Gorgeous Blue Kyanite drops, and Green Kyanite teeth and rectangles.

Pyrite Donuts, amazing Blue Coral Drops and Lava Rock Drops

Love Mookaite and couldn't resist this interesting and unusual shape.

More Blue Kyanite, not sure what this shape is called but I love it!!!!

Porcelain Jasper ovals, so soft and lovely!!

Opal rondelles, my splurge of the day.

So pretty I had to share another photo of the Opal!

My friend Lara Lutrick makes beautiful beads, we even did a little bit of trading!!

The next 3 sets of beautiful Glass Beads are from

NValentineStudio

Looks like her shop is on vacation during the show,

be sure to go check it out when she opens up again.

This is a great show, not so big you can't see everything in a few hours!

I'm going to apply to be a vender next year so hope to see you then!

Magical Mookaite!!

When I saw these amazing and unusual Mookaite Dew Drops I snatched them up as fast as I could.

I just recently started making these rings and I think they make a perfect combination.

How about a nice old fashioned head of cascading ringlets with these earrings peaking out from behind

I know that's a little girl but the color and style was so perfect for what I wanted!

Then there is this Fab Mauve Purse.

Beautiful Things

Life is good!!!!!!!! I just received my most recent order of beauties from Happy Mango Beads I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!


I got some gorgeous Large Bone Beads, I've gotten the brown ones before and made necklace I call Kenya, these are natural color and just as incredible. I've already have a design in mind (more than one actually) and this time the large bead will be dangling as a pendant and I've already played with stringing smaller bone beads, turquoise, lampwork, naga shell with an inlay of turquoise, red coral, PMC textured bead caps and some other smaller beads to fill in. I can't wait to put it all together. This is going to be neutral but a very bright neutral!

Here are a few pictures of my new stash, I thought about showing you my sketch but I think I'll leave it to the imagination for now.

Here is a group shot of the beauties!!! The Large Bone beads are gorgeous, there's some silver rings, faceted Mookait (YUM) medium Brown Bone Beads, Short Brown Bone Tube beads, Turquoise Heishi (which I use constantly).





And here are a couple of close ups! Mookaite






Turquoise and Brown Bone, so lucious together!!







And here is the finished project using the Large Bone Beads.
