This Weekend in Beads...getting things together

I finally sat down and created a bead soup for my partner, Charlie. I spent all week trying to think of something, then the lightbulb went off. Can't say much more... I am supposed to be all secretive and stuff (the packaging was easier for me somehow, than the actual soup of beads.)

I didn't make anything this weekend....been busy getting reorganized (I love organizing my beads just as much as creating with them. Yes. I am way wierd.)

I did purchase some Nicole's Bead Backing as recommended by my friends over at Beading Daily...it's like Lacy's Stiff Stuff but it comes in COLORS whoohoo! No more mess from trying to dye the Lacy's.

Oh and I stumbled upon a new bronze pendant from Green Girl Studios...I had to buy it instantly. It's an owl. I love owls! I nabbed the picture Cynthia had for the listing (hope that's ok?)

How cool is he! Can't wait till he is here. If you like Cynthia's work, check out her Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/cynthiathornton . She seems to put the hard to find limited edition pieces in there.

Now, back to organizing and more coffee!

Have a great week, folks :)

  1. Congratulation Christine on being one of the lucky ones to get picked for the BSBP this time. Love the Owl pendant it is very pretty, Cynthia does wonderful work. Have fun with the Spring themed challenge. I thought about doing it but, I really have to much on my plate and funds are limited, but I will be checking it out to see what everyone has made.
