See you at the Bead & Button Show!

If you're going to the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, drop by and see me in the Beadalon booth on Thursday 5-6, Friday 1-2 and Saturday 2-3. I'll be demonstrating different techniques using my new Katiedids™ Creative Components. See what you can do!

I'd love to see the designs you make with the new components, too. Email pix and I might post them here on the blog or in my Facebook photo album.

Here's a close-up of one of my favorite color combos: aquamarine and peridot. Yummy! Gray crystal pearls are the neutral. This is the 5-hole donut Katiedid component. I strung the green crystals onto thread first and laid them in the channels. Then, I passed beading wire through the drilled holes, over the beaded ring to hold it in place.
