Hello, hello!! I'll be on my way to the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, WI in a few hours! It's such a thrill to be around other people who also share the same passion. You'll see no eye-rolling...or hear, "Omg, is she talking about beads, again?" Without a doubt, everyone at B&B is as crazy in love with beads as you are ~ and cheers to that!
While I'm there, one of my missions will be hunting for the unusual. I love looking for interesting shapes and textures. Here are a couple of cool pieces that I felt were just wonderful together.
The top beads are vintage, circa 1950. They are made of glass in a rare beehive openwork pattern. I paired them with some newly created enameled charms, also in a openwork pattern, made by Marie Demicco of Spurwink River Arts. Although the enamel work is not vintage they share a wonderful old soul that works beautifully.
So, I'm off to go hunting now ~ Wisconsin here I come! Along with shopping, I'm also taking a slightly more advanced (then my last) metalwork class. I'm pretty excited about that, too!
Thank you for stopping by!
Until next time, hopefully with new goodies to show and tell - xoxo .
