Create For The Cure

Create For The Cure Bracelet   

This one touches the very core of my being. This disease has taken too many people. One of my closest friends died from cancer last year and I still have not gotten over it. An Uncle of mine died about two weeks before my friend and the list goes on.

My heart is full and despite everything it is full of faith, hope and energy that one day this dreaded disease will be no more. For more on Create For The Cure go to : http://www.beadfx.com/inspirations/inspirations.php?id=442

Autumn Glory

Of all the seasons, fall is my favourite. Even though it’s sometimes cold – I’m in awe of the beauty of the colours it brings. Mother Nature in all her glory! With that in mind I created this; Autumn Glory.  Go to http://www.beadfx.com/inspirations/inspirations.php?id=441 for more on this week's inspiration.

Classes

Thank you to all the ladies who took my classes last weekend at the Canadian Bead Oasis. It was a great weekend for creativity - the people, beads, tools, findings, jewelry, fashion !!!! It was like a vacation - just that I had to go home every evening. But it's always great to see familiar faces and to indulge in the things we love.

In November my classes kick off with A Little Bit Of Everything Too at the Toronto Bead Society Fair at the CNIB http://www.torontobeadsociety.org/web/index.php/bead-fair/134-2011-fall-fair-classes (scroll down on the page). This is the ultimate opportunity to learn wire wrapping, coiling, linking and how to make wrapped loops. The best part it's all in one class and at the end of it you'll leave with a finished bracelet that can be worn immediately.

Summer Steampunk Bracelet

 This is one of the things I wanted to try ( yeah of all the million plus other things) and I finally got the opportunity to when Rosemary gave her resin class a test run at the store http://www.beadfx.com/classes/class-rosemarybeasley-resinwithrosemary.jsp. Since I'm always saving scraps of wire etc. it was the ultimate opportunity to use some of it.

The experience was breathtaking and for me it"s not gonna end here because soon I'll be playing with more!!!
