Etching the morning away.

I spent over an hour this morning etching beads. I have a really large pile drying on the counter.  I even had to put the spoon in the picture so you could tell how big a pile it was.  A bunch of these are for special orders but there will be plenty left to list on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/tanyamcguire

Summer Daisy's

Some new daisy's today some are headed to Omaha with me tomorrow to the Smiling Turtle Art Spot https://www.facebook.com/events/1437467813177923/

and some are headed to my Etsy Store. https://www.etsy.com/shop/tanyamcguire?ref=si_shop

Make sure to read the information on the front Page of my Etsy store because I am having a little DELAYEDSHIPPING sale.

And there are some close up photos on my Facebook page if you would like to see them. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tanya-McGuire-Beads-and-Jewelry/252035638176882?ref=hl&ref_type=bookmark

Fiesta Daisy's

While on Facebook the other day Barbara Armstrong suggested that the poppy bead picture I had posted reminded her of Fiesta Daisy's.

I of course had to make some.  I just love how they came out and love the red and yellow together.  Maybe next week I will make something besides flower beads, but I do have so much fun making them it is hard to stop.

Suessology Bracelet

 The customer that bought my first Suessology necklace really wanted a bracelet to go with it.

 I have had the idea of what I wanted to do for a while but not being home I hadn't found the time.

She is a really great customer and knew it was going to take me a while.  After sending her pictures yesterday she says she loves it.  I know I really like how it came out.  It looks like a little sculpture.

Poppies and Sunflowers

I have been working this last week on a big batch of poppies and sunflowers.  Some for Etsy and some to take to the trunk show at the Smiling Turtle Art Spot.

Trunk Show and some classes.

I have started to do a little teaching this year and have lined up three classes and a trunk show at the Smiling Turtle Art Spot on Omaha, NE next month.  I will be doing a two day trunk show from the 13th - 14th of June and will be teaching both Friday and Saturday. 

If you want to know more about the dates and times of these classes or see more about the Smiling Turtle Art Spot be sure to check out be sure to check out their June newsletter, and do make sure to come to the opening reception on the 13th.
