Sneak Peeks...

Kristie Roeder of Artisan Clay is one of the most amazing artists that I've had the chance to internet befriend. I own a lot of her pieces of jewelry, and also some of my own made with her pieces.

So, when she seemed a little frazzled a month ago about the upcoming Bead Fest show, I offered to send her a couple of pieces to help her fill in some empty space on her table.

I was planning on just sending what I had, and then in one of those moments of ingenuity, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with a couple of connectors that I bought from her a while ago.

So, here's what's on it's way to Kristie, with a couple of my older designs.

I'm really glad I decided to use the connectors like this. I'm not a stringer, and unless a design just hits me in the face, I'm gonna stick to what I know (and love). If you're planning on going to Bead Fest, these will be in Kristie's booth, and you can see them there.

Also, on the SALE rack for today, my Green Spring Ring, made to order, and...


The Shield Pendant. And while it really won't stop a bullet or an errant sword blade, it'll look pretty cool with a black V-neck top.

Thanks guys for the bag suggestions, by the way, the search continues, and I'll let you know how it ends up!!!

Oh, and the original purpose of this post was to show you a sneak peek of my new collection, but it was so humid outside that I might as well have been trying to take pictures of jewelry while in the shower.
