After the "Wire Wrapping 101" workshop yesterday,  we ventured down to 176th Street in Cloverdale to do a little treasure hunting.   We looked at several of the new shops and I've found a few items at "Timeless Treasures". These will be perfect for incorporating into my jewelry display setups. Awesome gate door but decided it would be too heavy to lug around. Otherwise it would have worked to hang necklaces or add shelves. Great little shelving unit.  It'll give a little height to the table. These are awesome.  Tall and slim so won't take up much room at all. A blast from the past. Once I spray the wood and metal black it should look fantastic. It came with the mirror shelves.

It was a fun day teaching the "Wire Wrapping 101" Bracelet class. We used handmade color coordinating orphan lamp work beads. Oh so much fun and color.

Here are a few pieces that will be uploaded to Shopenvy soon. The flowers add a little extra I think. Fold Form Pea Pod with Freshwater Pearls on a Gun Metal Chain

Here are a few pictures of what we made today in the  "Gettin' Cagey" Wire Working Workshop. This was a semi private class with two great ladies. Pretty Resin Bird Pendant as the focal on this necklace. The bead colors blend so nice with the bird. I can't remember the name of these beads but there are so many great colors. Natural Howlite mixed with Red Ceramic Beads.

NEW WORKSHOPS NOW OPEN for REGISTRATION February 26, 2014 WORKSHOPS " Wire, Tools & Technique" "Caged & Coiled"

A friend and I went to Kellies Beads today for a preview the new treasures she brought back from the 2014 Tucson Bead Show.   I just finished sorting and pricing my new stash so when I'm ready to create something, I'll have all the info at my fingertips and no guess work involved.  (Why didn't I do that with all my beads :-) Kellie was saying how surprised she was at how much the cost of beads has gone up this year.  It's noticeable at the checkout but when you get a little discount on special events, it helps.  Thanks Kellie. Anyway, without further ado, take a look at my new stash.  Mostly agates and jaspers  Agate Maybe add a little hematite  Nice green in the pink focal Front Side of focal Back side of focal
