A New Year


It's been a great year so far. At the end of last year I took time to experiment with colors and shapes. I've been blessed with the luxury to experiment, read tutorials and just play with glass. This new year will bring a great variety of beads to offer.

Along with the experimentation I have been contemplating having a table at some bead and jewelry shows in the Austin area. If those go well I may plan more shows away from home. First I need to create a lot of beads for those shows. The first show I'm thinking about is The Whole Bead Show at the Palmer Auditorium in March.

The final thing I would like to speak about is the current project I've just started. I normally don't like to make jewelry but I've made an exception. I am working on a spiny knotted bracelet demonstrated by Stephanie Sersich in her book Designing Jewelry with Glass Beads. I've made all my components in a color palet I thought would be nice. I went to the local bead stores to get the other supplies and beads I needed. Now my plan for the day is to start the bracelet.
