Best in Show!!

The "Best in Show" at this year's Bead and Button Show went to Nicole Schlinger from Brooklyn, Iowa! Way to go Nicole!! For more pictures of the Bead and Button Show, go to http://sql.whimbeads.com/personal/bnb.html - thanks to the Iowa Beaders for this link. I'd love to hear from anyone that went to the show...what were the highlights for you??

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Just had to share with you some very beautiful Chevron Bracelets (that are at various stages) which were created in class tonight. Starting from the bottom of the photo are: Angela's bracelet, then Kathy's, Lee's, Becky's, and Joan's! What awesome color combinations the gals came up with and they all "mastered" the Chevron Chain technique! Great job, gals!! Click on the above photo to zoom in and see more detail...

The above is a even-count peyote stitched bracelet. I made it with size 11 Miyuki Delica beads. The closure is a beautiful button from my mother's antique button collection. I love wearing it. Click on the above photo to see more detail.

Remember how wonderful and proud it felt to get a new box of beautiful crayons? ... "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."...Pablo Picasso
Wouldn't it be nice to just take-a-day-off and "color"?
