My friend, that came down and met us at the Holland school, brought my DD a present, a box of silver rings. Then she taught DD how to make byzantium sections. DD finished up her sections and today we put her bracelet together: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/byz.jpg Not bad for an 11 yr. old!!

I've been way too busy and haven't been on the computer much, but I hope to be around a little more after this month is over. I love surprises, and today I got a package with some turquoise chips for my tree pendants. It made my day!! There's a return address, but no name and no note!! How...

Hi all, I'm back from a week at Wm. Holland. (More on that later!) What have I missed? Anyone else post a challange necklace for us to see? I'm working on doing a class of beaded satin or velvet bags (about 3 x 4") with some kids, and I want to use size 8 beads. Do you think I...

I made some of these earrings for Christmas gifts, and I liked them so much, I made a couple more pairs. Guess I'll have something the next time I need a little gifty! http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/CMearrings.jpg I especially love them with the Swarovskis. And on the lighter side, Caesar has...

We are having all kinds of nasty snow/sleet/rain today, which should be freezing tonight. Because many businesses were closing around the PetsMart, our shelter cancelled adoptions today, and DD and I are home enjoying some down time. (Even though I should be cleaning. Sigh.) DD is Iris...

I spenat a week teaching up at the Wm. Holland school in Young Harris, Ga, and I feel like's it's taken me another week to get caught up on things once I got home! (Isn't it always that way!) I had a great time, and my students seemed to too. They were definitely hooked! My sister comes down...

Anyone been to a Rings and Things Trunk show? Do you have to have a tax id. to get in? It says wholesale, but a friend, up north, said you it really wasn't.. I keep debating the whole tax id. thing and haven't gotten around to getting one. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com To subscribe to my mailing...

Well, I'm finally getting something on ebay again. I started playing with the basic dot and swirl beads, and then decided to do flowers instead. I was making leaves for the flowers, but my DD like the two sets put together, so that's what I did. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZbeadbimbo Thanks...

A few non-wire people have asked me to make them some of these, so I've added them to my website, with the beads. Here's what they look like: sterling: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/st.jpg gold filled: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/gf.jpg twisted:

Or, I should say Faux Malachite! I love making these beads because they look like malachite, which is probably my favorite stone. I had a necklace similar to this one, but I used bali daisy beads in between instead of the bead caps. I used to wear it, because it was one of my favorites, but...

A friend of mine just adopted a 13 yr. old Dachshund from a resuce, so I made this little pin for her: http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/dach1asm.jpg I got the dogs from Alan Greyowl's Beaded Kennel book. Of course, I had to try the Chihuahuas, and they were a bit big for earrings, so I did them...
