Updates

Hey folks,

Just started a fund raising opportunity to help get some product and income going so I can continue to purchase and make jewelry to help Partners in Health, please check it out.  click me click me :)

In other news, school's been crazy crazy busy and I haven't had much time to bead recently, but I'll be going on a trip to some fun islands in a few weeks on spring break, so I'm hoping to find some fun beads, and I'm putting together an order on firemountaingems.com to refresh my inventory of basic things as well.

Here are some pics of a couple things I've had time to do.

Peace folks,

Needle and Thread Projects

Tedious...Yes
Frustrating...Sometimes
Tricky...At times.

Needle and thread beading projects can be frustrating and tricky, and even yes, tedious, but they turn out so great.  Here are three that I've made myself.


This one is made of pearls and crystals, I'll try to find a picture of the purple crystal and white pearl one I made, it's great.  

This is made out of glass beads, it can be made with pearls and crystals too, this is the first class I took, and I've made it in a bunch of great color combinations.  


This is a pendant made out of crystal.  It looks great on everything from a silver chain to a ribbon or leather band.
