Happy Beads..

'Daisy Jane'

Although I've sold a number of beads over the past couple of years very few of those have I seen made into a piece of jewelry. I consider it a great treat when I do~ it's very satisfying to see that what you've created with your hands has now been integrated into another artisans work. Make sense?... sort of circle of creation that is satisfying to a poetic soul.

I haven't mentioned but I'm nearing the end of the master cleanse and its been 7 days since I've properly eaten anything so if I'm a little rambly..keep that in mind~ and that's a whole other post.

At any rate, it was a lovely treat to see that the talented jewelry designer Susan of Hot Rocks had completed a necklace the other day using some of the beads that she won in a contest I held a while ago.
As is her signature, this piece is named after a song by the popular 70's band, 'America'.
It's a beauty of a necklace and those little beads look pretty happy tucked in there wouldn't you say?

What a fabulous necklace! Susan did a stunning job of that!
Isn't it always great when we do see something of ours in a piece?

I'm with you Deb - I love to see where my 'babies' end up, & it happens all too rarely!

I'm like you - I get so excited on the rare occasions when I see where 'my' beads end up. Doesn't it make you proud when they land in such a gorgeous piece? What a great design with your beautiful beads.

I come from a long line of dedicated rock hounds. I know that because my mother  told me this one day as we walked back from getting our mail in rural Port Alberni,  BC. The 10 minute walk was sometimes much longer as we searched out special  looking pebbles or of course, the'wishing stones' which on Vancouver Island were  usually granite with a skinny stripe of quartz that encircled the entire stone. My beautiful mother who we lost in July 2023. My older sister and I. We've been lucky to bring back precious [to me] earth stones from many parts of  the world.   Lake Tiberias in Israel, Persian Gulf area, Dingle, Ireland, Isle of Sky area,  Edinburgh,  and Inverness areas in Scotland, a walk back to our hotel in  Strasbourg,  France.  The Levent Valley near Malatya, Turkey sometimes referred to as the Grand  Canyons of the Anatolia. The stone in my palm almost always brings back the day.  My regret is that I didn't label the stones in some way. Regardless, all have been
