On My Desk

November 19, 2010
I’m busy getting ready for my one and only holiday show in two weeks.  I thought I’d share with you some beads that are on my desk and being worked into designs.  These aren’t paired up in any particular order.  My jewelry lately is a mix of bright muted colors and earth tones mixed with pewter and brass.  Lots of birds, nests, leaves, messages, words, chain and keys.

    Oh my goodness. Here I am on a Friday night just prowling the blogs and I see one of my pendants. You may indeed have one of the very last of those as that glaze is being phased out. I do love all of the materials you are playing with.

    What beautiful beads and components! I'll bet the inspire loads of inspiration.

    If you have too many (and it looks like you do) you can certainly send them my way. I wouldn't want you to get overwhelmed by them all and stifle that creativity! I'm looking out for you—really!
