Wish I could find some time this weekend for my beads - but not so sure it will happen. When I see your Etsy finds, it really starts my appetite though. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI like how you combine colors, just great. I am painting through synesthesia which makes me see colors when I hear names and numbers. These colors I transform in paintings. Colors are my life.
ReplyDeleteYou've already listed several of my regular favorites - in fact, I think I have that set from Beeboo favorited already (or, at least, it's a set that's quite similar). I love that hula dancer kitty - that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered Josephine Wadman's delicious lampwork beads and started saving for a splurge -

Clair, she does have pretty beads!
ReplyDeleteOhh, this raku-Mix is to die for!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, I hope to get some beading in this weekend. Love the beads from Beeboo, but my purse is rather empty right now.
ReplyDeleteMy most fav bead maker is JulsBeads on etsy (she keeps me broke with all the new stuff she is doing!), Molly Alexander, SueBeads.......
ReplyDeleteI have two of those adorable kitties from the UK you have on your list.
OMG, that kitty is too sweet! I love the colors you picked - my favorites!
ReplyDeleteLori, such beautiful picks! Thanks for introducing me to some new artists!

Hi Lori, Thanks for posting my raku mix beadset to your blog. Love all the listings, kitty is super cute but I think my fave is the nest! Very cool. Have a great weekend to all. Beth, Beeboo
ReplyDeleteWhat delicious delights you have found!! Thank you for sharing these with us :-)
ReplyDeleteI recently made a necklace with Josephine Wadman's beads (http://theartofcuriosity.blogspot.com/2010/07/neckwear-three-cheers-for-uk-art-bead.html) and I must tell you that Josephine is as delightful as her beads.
