to both Brad Wollack, the ginger-haired comedian on Chelsea Lately, and Weird Al Yankovic's longtime drummer, Bermuda Schwartz.
6. I went to cooking school when I lived in New York, and when I first came to Washington, I worked part-time as a sous-chef to a kosher caterer. (My Jewish husband had to explain to me that I was the Shabbos goy.)
7. This is not at all random or surprising about me, but it is so much a part of who I am, I have to include it here: Of all the many jobs I've had and things I've done and experiences I've lived, I define myself first and foremost as a mother. I have the most amazing daughter in the world, and her dad and I take only about 5% credit for her becoming the smart, funny, mature, adventurous, well-grounded 18-year-old she is today. (OK, I've just totallymortified one of the followers of this blog.)
Now for my Kreativ Blogger awards...
I've chosen some favorite beading blogs, trying for an idiosyncratic mix. Man, this was hard, like trying to choose a favorite child. I tried to not select blogs that everybody would already know about, like Pretty Things,Inspirational Beading or the Beading Gem's Journal. I could have chosen 20 or more. But I also wanted half my list to be made up of blogs not remotely related to jewelry. I think part of the fun of passing along this award is helping others discover great new reads on a range of subjects.
First, the beading blogs:
Some of Speedie Beadie's
handiwork
1. Speedie Beadie. Dot of Speedie Beadie is my blog partner for Lori Anderson's upcoming Bead Soup Blog Party, so I just "met" her about a month ago. Her blog is a great mix of bead book reviews, accounts of her beloved Scotties and pictoral documentation of her stunningly elaborate beadwork. She is the most prolific beader I've ever encountered, and she can do more in a week than I could do in a dedicated six months of beading. In addition to jewelry, she makes these fascinating, fantastical art dolls.
2. Hint Jewelry. Beth Hemmila is known for her silver charms that tell personal stories, but what I like about her blog is how she posts about what she has learned from her yoga practice and spiritual journey in an occasional series called The Enlightening Mat.
3. Wild Roses and Blackberries. I have mentioned this blog before; it is written in English by the Swedish jewelry artist Maneki. She's been featuring lots of photo-heavy patina experiments on her blog recently that are fascinating reading.
4. Braidweaver. I wanted to include a kumihimo resource, and one of the best is Carol Miller Franklin's site. She is a great teacher. Note: this is mostly marudai work, although she has done some projects with the disk and plate. (If you have no idea what the last sentence means, this blog is not for you! But if you've heard about kumi and want to learn more, this is a great place to start.)
5. Beverly Ash Gilbert. This may be verging on picking an obvious blog, because Beverly is a well-known jewelry artist who has published many books and teaches classes all over the United States. But I've learned so much about color and design from her that I just had to feature her here. Her posts are spare on words and rich with color palettes like the one at left, for drawing design inspiration from.
And here's my list of Definitely Not Jewelry Blogs.
6. Gay Guy/Straight Guy. This is co-written by--you got it--a gay guy and a straight guy who are friends. They share their perspectives and offer advice, especially on topics like food, fashion and advertising. Gay Guy posts in italics and Straight Guy uses Roman font. Some regular features include Gee Whiz--photos of outrageously designed men's bathrooms--and brilliant quad graphs like the one below on desserts. (They haven't posted much recently, but they've aggregated a lot of homophobic/homocentric ads on their related Tumblr blog.)
7. Clutter Busting. Brooks Palmer talks about how to de-clutter your life, but he comes at it from such a different direction it will surprise you. It's not about how to organize stuff, it's about looking within to see what's going on in your life and what might be holding you back. (And no, you don't have to be super-organized to like it; I'm living proof of that.)
8. Stormdrane's Blog. This is a matter-of-fact blog about knot-tying. You might think it belongs up with the jewelry-making blogs, but this is a very guy-centric blog where the medium is paracord. But the photos, videos and instructions are great. Lots of applications for jewelry making, although I'm sure that's not his intent!
8. On Being Both is a thought-provoking blog written by a friend of mine, Sue Katz Miller, exploring issues of interfaithness. Our families met long ago through a great Jewish-Christian group in the D.C. area, the Interfaith Families Project. There are lots of us out there, and our numbers are growing--if you've ever struggled with loved ones on how to blend disparate faith traditions, please check out this blog and this group.
"A" puppy
10. The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks. I'll wrap up with a fun grammar blog. As you may have intuited from my random things list above, the grammar sites I follow are ones that deal with the subject humorously. This site always cracks me up.
