How lovely! That was so sweet of you to give one of your beautiful bracelets to your cousin! You have a huge heart Davine!

ReplyDeleteThat's so true about getting drawn to certain types of beads, the same thing that you have experienced happens to me -- I will get very interested in different styles of beads...for awhile I was buying nothing but matte faceted Czech beads -- crazy for them -- and then I started getting interested in top-drilled vintage long teardrops -- bought them wildly -- and now it's on to something else, vintage Swarovski "freshwater" glass pearls...!!!

You do beautiful work. These colors and textures are stunning.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend.
