Fun Class, New Baubles

On Saturday, I taught two jewelry classes in Potsdam for the SLC Arts Council.
We had lots of fun - the best part is that one of my good friends from High School came up for the class. We have talked over the phone a few times and have re-connected over Facebook but this is the first time in over 20 years that we've been in the same room. It was great to see her and play sparklies with her! There's something wonderful about spending time with someone who knew you waaaaaay back when you were young and starry eyed and more than a little stupid. It is nice to see evidence of how age and experience causes us to evolve into our true selves - and to discover that real friends still recognize and enjoy each others' true selves in spite of the intervening years and different lives.
I built a nice little bracelet in class and then came home and made a loooooong necklace to match it. I love these watery blues and coppery browns.
I also managed to get some photos of new bracelets and beads for my ArtFire Shops.
I've been enjoying working with right Angle weave to make these beautiful cuff bracelets.
The top one is in a beautiful silver grey peacock bead and the bottom one is in a Jet Iris finish bugle bead.
And I think I've finally got the finishing touch for a special order project I've been working on for months. I've got extra if you feel a need to splurge on an amazing bead!
Molly took lots of fun photos this weekend. You can see them at the Beorningstead here and here.

Those cuff bracelets are to die for!
And I can't believe it's really been that long, but I guess it has been! It was so good to see you and you are right; it is nice to see that the intervening years and experiences don't really matter in the long run. It's the kind of thing that restores my faith in people and friendship. I've missed you and that kind of friendship!