So please, explore some of these amazing reads, including KJ's blog linked at the top. Thanks for nominating me, KJ!
Here's a cool tute from Lark Crafts for making this necklace, called Liquid Enamel, which is featured in the new book Heat, Color Set & Fire: Surface Effects for Metal Jewelry by Mary Hettmansperger. (Click the link for a downloadable PDF.)
It involves liquid enamel and a blowtorch--cool! I've played with enameling at a summer family camp we used to go to that had a crafts studio, but it was the powdered kind that got baked in a kiln.
I have to confess that I don't like the particular necklace above that much, it's the technique that interests me--which is why I've included it here. I do like the two projects shown on the book's cover, though:
So do you play with fire?
BTW, my archive of I Might Make That! entries has been restored and is now up to date. You can access it by clicking the widget in the top right corner.
These three projects are a little different from some of my other I Might Make That! Monday entries because I actually have used some of the fringing techniques illustrated here before. They were just minor trim elements, however. I've never made a whole bracelet or necklace entirely from coral or loop fringe, as depicted in these projects here, and I think all three are cute designs.
First, the inspiration. The Artfire Beadweavers Guild, of which I am a member, made beaded fringe the topic of its July challenge. The Artfire post links to a tutorial on Whimbeads that shows how to incorporate several different fringe techniques in a single bracelet.
Coincidentally, a day or so after I saw the above challenge and decided to feature the bracelet in my next IMMT!M post, Fusion Beads came out with a series of fringe tutorials in its e-newsletter.
Click here for instructions to do coral fringe, which is used to make the necklace at right. ("Coral fringe" is just another name for what the Whimbeads tutorial calls "branch fringe.")
A few days later, Fusion Beads followed the coral fringe feature with one on looped fringe, which is even easier.
That technique is used to make the bracelet below. A nice feature of the Fusion Bead beading instructions is that they are also offered as PDFs for easy printing.
For those of you new to my I Might Make That! Monday feature, I noted in last week's installment that my archive of past entries had gotten messed up and I needed to rebuild the page. I was able to design my first-ever widget, which has replaced the text button in the top-right corner of the blog, for accessing the archive.
However, at this point I've only had time to restore a few months' worth of the projects. I'll try to complete the archives by next week. (But I'm very pleased with myself to have designed my own widget, simple as it is.)
The always-generous Lori of Pretty Things is having a giveaway extravaganza, so go take a gander here at the goodies that could be yours. Lots of "bits and bobs" from her Bead & Button Show haul, her soon-to-be-released Bead Soup book and much more. Five chances to win in all.
(I already own one of the items--her ebook on blogging, which is well worth its $15 price tag.)
First, the abbreviated version of why I missed posting last Monday:
1. Power failure from massive storm that makes national headlines thwarts plans to write post in advance before leaving on vacation.
2. Hotel in vacationland woefully misrepresents its WiFi accessibility. Plans to use the week to catch up on blogging and answering email are abandoned.
I am now back at home, having spent yesterday evening emptying my refrigerator of the rotten food caused by a three-day outage (others had it far worse, so I'm not complaining.) As I type this Sunday evening, another massive storm is heading our way, so for all I know, I will be without power again before the night is over. When I went to the grocery for fresh provisions this morning, I only bought enough for a day or two; the grand restocking will wait until later in the week.
But back to our original programming.
I spotted the above lovely wirework tutorial on Pinterest recently. The hyperlink will take you to the Google translation of a Russian site. As always, the translation is a little hinky, but there are terrific photos to guide you. I especially like how the artist shows its origin as a sketch, which I never think to do. I wish I could tell you the name of the artist--if someone speaks Russian and can decipher for me, please include it in the comments!
And because I missed last week, here's a bonus feature. This link has a lot of great info about using alcohol inks on jewelry. (Scroll down to the bottom for the info about how this ring was transformed.)
Although the link above is for a specific brand of alcohol ink, here's a link for how to make your own. (Pinterest has loads of other DIYs.) I'm interested in playing with alcohol inks and patinas because I think they can make ordinary gold- and silver-plated findings more interesting.
A housekeeping note: I recently discovered that the archive of I Might Make That! Monday features (the button in the top right corner of my blog) is currently not functioning. I'll have to rebuild the page. My apologies. I'll try to have that rectified before the next entry.
