This week end we wont be at Bead Fest, but nicely possess a fest of pleasure right here in the home. Heather has invited us to join in and is hosting on her website and the Creative Bead Chat Facebook page.Todays concept is Bust Your Stash. The point is to pull out something that's been in our stash for a while, especially something that's from a big bead show. We are able to share an image and a narrative, make something with it or have a giveaway.My artwork bead stash isnt all that outdated, but I thought Id get a giveaway and tell a narrative. But my father went to his first large bead show C Bead & Button C only this past June, and has become interested in beads and metal work more lately. The image and storyline are about his work and my father.I made a decision to help my father after I'd adopted my own, personal really efficient list in the display that allow me invest my own bead cash in document time. It was interesting, and toward the ending of our time at the show, I guided him down the artwork bead aisle (the primrose path?) It took him a couple of looks to determine to purchase them, but it was the correct selection, as evidenced by this lovely hinged bracelet he made with 1 of them.Now, on to my give-away. While walking to and from Prestas booth some brilliantly coloured goodies from Earthenwood Studio grabbed my eye.Thank you for joining the celebration!

And Now For Many Beads

I've been making quite a bit, but its not time for the shows, and its all for website hops yet. That consists of resting, drinking tons of liquids and taking it really simple.I've needed some, ever since I first noticed 1 of Mindy Macgregors handcrafted lampwork beads. They're so thorough. You cannot go wrong. I eventually have 2 from her store Moogin. I adore them both. I got a layout in head for the hot air balloon that requires a couple of new techniques. Im going to attempt not to procrastinate eternally in making it.I don't have any problem locating artwork beads I adore, but occasionally I question if I dont understand the nice factory outlet for other beads or Im simply never certain things to purchase and appear at other individuals jewelry. Another day Martha Thomas of Marthas Ruby Acorn was fine enough to share the source and posted some stunning beads on her facebook webpage. Martha makes exquisite jewelry (so check out her store) using stunning artwork and other beads, so I went to the store she emphasized. Norah of Exceptional Gemstones by Norah has wonderful gemstones, and I purchased myself a few.I got some wonderful Iolite (which this website needs urgently to call courteous) and amethyst. None of my images now are that fantastic, but they are nt shown by these superb dark shades for their authentic loveliness.Additionally, I got some apple reddish and yellowish quartz and a few pale fresh water pearls, which get me consider springtime actually will arrivesomeday. Im going to drink some more tea now. Have an outstanding day!
