I'm in a book!

How much fun is this?!! The publishers of Bead Style magazine just published their book "Making Elegant Jewelry for Special Occasions" and I'm in it! I received my copy the other day and have it proudly displayed at the front counter. It's full of all sorts of great projects including a special pearl section where my piece is. If you are looking for some new inspiration for your jewelry designs this book would be a great addition to your collection.

I was lucky enough to have the fabulous Emilie Jefferson teach at the store last week. Emilie is an expert at creating gorgeous wire wrapped bezels and she was happy to share her expertise with my students. Each student created a unique masterpiece and they were all surprised at how easy it was to create something that looked so complex. I can hardly wait until my next batch of classes as Emilie will be back to teach her wrapped bezels and also a new class of viking knit weave! Watch the class list in January for Emilie's class plus a bunch of great new techniques!
