Fiesta time!

by Cindy on July 1, 2009

Fiesta is a Spanish word that refers to a party, celebration, festival or holiday.”   Moon Stumpp’s lampwork focal fits this description.  Look at all the color and detail in that beautiful bead!  Making the copper coils for this piece was addictive…I think I’ll make another bracelet, something similar soon.  Watch for this piece in my Etsy shop tomorrow.

Speaking of holidays, Happy Canada Day to all of our Canadian friends.  I asked my good friend/son’s Godmother if she planned to bake the traditional Nanaimo bars to celebrate.  These are so good and I haven’t had one in ages…I might have to make some in honor of the Canadian holiday! 🙂

As I mentioned previously, I’d love to highlight a newly discovered indie artist that is participating in my blog give away.  Actually I have seen Sharon’s work here and there through other blogs and was really impressed.  Sharon of LiveWire Jewelry creates beautiful jewelry….and she’s published in this month’s issue of “Bead Trends” magazine! I’m looking forward to seeing her work in this publication.

I’ll be busy packing tomorrow…we’re heading on a little vacation tomorrow night to the beach.  I’ll have my laptop along of course so I’ll be in touch!

Oh…don’t forget to say Jack Rabbit!…it’s the first of the month, and you’ll want good luck with that give away going on! 😉

Love it! Those swirls are fantastic. I just cannot get the hang of making them so perfectly coiled. I am waaaaayyy too impatient! Great bead to showcase.
Sharon’s work is divine! How nice of you to feature her!
Enjoy the day!
