Proof Arrived!

The proof arrived for my new book, Awesome Beading Patterns. I will make some small tweaks and corrections, and very soon it will be available!

Fossil bead closeup

Here is a closeup of the nifty fossil bead. Those are 8mm crystals and gold-filled spacers on each end.

Fossil Necklace

I made this set for my mom for Christmas. The focal beads have fossils in them.

New photo of an old bracelet

This is the first criss-cross bracelet I did. This is the one I worked out the design on. It is the same bracelet that was featured in the Bead&Button magazine.

Barrette Finished!

Wow this turned out beautifully. I was inspired to make something with purples and greens by this photo: http://www.webshots.com/g/66/383-sh/76486.html

Craft Night!

Two of my friends from work and I get together about once a month and bead together. It's a lot of fun!

Last night I worked on a new design for a barrette. Lorelei made some earrings to go with bracelets she had previously made, and Pam worked on earrings she sells.
