Fabulous new goodies!!

Howdy!
I'm so excited. I've gotten my first batch of the most fantastic silver and shibuichi around!! What is shibuichi you ask? It's a copper and silver alloy that artist extraodinaire, Lea Anne Hartman makes sing. I've received pendants and beads and clasps and charms that are to die for!! You must go to http://www.pixieindustries.etsy.com to check them out. I'll be listing more...right now there's a large dragonfly and some skulls and a winged elf-girl and...her work is so beautiful!! Please check it out.

I also have some new venues for teaching which is very exciting. I'll be teaching in Silverlake, at Reform School, on Sunset. They have great classes through there crafty side, Home Ec. We'll be setting dates soon. We're looking at a two evening Glass Bead Making class and possibly some PMC classes. I'll keep you posted on that. Check them out here...http://www.reformschoolrules.com/blog.html.

Then there's the new place opening on 3rd St. in the mid-Wilshire area called Hands on 3rd. It's so cool. They offer alot of different classes. I'll be teaching macramé and PMC and a cool rhinestone class. I'll post the dates in the next couple of days. Their grand opening celebration is May 1st. Be there or be square...check them out at http://www.hands-on3rd.com/. I'm also going to be their artist in residence in August. Whoo hoo!

One other place that I already teach glass bead making, Lighthouse Stained Glass in Hollywood, at is adding PMC to the schedule and yours truly will be teaching it. I'll keep you posted on the dates...I am teaching bead making there June 13th.

On a kind of sad note...I've been informed that all classes at the San Gabriel Bead Co are cancelled until further notice. As soon as I know more I'll pass the info along. I hope it gets figured out soon.

So check out all the goodies I've written about...especially Lea Anne's new beads...and then go make something!!
