Sparkles and Texture Galore

My time has been divided between beadweaving more sparkly goodness and tweaking my booth design for the show, which is less than TWO WEEKS AWAY!



My work modus operandi is to start a piece without a plan, then to run out of a specific bead. The piece takes up residence in the Closet of Abandonment, and I forget to order more of that-thing-I-ran-out-of. The result of this behavior: my project graveyard is full. Last week, I bit the bullet and placed a massive order with Fire Mountain Gems. The box arrived over the weekend and I knuckled down to finish some pieces.



I now have two very beautiful bracelets finished and listed for sale in my shop.





The rest of this week will be devoted to booth design. This is the first time I'll be showing my polymer clay pieces and they present some display issues. Like, what's the best way to display brooches?

Wow, Kate. These are both gorgeous and such a lot of work. How do you do it with your back??????? I have to get up and move when I do handwork of any kind. Perhaps that is why I'm not getting much done?????!!!!! Good luck at the show.
