New beads and new hair.....




Hi everyone,
    Well, I admit it....been lazy this last couple of weeks....normally I am busy getting ready for Tucson...making beads, re-doing my displays buying any loose little bits I may need and trying to sleep, wash clothes and pack in between!   I am still working on my new beaded designs and I went to the Baltimore Bead Show last weekend to buy a few beads....came home with 300$ worth! Granted, that is a few for me but they were all seed beads, and a lot of them!  I got to see some friends I haven't seen in a while and that was nice to be able to catch up.  I did get some beautiful 2mm crystals and am planning on using them on my beaded polymer cabs as the accents around the face.  
    I am also involved in a secret project(I will let you know when I can) and had to have my hair done and photos taken....so I had Brandon come over and do me up and then he took my photo....hair looks good but the photo isn't the glamour shot I hoped for!  Oh, well....have to work with what you have....
    I signed up for my classes at Bead and Button and am way excited!  I am taking a glass casting class with Susan Lenart Kazmer and a enameling class with her also. Then I am taking a PMC/enamel on glass class with Vicki Hallmark and another enameling class with Gwen. A couple of seed bead classes with Leslee Frumin and a image transfer class with Sherri Haab on PMC and one with Donna Faulkner on transferring images to fabric.....I am looking forward to trying some new things!  I noticed that a lot of my friends aren't going to be there which is a shame since it seems like I never have enough time to shop with them. I am so hoping things get better soon!  So, today I will show you one of the necklaces I am planning with one of the beads I showed you last time.....I think it is going to be pretty once it is finished. I need to go to Beadazzled up in Baltimore to pick up some needles to sew it up...can you believe that I went to the bead show and forgot to get needles and thread and beeswax!   Anyway, hope you like the pictures....and before you ask, no pink since I am not going to Tucson....maybe for Bead and Button!  Have fun in the studio, Kelly

  2. Kelly, I'm taking the glass casting class with Suzanne Lenhart Kazmer and the enameling class with Gwen too plus about 5 more. I also gave up my booth at Bead and Button this year and I will not be selling in tucson either. Too many things going on in the personal life. Look forward to seeing you in Milwaukee.