I've just returned from vacation, so I'm a bit late in posting about my bead haul from Dot of Speedie Beadie for Lori's 6th Bead Soup Blog Party. Her package was waiting for me when I got back in town.
Here are the goodies I found inside the polka dot-wrapping paper (Hmm, do you have a thing for dots, Dot???)
I had told her that I liked all colors but was especially fond of blues. She thought she was challenging me by sending me earthy browns and greens, but actually that is a favorite color combo. I have tons of beads in my stash that will complement this beautiful haul.
What will be a challenge--and one I'm looking forward to--is how to do justice to the lovely raku face that she sent as a focal. I'm finding it very hard to photograph, but here's a closeup:
In addition to the focal and lots of packs of seed beads, she sent me some lovely rings in two materials--I'm not sure what they're made of--a couple of cabs, a sweet little turtle bead, some cubed beads that also look to be raku, some gold-finish faceted rounds and a few coins. There are also these cool French vintage sequins she sent--they're barely visible in the top photo because I have the focal propped up against them. I don't know if I will use them in my reveal piece, but they'll be fun to use on something.
As a sweet gift, she also included this cute cat pin:
I must have talked a lot about my cats a lot in the emails we traded back and forth!
I'll have fun playing with all of these.
I'm especially appreciative that she was able to mail this package to me while going through the multiple-day power outage that I largely escaped by leaving town the day after the storm hit. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, and I live in the Maryland suburbs of D.C., to give you an idea of how ginormous that storm was.
You can read about what I sent Dot for the bead soup party at her blogpost here.
Our reveal date isn't until August, but the first reveal is July 28, so be sure to visit the blog hop link above on that day to see what the first-round participants created.
The pic at left gives you an inkling of the fantastic work she does. It is a reproduction of the "Black Widow Collar designed by Sherry Serafini. Just a little ol' something she whipped up in what appears to have been a week or so--she really is speedy!
Dot is very generously giving away TWO copies of the Sherry Serafini book in which this design appears--see her blog entry here for how to enter before her July 4 drawing.
At the same post, you'll also see lots of pics documenting the beginning of her showcase necklace.
And be sure to explore her blog to see her dolls and other whimsical creations.
A couple of months back, I did a roundup of eek-free beaded spiders for my Monday feature. It got a lot of page views--who knew it would resonate? Then a few weeks back, this book popped up on a lot of craft sites. I think I spotted it on CraftGossip and was going to blog about it, but then Mortira at Inspirational Beading and a few others beat me to it.
So instead, I'll blog about some other cool insect beadwork I've spotted on Pinterest, Etsy, Artfire and elsewhere. Some are tutes and some are here for inspiration. (So amusing to discover that Googling "beaded beetles" turned up dozens of blinged-out Volkswagon images but no decent scarab patterns!)
So let's start with the top photo. It's Christi Friesen's steampunk bug made of polymer and clock parts. Most polymer work does not interest me, but I love the look of mixing it with metal. The free tutorial is very detailed, with lots of photos.
Here's a free flat-peyote pattern for a butterfly its designer calls "Three Roses."
I like that it shows enough detail that you could do very realistic color gradations if you wanted.
Here's a cute pattern for a beaded ladybug pendant from Craftsy. It's not free, but here's the link to it.
These butterfly earrings are from Anthropolgie (no longer available). No tute, but with the right filigree component, I think I could concoct something similar.
The beauty below is not a tutorial, but I'm a fan of Ornan Volokh (a/k/a Snivli) and her blog Beads Fantasy and I have featured her work before. (You'll need Chrome or Google Translate, unless you happen to read Russian.)
A beaded leather bib necklace from lovisetto's Etsy shop. She has several variations for sale.
PhD Beads makes jewelry out of real insect wings and resin.
P.S. My apologies if this post is displaying funny. Blogger seemed to be having issues when I wrote this, and the type was not looking normal in the page previews.
Anyway, for newcomers, the archive of my IMMT!M feature can be found by clicking the link in the top right corner.
Whoo-hoo, the Bead Soup Blog Party is gearing up again, and this time I don't have to fret over whether I make it into a lottery (I wasn't one of the lucky ones for No. 5).
Lori Anderson of Pretty Things, the creator, has redesigned the event so that whoever wants to can participate, but there will be staggered reveal dates so as to not overwhelm those who want to hop around and check others' handiwork. (The event has already set a record for the number of beader-bloggers participating, and will clock in at about 400.)
