For the first time EVER, I forgot about a blog hop. I'm speechless...with dismay. I wish I had a handy reason for my lapse, but I don't.
In an effort to present SOMETHING...anything, really...I'm going to show you a few things I've made recently, using some of my favorite old (although not hoarded) beads, as well as some new beads from various sources: Jeannie Dukic, Znetshows, and possibly a BSBP partner or two from the recent past.

I made this bead-wrapped key into a not-so-long necklace, using a strand of the metallic seed beads I used to wrap the top of the key. To add a bit of pizazz, I added links made from faceted stone beads.
I call this the "Ice Princess" bracelet...I had a special request for a bracelet using "ice cube" (dichroic glass) beads. I've used these beads before and now I remember how much I liked them. Which then leads me to the question we all face: why do I have so MUCH stash, and why do I continue to purchase beads...every time I look into my meticulously organized bead boxes I find something that truly is new to me!
And honestly, here's what I've really been doing, rather than working with beads and wire...
Winter Fairy Artist Trading Card
Blue and Silver Artist Trading Card
"Sender's Choice" Artist Trading Card
It seems that I can either work with paper, or with beads, but not both. Or maybe my attention span is getting shorter as my age gets longer. Either way, I am really embarrassed that I forgot...please forgive me, Lori!
Here's the list of the real participants...please stop by and let them know how special they are!
