BACK AND OUTSIDE

I've returned from Santa Fe and the show was a great success! So, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Now that it's over I realize just how stressed I was. The good new is it's still summer and I'm going to spend as much time as I can outside enjoying it.

Thanks Robbie! I wish I enjoyed the selling end of the business as much as I enjoy beading.

THE BLUE BEAD

Can an old trade bead find new life in print? Could the saga of an 18th century blue Bohemiam bead be a book that will hold interest for children and artist alike? This book "The Blue Bead" is a fictional account of a young beadworkers experience with the gift of an old trade bead and how it finds its way into her life in present day Alaska. It is based in part on historical fact. Where a bead has been and who its previous owner was often remains a mystery. The 25 illustrations were laboriously beaded, each taking over 200 hours to complete, some much more than that. "The Blue Bead" has taken 10 years to finish and is an exquisite labor of love by author/illustrator Kate Boyan.
