Customer request.

 Recently a very good customer requested I make a bracelet and earrings to go with

this necklace.  So that is what I was doing with my afternoon yesterday.  I sent her pictures and she was really happy with the result.

Bracelet Helpers

I have a new batch of bracelet helpers ready for the spring shows.  Maybe if I put one of these in my jewelry box I would wear bracelets more often. 

Choosy Chicks Choose Chicklets Blog Hop

I had so much fun with this project. To have one special bead to work with and go from there.  I knew almost from the start what I wanted to make with it.  A simple boho style bracelet.

 I added some of my lampwork accent beads and strung it on several cords of waxed linen.  I can hardly wait to see what everyone else did with their beads.  Below you will see a list of the artists participating and links to their blogs.  Have fun hopping I am sure I will.

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.

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.
