9.99 auction!

Hello!  I am sorry I have been away for so long.  Miami and the Gathering was so much fun, but I have been running full tilt since I got back.  I don’t really have pictures of the trip, as I am one of those people who always forgets to take pictures, so I don’t even try anymore.  I know, I know.  Horrible. I’ll try to do better at my upcoming shows.  I’ll be in Houston at the Houston Bead Society show in November and at the Best Bead show in Tucson in February.  Come see me! 

For now I have a 9.99 auction on ebay.  Happy Bidding!

Headed to Miami

Bright and early Tuesday morning I am headed to Miami for the annual International Society of Glass Beadmakers gathering.  Whoo Hoo!  I am so excited.  Usually there are around 600 other bead makers all gathered at the same place watching demo’s talking shop and of course showing off beads.

It’s at the Hyatt Regency in Miami, so if you are near please come to the bead bazaar on Saturday.  Admission is $5.00 and there will be 100 artists (Including me) showing their beads.  It is something you do not want to miss as a bead lover!  For more info go to www.ISGB.org.

I will be home on July 28th and will process all completed orders that day.  Have a fantastic week and I hope to see some of you in Miami.

Lovin’ the Disk beads.

Okay, so I just love the look of disk beads.  I admit, I am a wee bit challenged when it comes to making consistent sized disk beads.  My friend Rebekah sat me down at Bead Camp last month and made me make some.  I did three then got a little bored.  LOL  So I CAN do it, I just don’t have a lot of discipline when it come to making them. I’m sure some bead makers think they are easy, but I don’t.  To make them all even and round like that takes a lot of skill and patience.

So I’d like to point you to my friend Shawn Turner of SetInGlass, who is making some fabulous disk beads and has them up for grabs on ebay at some spectacular prices.  Shawn has been making beads for about ten years and is an instructor.  These babies are top quality and just gorgeous.  Check them out here.

Do you like to get suprises in the mail?

A couple of my bead (I originally typed bed here instead of bead.  Really changes the context don’t you think?) buddies are offering some fun deals and subscriptions.  I’d like to take this opportunity to point you in their direction.

First up is The Random over at JC Herrell Glass.

A blurb from her website

“Back in Michigan, a friend of mine visits a local deli every morning and orders a “Random”.  A little while later he is served a random meal from the breakfast menu.  It’s like he gets a yummy surprise every day.  And so for a while now I’ve been thinking about offering a “Random” on my website because it’ll fun for both of us (and I’ll make it a pretty sweet deal for you).  Purchase a $10 Random and receive a bead or set of beads that retails for $20-$35 or even more.  Purchase a $25 Random and receive a bead or bead set worth $40-75.”

I think this is an awesome idea!  And you can’t really go wrong, since all of JC’s beads are TDF!  So head on over and order yourself up a random.

Second up is a monthly earring subscription from Melanie Hazen.

She has a four month subscription and a twelve month subscription. Her prices make these a fantastic deal.  Let me tell you, her jewelry is just gorgeous!  I know. I had the opportunity to see it in person this month and more than one piece came home with me!  I came home with something very similar to this. YUM!

Head on over to check out both of my friends and while you are there, order yourself up a suprise.
