Going To Tuscon

No, not me.  But five of the pieces I made as part of the ZNet Shows design team were selected to be featured in their booth in the Tuscon shows this month.

I'm thrilled!  While I'd love to go to the Tuscon shows and enjoy a little bit of the sunny Southwest, to send these little pieces of myself is pretty cool.

If you're in Tuscon, go by the ZNet Shows booth and wave to my babies!

ZNetShows Design Team

Holy cow, y'all -- I got invited by Bill at ZnetShows to design some pieces using their sea glass beads.  If I  cross my fingers and make something spectacular (not at the same time - it's hard to make jewelry with your fingers crossed....), one or more of my creations may be used in ZnetShows' booth display in Tuscon next month.

Yeah, I can't believe it either!  As the former scrawny pipsqueak who was always picked last for any team in gym class, getting invited to be part of a team is a rush!

Anyway, I was thrilled to receive these beautiful beads:

Look at that variety!

What lovely soft shades of green - from mint to sea to peridot.  Aren't they delicious??\

As soon as I opened the shipping box, I was inspired to sit and create. And create. And create.

I can't wait to share the final pieces with you here as soon as they've gone to Bill to (hopefully) accompany him to Tuscon.
