Blue, Silver and Pewter Bracelet

I attended the annual Bead Society of Kansas City retreat a few weeks ago at The Barn Bed & Breakfast in Valley Falls, Kansas. Lana May was our instructer. This is one of the designs, I modified by adding crystals.

Rain Forest Jasper

I wanted to share my new Rain Forest Jasper beaded cuff bracelet.  This was designed for the February contest at The Bead Society of Greater Kansas City.  All submitted pieces will be on display at the Gem & Mineral Show, Kansas City, MO in March and Bead Blast, Overland Park, KS in May. 

New ArtFire Studio

I have opened a "studio" on Artfire to start selling my jewelry. I am often asked if I have a "website", well now I do! Please feel free to stop in and visit me there:

I am in the process of adding more items, so check back often!

Wonderful weekend bead retreat

I am just back from a wonderful weekend retreat at The Barn Bed & Breakfast at Valley Falls, Kansas. The retreat was organized by The Bead Society of Greater Kansas City, with a fantastic national level instructor, Jean Campbell. Jean taught three of her designs chosen by our group, with two color way options in each pattern. We all loved the eye candy! I think many of us purchased other kits too. Now I have four more unfinished projects to occupy my time. Check out Jean's blog: http://jeancampbellink.com/blog.html

I worked on this off and on for several years. I left the piece in Paola at the D'Marie Gallery last weekend.
