Home at last!


Well, I'm home in one piece from the Bead Show.  It was quite an exciting time.  I met some wonderful students in the workshops, some editorial staff of magazines, such as Danielle Fox and Denise Peck of Interweave and Pamela Hawkins of Bead Unique. I managed to snag a couple of wholesale orders from Fusion Beads and Bello Modo.  I had some wonderful artists around me in my booth area.  I'd like to introduce some to you.

This is Karen Ovington.  She was my next door neighbor.  Karen is a lampworker extraordinaire.  I have coveted her beads for some time and decided I had to make a couple of them my own.



These are Karen's beads that are now in my possession.  I think James Cameron just excavated them from the ocean's depths.



And, here is the darling Michelle ... a saucy Aussie!  We developed quite a friendship during the week.  We adopted her ... her maiden name was "Lewis" and she felt like family.   She knows more about good Scotch than anybody should!
