THE RIVER #3

Working on #3. I really like the little girl and the dog, and of course the seagull yelling for more fish! The sky is coming along and when thats done, sigh, more sand. I'm resigned.
I took a break from the beadwork and made some jewelry for the shop. Had some fun working with the abalone, it is such a beautiful shell, nature at it's best!






Met a new beader ( Miri Agassi ) via the web who is from Israel.This is her blog. She does some really cool jewelry and writes about all things beadwork. It really is exciting to be part of the international bead world. So weird how that wouldn't have been possible awhile back...http://beadwonders100.blogspot.com/

DECORATING

 Here are some pictures of the gallery with the new decor for the opening in May. It's looking good with the new black wall. We put in some new carpet and I'm re-covering the chairs too, loved the old bright green but the new black and white paisley fabric will be cool. Crazy the cat seems to approve.