I requested the late August reveal date. (Cough, ahem. I do vaguely remember writing just last week that I wasn't going to participate in any more bead swaps until I finish classes next spring--because I was late with the last reveal--but I'm making an exception for this one only.
I can't remember if I wrote about this before, but her book about the blog party will be published this fall. Definitely on my must-buy list! A button to pre-order it is on her blog. (If you choose her over Amazon, you'll get an autographed copy and three free tutorials.)
Although this is the sixth Bead Soup Blog Party, I've only participated in one other. But reading about these events was one of the motivators that led to me creating this blog. Thanks, Lori, for making these virtual events feel as festive as a real party!
The site is Russian--and presumably the designer is, too. I'm using Chrome to translate, and it appears to be credited to an artist who goes by Stalker, as you can see from the image stamp. This site looks to be a roundup of various Russian bead artists' work.
Anyway, the instructions are accompanied by very good closeup pics and schematics. I like how it's not just strung from a single organza ribbon--look closely and you'll see that there's a strand of beaded wire intertwined with the two types of ribbon. I think it looks much more finished and balanced this way.
Wouldn't this bow would also look cute on a purse or as a brooch, perhaps anchoring a scarf?
The artist calls this a "corrupt" bow--not sure if that's just translation weirdness or perhaps she means it's not a true tied bow, just shaped pieces stitched to look like one.
An earlier post from this site shows the bow in seven color palettes and a couple of different sizes.
And, as always, past editions of I Might Make That! Monday can be found by visiting the IMMT!M link in the top right-hand corner of the blog.
For the past couple of years, women at all the major awards shows have been sporting the bare-neck look with their swept-up hair and plunging gowns. What's up with that? The bling is limited to earrings the size of teacups and perhaps a big ol' chunk of sparkle weighing down the wrist. (Most pieces, of course on loan from major jewelers and valued at more than all the houses on my block.)
Sunday night's Tonys were no exception. The only actress sporting anything around her neck was Judith Light. She won as featured actress in Other Desert Cities. I've Googled and Googled, but can't find the designer of her stunning statement necklace.
Bernadette Peters photo from aceshowbiz
Bernadette Peters has the look I was referring to earlier. Unfortunately, this not-very-flattering pic is the best I could find that showed even a hint of her spectacular earrings:
(She won a humanitarian award this year.)
Cristin Milioti, the female lead in Once (which won Best Musical) wore lovely green dangly drops. They look like they might be enamel, but perhaps they are stone. At any rate, they were a nice change from the diamonds and other dazzlers.
Cristin Miliotti photo found on
Times Union.com
Audra McDonald (who won for Porgy and Bess) sported a beautiful diamond cuff on her left wrist, but I can't find a decent photo of it.
It's been a while since I've done it, but in years past I would take a trip to New York (I lived there for more than eight years in the '80s) with daughter in tow to catch a show or two. I'm now wildly out of touch with Broadway theater, although I sometimes catch the Washington-mounted shows. (I saw Stickfly when it played at the Contemporary American Theater Festival in Shepherdstown a few years back and Next to Normal when it debuted in DC, both before their Broadway runs.)
But you gotta watch the Tonys if only to see the irascible Neil Patrick Harris as host. He steals the show every year!
The reveal date was May 15, but I was only a few inches into my beaded rope by then, because I had been so entrenched in my big class final project (which consumed all my waking hours outside of work for about three or four weeks). I made a frantic push to get it done before going on vacation, but I still had a few inches to go, plus the finishing. I finally completed it Sunday night and took some pics this (Monday) evening.
Here again are the beads that Barbara sent me:
As you can see, there is an assortment of amber gold, silver and black beads, in addition to the glass focal and silver clasp. The rules of the swap were that you had to use the focal and the clasp, but were free to add beads from your own stash.
From my collection, I used some silver-lined gold twisted bugle beads from Fire Mountain Gems, which have this cool duotone effect (they look silver in some light and gold in another), as well as some champagne-colored No. 11s from Accents Beads to the mix and then created the rope using a variation of Russian spiral.
To showcase the glass focal, which Barbara said was from Unicorn Beads, I created a bail from three gold oval hoops that I wired together at the bottom only. This caused the top to splay out in a pleasing manner. I then joined the bale and focal with a beaded circle made of some lovely faceted rondelles she included. It's hard to describe the color, almost pumpkin really, but they match the burnt umber of the focal perfectly. (They're in the photo right next to the focal, atop some black beads, but really hard to see. )
The bail was made to be large enough to slip off the necklace, so that the rope can be worn by itself or with another focal. It's about 22 inches total.
