You know that life is moving too fast when you have been around decades and not just years. This month has been one of production for the upcoming bead shows in Tucson, Santa Fe and Denver. I love living in the Southwest for a lot of reasons but mostly because I love the show circuits in the springtime. I also have to finish up my Journal and get it in the mail and start working on a few show pieces that are rambling around in my mind. The back studio is redone and so nice to work in that the only thing I am missing is a comfortable chair at my work station. 2012 is going to be a very good year!
The Categories in the Store are on the left side of this page...I currently have 8 categories under "All Products". Just click All Products, browse and shop. [A little secret - if you hit SITE MAP it lists every single item alphabetically] Every order is mailed within 3 days unless I am out of town then I'll email you.
I have put up new Focal Flowers, Flower sets, Wildlife Flowers, Flower Buds and new glass pinheads as well as finished jewelry.
I also sell on Ebay [barbarb1]as a "Buy Now" as well as in the Etsy Store [Crystalmythriver].
So go through the site and enjoy the changes and variety of both finished jewelry and beads for your own creations.
THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE SHOPPING:
The flowers come in two hole sizes – 1/16th and 3/32nd
Everything is made by hand without presses.
Everything is properly kiln annealed and I use Bullseye Glass and mix my own powders for coloring the petals.
Lewis uses boro glass which is a unqiue glass both in his sculptures and beads.
The Doodle Art Pendants are made from my drawings and sealed to a glass pendant. They have a sterling silver bail and can be used in a design or just slid on a chain.
If you just want to look at eye candy then go to my website www.barbarasvetlick.com which is linked on the left.
