Whole Bead Show Booty

Amazing Lampies by Andrea Guarino Slemmons

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

Pictures don't do these beauties justice!

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!

I hope you enjoyed looking at the beautiful beads I got,

I have so many of some of them I think I might give some away!

Organizing

http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/4206096

During this Christmas break I've been doing a little organizing.

I moved things around a bit in my studio so hopefully I'll be a little more efficient. We shall see!

 While organizing I've been picking and choosing and putting together earrings mostly and one bracelet.

Above are some beautiful lime green glass tubes and micro faceted agate in shades of green and purple.

This has always been a favorite color combination so I pulled the purple out by creating violet enamel headpins and used some really pretty matte Czech Glass beads at the top.

These Ryolite ovals have always been a favorite and when I recently received these lovely brown faceted Chalcedony briolettes I knew they were a great match to pull the little bit of rust color out of the Ryolite.

Paisley Copper Rings and Puple Crazy Lace Agate.

Every once in awhile the copper goes purple which is one of my favorite colors.

Perfect for Purple Crazy Lace Agate.

Above are my Ammonite Rectangles with gorgeous blue green Opal briolettes.

How about the earrings above with incredible Lampwork Beads by Outwest paired with some Chrysoprase I have that are virtually all brown. I love this combination.

The Purple beauties above sold when I shared them on Facebook.

Sparkly Glass beads with more beautiful Lampwork from Outwest,

topped with Copper beadcaps.

I'm fairly sure I'll be keeping these Lampwork and Turquoise beauties for myself.

I rarely keep anything I make but I love these and may make an exception.

You may recognize more Lampwork by Outwest, this time with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise in Marquise shape and Acorn bead caps by Vintaj.

And last but not least this lovely bracelet.

 I've seen this style numerous times by other artists and I always loved it.

I put my own twist in by roughly wrapping the copper around the heavy copper base inside,

 rather than making smooth lovely wraps.

 I liked it very much and it was bought once again when I posted it on Facebook.

Large Lampwork beads by TwoSisters, smaller purple spacers by Radiant Mind.
