 6/26/08 WOW....it's been a long time since I've updated!  This is just going to be a
quickie....Some have been wondering if I will be making any more of the SOLD OUT resin beads.  If there are ANY beads on the site that you want, PLEASE e-mail me.  I can always make whatever you see on the site. (Well...almost always... : D )  I am busy doing shows, and have been unable to take pics of my new additions.  So...my goal before I head off for Puget Sound mid-July is to get group pictures together so that you can see what I have available.  So..keep checking...don't give up! I will send out a newsletter when I have updated.....Back to the studio..... : D




3/25/08 - Off to Bead Expo Portland tomorrow!  Check it out....lots of amazing classes with fabulous instructors, as well as lots of vendors selling their wares.  If you are in the area...stop by!

03/05/08 - I am now selling Burfitt Tools beading and jewelry tools!  These tools are of amazing quality! I haven't had time to take pictures of each of these tools yet...so please visit the website http://www.burfitt.com.au/ and click on beading and jewelry tools to see pictures and descriptions.  One of my favorites is the micro 3-stage wire looping plier.

7/24/07 Wirefest was amazing! Fun vendors and GREAT customers! If you are looking for more resin beads and you know what you want, please e-mail me! I am working on finding the best way to post them, other than one-by-one...because it would take me until next year to get them all photographed and uploaded! So please be patient with me...and DO NOT hestitate to e-mail !
 
7/18/07 Off to Wirefest tomorrow! When I return, I will be updating with my new resin art beads. So please check back!
 
5/17/07 Uh oh.....two updates in one day...that's a little scary! : ) Here are some inked and embellished resin beads that I have also been working on. For those of you that have purchased resin beads from Margaret and I....these have now been taken to a different level....thanks SLK!!! These also will be uploaded soon, and sold separately on my site.
 
5/17/07 SURPRISE! An update...FINALLY! So sorry to those of you who have been checking back. By now...you've probably given up. Pictured below are some pendants I have been working on. My inspiration for these is Susan Lenart-Kazmer, with whom I had the honor of taking a class with. She is an amazing teacher, and has been an inspiration to me. The pendants with color on the metal was technique learned while taking a class with Debra Weld at Beadfest. Another amazing class! I have now taken my jewelry making in the direction I had been trying to get to for a long time. Hope you like. I will be posting these separately for sale.
