Made up 5 Beaded Rings tonight…fun way to use orphan beads and I think they are going to sell well at the boutique. A jewel-toned band pairs with a red Swarovski crystal, silver-plated rounds go great with a black and white agate, and white seed beads set off a cute pink cat’s eye heart and tiny hematite wafer.

Also found the newest edition of BeadStyle magazine in my mailbox when I got home today. I love the cover necklace, with aqua colored briolettes, lavender and clear round crystals, and a gorgeous Hill Tribe Silver flower pendant. I love Hill Tribe Silver for its artistry, depth and detail and also the fact that the Karen tribes benefit directly from the sale of their hand-crafted pieces.

Time now to sit back and digest the magazine…have a great night!
