Oh my goodness...I have three days until my first show of the year. I decided to do fewer shows this year but this is a big one. So Friday and Saturday I was up until 2 a.m. working on new pieces. I got some new gorgeous beads on Friday and just had to use them.

And Vlad said it was okay if I shared. :smile: These aren't up for sale yet since they're for the show. Of course, if they don't sell (ug...don't even want to think that!) then I'll put them up on my website.

So what do you think? Yes? No? Good? Bad? Ugly? I can take it! LOL

PS... good choice with using pearls as they've been a HUGE HUGE request for pulls from editors for me.
Pearls will be prominantly featured in the Fall magazines.

Really??? Oh my goodness I am drowning in pearls. I bought a TON when I went to Tucson and hadn't really gotten inspired until this weekend. The two triple strands I posted are super heavy and I totally love them. I'm tempted to keep one ... or both! LOL

Thank you for the compliment too...means a lot from you. :shame:

Oh...and you can just send those editors my way! :roflmfao:

Thanks everyone! What a great way to start my day...glowing in your praise. =D

Kitskats...that labradorite was for my mom. LOL She'd been bugging me for months to get it made and I finally did! She is in love with labradorite.

sparkles48...orange? Is that how they're showing up for you? They're actually pink. LOL They're pink topaz. I got them Friday at a bead show and fell in love with them. ;) Oh, unless you're looking at the pearls...I suppose those could be a little orange-y ... I see them as coppery gold if I can make up a color. LOL

bagluv...my show starts Friday. ACK!!! I always get a little freaked out as these shows get closer and closer. It's a three day show, ten hours a day. They are exhausting but fun and this year the weather is actually supposed to cooperate. :smile:

I'm lucky that I'm able to take Thursday off from my "real" job and get a little more organized.

Thanks everyone!!! =D

You diva!:lol:
I've never really done a tradeshow only "Meet the Artist" type events. I was really close to doing a Shecky's but was scared of commiting to that much money. I hope you have a nice time and sell lots and lots of stuff!

They are a TON of work and quite a bit of risk too. This isn't a trade show though ... it's an arts show and it was a lot of fun last year. I'm just hoping I sell enough to make up for all the beads I bought on Friday!

I did apply to the wholesale crafts show but haven't heard back from the jury yet. Jurying is the WORST. I hate rejection! :shame:
