Bead & Button Show - Ongoing Report
and I quote: "...took Lisa Pavelka's Collage in Clay. She
reminds me of Julia Roberts in Erin Brokovich" Did you know Lisa was a stand-in for Julia Roberts, as well? Yup--I believe it was Ocean's 11. Deb "twinkiesmom" wrote in message oups.com...

I've been hanging out with JanG, chatted with Beki a bit and am still trying to hook up with Patti. My classes so far have been great and I have one more on Sunday morning. So far I've taken: Spiny Knotted Bracelet with Stephanie Sersich Woven beads in Clay with Diane Villano Metal Clay Book Pendant with Louise Duhamel Meeting lots of vendors, too. I had a great convo with Matthew Cole of Indo Expo/ Qui Clasps, spoke to Paula Best regarding the her beads and charms and saw some WONDERFUL quality stones from Bonita, plus another couple of stone vendors that caught my eye. The lampwork selection is as amazing as you'd expect - the best of the best are here. I've fondled clay beads from Grant Diffendaffer and Klew, plus a few others. Some amazing metal clay work from Kelly Russell and ceramic beads of all sorts are very big this year - many vendors! Disappointed, yet again, that there were no polymer clay vendors. Did see the Swarvoski and Rio Grande exhibits. Swarovski's exhibit featured the winners of last year's contest and they were heavily pushing folks to enter this year's contest. Met the editor of Step by Step beads - lovely woman! Sarda was there with their new jewelry line including some exceptional pendants with stones and dichro. Very top-notch. Silver prices last night were all over the place - there were even variations within the true Bali and Hill Tribe markets. I actually bought very little last night - missed a couplel must-see vendors, so I'll be heading back to the show floor before it ends and hope for the best. Pics to follow...!. -- Barbara Barb, I was there on Saturday...took Lisa Pavelka's Collage in Clay. She reminds me of Julia Roberts in Erin Brokovich. I also did not purchase many beads...too spoiled by selection at Intergem. I was thrilled with the Whole Lotta Whimsey booth...They had a wide variety of tools from other media that they applied to silver clay. I bought some really tiny punches and some metal tools. Some of the prices were really good (an entire metal alphabet set for $10). Mary |

Bead and Button Show/Ravensdale
Hi Meredith,
I don't doubt that it's a wonderful experience and worth every dollar. Sometimes, there just aren't any dollars to spare, ya know? Cheers, Carla Meredith wrote: Hi Carla, I think the one thing that isn't explained on the website or in the catalog is about the Community Work Area at Ravensdale - it makes it even more worthwhile to go. The Community Work Area is open 24 hours a day and every registrant gets table space to park their gear during the whole time they are there. This is because people come from all over the world from different time zones. There is room for about 125 in the main work area and man, it is the coolest. Everybody shares ideas, techniques, supplies, you name it... It's a huge learning experience all by itself at any time of day. Because people hate to leave their work area in the evenings to go to special events, etc. there is some entertainment right in the Community Work Area. There is a stage at one end of the audotorium so you can still work on clay stuff or whatever without interruption! (YES some folks are addicted) =) It's a great community to experience and make really great friends and new work all at the same time! Meredith |
