I have a project in this lovely magazine!

It is on the stands for Winter 2012. It is a special issue from the publishers of Bead Style Magazine, a very highly respected and popular magazine which I have loved ever since its inception. The publishers and the people who are involved with Bead Style  invariably have a way
of taking photos and explaining projects very clearly. This is a huge relief for "beading newbies" and a fine way to continue educating yourself in your jewelry making. The photos are always wonderful whether demonstrating or displaying a project. You will note yourself saying, "Well that is awfully pretty and looks like fun to make! I think I will try it!"
I have made tons of  projects thanks to Bead Style.  Everyday Gemstones is a fantastic special issue I am honored and thrilled be in. My project of necklace, bracelet and earrings is titled
"Call of the Wild", and I really hope you like it! When it was returned from being photographed, Jim said, "Wow! Look at this beautiful jewelry!"  HAHAHAHAH. He didn't remember I had made it.
I put it all on. He took my picture, and now it is on Facebook as my profile picture. I am sitting on a table in our living room holding two dolls and there are three pears (candles ) in front of me. Don't try and figure out why!  You know us. :)

Finally, I wish to say that gemstones, which have existed here on our planet since forever, are always a good thing to revisit when you have exhausted yourself absorbing all  the masses of information concerning the plethora of newer forms of jewelry making. Gemstones ground you and refresh you. Empowered by them, you are once again able to understand why you love making jewelry. Go to the wellspring, allow the basic  force to be with you, and get your "creative" on , by getting a copy of  Everyday Gemstones ! Here is how to order it if it isn't on the stands at your store tomorrow!
