What about June?.....

[Kris Schaible]

So what have you guys and gals been up to..... ???
My second half show season starts again in July so I am busy at the torch....I had the opportunity to study with Sara Sally in a one on one situation at SGI... She has given me lots of inspiration and new ideas for my version of what I call Glass Gardens.... Let's see if I remember how to use photobucket and post a few quick photos....

I would also love to hear your feedback on my very 1 st tutorial... I wrote it in 10 days a few months back... And have been asked by another magazine to write another.... I am very excited and would love your thought!....

Let's see what you all have been up to.....

I've been working lots, a lot of it production (simple) so I don't post pictures of those beads. I do have Alice in Wonderland beads coming this weekend. I can't share pictures until the challenge reveal.

I participated in a Alice in Wonderland challenge ( http://www.nvalentine.blogspot.ca/ ) Here's some of the beads!

Nicker - those are great. I especially like the Cheshire Cat and the mushroom. Thanks for posting them.

Nicker - what fun! Love them! Challenges tend to get me outside of my rut! What a good idea???

P.S. My iPad changed your name to "nicked" - hummmmmm, wonder if it is trying to tell us something! At least it wasn't "burned"!!!!!!!

Nicker, those are awesome! Every single one of them. Once we're all on the other side of the Gathering frenzy, we should do some "themed" challenges/exchanges here on the forum! There's just no way I'll have time to participate until after Bellevue, but that would be a really fun way to get us all thinking outside the box. We could even donate our themed challenge beads to BoC!

Thanks guys! It totally got me thinking outside the box, I've been doing owls all day! I have a bunch of beads I am bringing to give to beads of courage some are form the Alice challenge. I need to make trade beads yikes!

Those are fantastic...
