Being a one-trick pony, everyone already knows how I love any seed bead that are metal and/or look like metal, feels like metal, smells like metal.....  , Be sure and check out the additions to my "Favorite Beads" page.  These new Toho Permanent Finish 3-cuts are definitely winners.  At this time, only available in size 8/0.   I hope to get some pictures posted soon of my "Rich Ruffles" project made with the red 3-cuts.  Its so far, just in my head...

I am getting some great beading time in while watching the Olympics which I am addicted to.  I watch it all, boxing, sycronized diving, weight lifting, stuff I would normally never watch outside of the Olympics. That Bob Costas is so cute, but what on earth is he doing to his hair?  Jet black??  Obviously he refuses to age as gracefully as I am ..... 

BABY YOU'RE SO SQUARE

The ivory beads used in the one above, could be my brand new favorites out of the glass seed bead section. 

8/7/08

Check out this coming class by Jean Hickok.  These raku donuts and pendants I have are very unique and combine that with Jean's many talents, and abracadabra, one eyecatching necklace. 

COPPPER FALLS

CLASS - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 - 1:30 pm

And everyone should definitely keep the weekend of October 11th entirely open.  Screw the fall foilage tours!!   Kim Stathis, another wonderful perle' enseignant (that is bead teacher in French I think - remember I only speak farm girl) will be here with two must have, must learn, must make many, projects for you.

TOTALLY CONNECTED

October 11th, 10:30 am

BULLS EYE

October 12, 11:00 am

Class price has yet to be determined.  I'm thinking on it!!!! 

OLD NEWS:

Here is a brand new project just hot off the bead tray.  I love it, it is easy, and of course the "variations" are endless.  I will be working on the written instructions in the next day or so.  I always try to send out a "free" project when customers order my metal beads, and this will probably be my next "freebie".  If you want it without ordering the metal seed beads, then you'd better hope you hit me with that request when I'm feeling extra generous!! 

GATHERED TOGETHER
