Hello!<\/p>\n

I’ve got a little something “new” to start my post with today.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you realize it really is a small world. \u00a0During my recent trip <\/a>to Bead & Button, I happened to be at the Kalmbach booth just as the book signing for Beading Across America<\/a> was wrapping up. \u00a0It was a neat scene, seeing many of the smiling contributors there together. \u00a0I even met one on the shuttle on the way to the airport the next day. \u00a0Now you know seed beads are completely out of my realm. \u00a0But something compelled me to look for the book online and read a little more about the authors. \u00a0As it turns out, one lives in Virginia! \u00a0And wait, she was going to be teaching a class in the next week at my local bead store! \u00a0I contacted Amy Katz<\/a>, made a few inquiries, then found myself signing up for a class…..making a RING no less! \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0It was really an exciting feeling to decide to jump right in and try something absolutely brand new to me. \u00a0And I was joined by a friend.<\/p>\n

That’s my ArtBLISS<\/a> partner and friend, Jeanette<\/a>! \u00a0Neither of us had really properly threaded a needle, \u00a0and for goodness sakes never worked with something as tiny as a charlotte <\/a>before! \u00a0I found myself in a tricky situation with two different-sized needles going but was still smiling. \u00a0I think I’m kinda getting the hang of peyote stitch. \u00a0I’m not saying everything turned out perfectly (or that it didn’t take me a few hours to complete the project), but I really had FUN. \u00a0Amy is a fantastic (and patient) teacher. \u00a0There is such<\/span> a wonderful sense of accomplishment that comes with completing <\/em>a project!<\/p>\n

Now on to my something “old”.<\/p>\n

By now you’ve probably seen a number of posts about the jam-packed 2011 issue of Easy Wire<\/a>. \u00a0 Heather Powers wrote a nice review on Art Bead Scene<\/a> recently. \u00a0I’m proud of my friends whose work are featured within the 144-page issue. \u00a0That’s\u00a0Christi Baxter Clothier’s<\/a> bright and cheerful necklace \u00a0featured on the cover. \u00a0I was happy to have a few pieces in this year’s issue as well.<\/p>\n

The deep red lampwork focal was a gift from Lori<\/a>. \u00a0The artist is unfortunately no longer making beads.<\/p>\n

Focal by LeAnn of Summers Studio<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s all for now…. \u00a0 Thanks for stopping by and seeing my “something old, something new” today!<\/p>\n
