Last minute this and that

Am working a later shift for the next two days, so I had some xtra time this morning to whip up some 'filler' for my booth this weekend. I started making more of the memory wire bracelets and had an idea. Being I am going to have more room than expected I wanted to have a great display and not to too sparse. Normally I put a few of the issues of Bead Trends Magazine out in the display next to the piece that was in that issue.

If I am going to have a book on the table, why not have a book mark or two? I also like to have a diverse offering for my customers, not everyone is into jewelry so I have the key chains, and zipper pulls to fill in that gap.

Today was my last morning for creativity. Tonite and tomorrow I will be getting things organized and stacked ready to pull out first thing Saturday morning.

I am already edgy because I have a couple of ideas knocking around in my head and I know I can't do anything with it till Sunday. I will have to jot it down I think.

What do you do to remember your designs when you don't have time to bead?


Dyed howlite, magnesite, carnelian, glass pearl, quartz


Tigers eye, agate, vintage lucite, glass pearls



Fluorite, crystals, citrine, turquoise, vintage Czech glass.


Fire crab agate, glass pearl, fancy jasper


Fancy jasper, vintatge lucite, Czech crystal, citrine


Rutilate quartz, malachite, vintage lucite, Czech glass


Raspberry 'quartz' glass, banded agate, vintage button, glass pearl, swarovski


Sesame jasper


Crazy horse jasper

  1. I just bought a sketch notebook (Borders had Moleskine on sale) and I now carry it around and draw ideas in it. If I don't have the book I grab a post it to sketch on, or write on if it's more of an idea in words, and then I stick it in the sketch book when I get back to it (the post its are usually done in meetings when my book is back at my desk)

    Love those memory wire bracelets! I've been making a few more of those lately, they're great to do in the morning before work when I need to make something to match a lanyard at the last minute (well, half hour maybe).

  2. I'm the same...I write my thoughts down either in a notebook or a post it...but even then I sometimes loose the post it and forget what I wrote!!! :0)

    I found the memory wire bracelets to be popular this summer...I haven't made any for the fall though.

    Your new work is great...I've actually thought of making key chains but never got around to it yet! Always so much else I want to do...
    Hope you have a great show on the weekend!!!
    Cheers
