New Pearls

I know that I promised ankle bracelets last month but I've been swamped with making watches. I received a lot of requests for the anklets at the Berlin Craft Show and I promise to add more to the line this month. And to back up my promise, I've already made two new styles in gold fill, pearls and gemstones. You won't see them listed at the bottom of this newsletter, but you'll see them if you go to the website. I'll be making more in both gold fill and silver this month.

June says pearls and roses. So, look for handmade silver roses with pearls.  The petals on the roses are individually hand applied - just beautiful!!  I scrounged every wholesaler's booth at the New York bead show, picking through their beads looking for roses and only found a few pieces. So... when they're gone, they won't be replenished until the Fall -if at all. I will be using other Thai Hill Tribe silver this month. It's been very popular and I'll be focusing on using it with shell heishi.

As always, let me know what you're looking for and I'll search it out for you. Feedback from the craft shows has been great, but I look forward to hearing your comments and ideas too.

Have fun...
