Here I am, popping in to show you a few of my latest pieces. I’ve been in a wire working mood lately and had to raid my lampwork bead stash. I recently completed a tutorial for the casually-coiled wire links you see in the first few pictures. The glowing, bumpy beads in this one were created by Catalina Glass, an Etsy seller. The last time I bought beads on Etsy was a year ago, for custom pumpkin beads. It’s been a year then. The beautiful beads in the bottom bracelet were created by Kim Typanski. Watch for these to appear soon in the sweet bead studio shop!

I received a nice surprise this weekend. Lisa from iza-bella emailed to say she had featured me on her blog, The Mommy Designer. Lisa is a mom of two and runs a graphic design business as well as her own children’s clothing line. If you click here, you can read her kind words about sweet bead studio. Sure made my day!

This weekend we attended the Maryland Renaissance Festival. For those of you in the D.C./Baltimore/VA area, I’m sure you have heard of it. Every fall I hear a mention or two about the Festival, but yet we have never gone. So after the kid’s first t-ball game on Saturday, we took off to Maryland. Acres upon acres of woods have been transformed into a 16th century English village. Apparently this festival has been in place since 1977, and has grown into a tremendous attraction averaging 12,000 attendees per day! Musicians, comedians and magicians filled the many stages. There were pubs, artisans at work (glass blowing, metal smiths) and jousting in full armour. It was a memorable day. And an extremely hot one!
