Fort Worth Bead Market this weekend!

Just a reminder to all of my friends that this weekend is the Fort Worth Bead Market at Amon Carter in Fort Worth. I will have a booth out there along with Donna Johnson of Dancing Light Jewelry. Donna Felkner of CG Beads will also have a booth. We will be selling our lampwork beads and some finished jewelry. I also have loads of those beautiful hand dyed silk cords. They are perfect to hang my new large hole sterling lined beads or maybe some other cool bead you find at the show. Come by and I can hang your bead on a cord a make you an adjustable length necklace. I also have lots of new focal sets sets with matching spacers and new Pandora style silver lined beads. Perfect for that Biagi, Pandora or Troll style bracelet. Your friends will be jealous when you hang these one of a kind, handmade artisan beads on your bracelet.

Please come by my booth to say hello! I hope to see some old faces this weekend.

What an exciting new year!

Last year was a hard one physically for me. All is better and can only get better. I have several new bead shows in Texas this year. Boy have I been cranking out the beads! I was elected Treasurer/ Blogger for the Grapevine Beadmakers' Society and I have a very inspiring part time job as bookkeeper for Wubbers. Any jewelry maker or wire wrapper is familiar with that name. They are really just the best jewelry and wire working tools around. They are based in Southlake Texas at Wired Up Beads. Working with both Patti Bullard and Trudy Jauquet is truly motivating. I always make sure to make their open studio day on Wednesday afternoon. Patti is the most creative person I have ever met and is so generous with her knowledge. I have been making loads of sterling cored, Pandora style beads lately. I love the look and the larger ones make really nice pendants. Yes, my beads are still very organic. I'll post some new pics soon.