Here's a closeup of the clasp, which I was especially taken with:
Some notes on the finishing: Because this type of Russian spiral (made with the bugles) doesn't have a lot of support, I lined the rope with 2mm black cording. I had some cones on hand that had top openings wide enough to slip the cord through some jump rings and then back through the holes. The ends of each cord were then sewn together and tucked down inside the beaded rope.
I'm pleased with the end result. And I am relieved that I am finally done, because this was a karmic debt hanging over my head. This is the first time I've ever blown a bead swap reveal date. I've decided not to participate in any more swap reveals until I finish school next spring. It's just unnecessary, crazy pressure to put on myself.
I am back and well-rested from a jaunt out West (hint: the Grand Canyon was involved), and perhaps the parched desert and cowboy culture inspired my pick for this week's I Might Make That! Monday.
I have Pearl of the Beading Gem's Journal to thank for alerting me to the blog Design by Night by Kolleen Kilduff. Pearl recently featured a roundup of leather jewelry tutes. Several of these were cute, but I especially liked the leaf earrings that Kolleen did that looked easy enough for a beginner. The pic above is not the one Pearl featured; I discovered it by clicking on her "tutorial" label word cloud and poking around. On this link Kolleen features leaf templates and shows a couple of variations. This link is to her original instructions.
I've had a hankering (see how that trip out West has affected my speech?) to attempt kumihimo with leather cord. I've even bought some 1 mm leather cord from Fire Mountain Gems. Has anybody out there tried it? The cord I've bought is supple enough for an 8-strand Kongu braid, I think, but the end finishing might take some tinkering. But anyway, a leather kumi necklace would look cute with those earrings. I think I may pull a few cast-off leather purses that I had pitched into the For Salvation Army bags and harvest them for leather scraps.
But wait, I'm not done with Design by Night yet. (And since I've taken the last couple of Mondays off, you all deserve more than one tute!) As I said, I went poking around Kolleen's tutorials. She has a wonderful eclectic mix--instructions for making hair accessories, shoe lacings, paper crafts, jewelry, recipes. Another one I liked was her charmed scarf. This one is so easy you don't really need instructions. She notes that the idea isn't hers, but I've never seen one.
I like wearing scarves, but when I do, I usually don't wear a necklace because I can't seem to get them to work together. (My friend Patti has somehow mastered this art.) Well, this look is the best of both.
I will conclude with one more bonus tute. This one isn't jewelry-related, but I love it for its whimsy on a gigantic scale.
I first spotted this on CraftGossip. Aren't these flowers amazing? Doesn't looking at them make you break into a grin? The DYI is from Ruche and is featured on the cool blog Design Sponge. Apparently paper flowers are trending in wedding design. Wedding, schmedding--I think a "bouquet" of these would light up a forlorn corner or unadorned wall in a living room.
Now the flower heads themselves are made pretty much the way you'd make a 4, 6, or 12-inch version. You can find similar instructions anywhere. But look at those stems. They're freestanding! Genius. Click on the tute to see the engineering involved.
(For those of you unfamiliar with I Might Make That! Monday, the link on the top right corner leads to my archives. )
I'm away on vacation (no, not really fishing, and not to Bead & Button, like everyone else in the beading stratosphere--I'm visiting relatives out West with my daughter), so there's no I Might Make That! Monday today.
I'll resume next week. Enjoy your Memorial Day and happy start of summer, everyone!
A short but sweet post this week--found these cute bezeled earrings as a project on Fusion Beads' website recently. What makes them different is that the bezel is right-angle weave, not brick or peyote stitch, which you see a lot more often. Another difference is that the centers are 8 mm chatons, not rivolis.
I'll throw in one more pattern that came my way via Craft Gossip. It's from a site called Bowdabra, which sells gizmos for making bows.
Yes, it looks like lots of other multistrand necklaces, but what makes this one different is it uses a product I've never heard of, Ribbon to Bead. This is a spool of ribbon that has wire on the ends specifically designed for stringing it through beads (with 2 mm or larger holes). And no, I don't think you need to purchase the mini-bowdabra to make the ribbon flourish. It looks like some silly infomercial product.
Has anybody ever tried Ribbon to Bead or seen it sold anywhere?
