My sweet BFF Dee Dee and I went to a beading class today. We learned a stich called Kumihimo and both made a bracelett. Wish that I had gotten a pic of hers too it was awesome. I love how mine sparkles with gold crystal beads woven in with black matt beads. I can't wait to start on another one! Oh I feel a new addiction coming on. :-) It's difficult to get a photo but here's mine.

Had a wonderful time in my studio this week making things to send to the Pea Island Gallery in the Outer Banks (Salvo) NC. I love being a part of the culture down there, if not in person, than in my art endeavors. Here's some of the things that I created.

Magic wallets purse style.

More magic wallets with a "leash".

Small vacation journals.

Larger vacation journals that I call "Jump Start Journals".

If you happen to be in the OBX this summer stop by and say hi to Kimmie the gallery owner and tell her that I sent you. :-)

I got a phone call out of the blue the other day for an order of my magic wallets. Evidently the lady had been given one as a gift and found the business card that I leave inside. She decided to by four more for her friends and gave me her color choices. Normally I do gallery bulk orders but it was a thrill to talk to a recipient of one of my pieces. Here's what I came up with, hope that she likes them. :-)
