Take Me Out to The...Bead Fetish?

Well the title pretty much sums up my weekend. Beads and Ball Games!!! Both very happy things=)

So there two exciting events coming up in the professional jewelry career of your truly.

1. Class at the Bead Fetish on Wednesday, July 2nd from 6-8:30 pm. This class will teach you the basics about working with wire. Craft wire, sterling, or gold filled (depending on your fancy)...this is a great jumping off point from basic stringing into the more complex world of jewelry design. The skills one will learn in this class can be carried forward into earring making and more whimsical wrapping. So please call the Bead Fetish today and reserve a spot!

2. Craft Alongs with the Sacramento Craft Mafia. The SCM is going to hosting one Craft Along a month on the Second Tuesday from 6:30-8:00 pm at the Java Lounge on 16th and Broadway.

Each month a different member or affiliate of the SCM will be hosting a special topic to expand the craft knowledge of the greater Sacramento area. Please come out and join us for a little time to concentrate on craft away from the distraction of pets, kids, and television. (Instead you the welcome distractions of girl time and JAVA!!!)

This month's Craft Along will be hosted by ME (picture Tyra...if you get it this is funny!!!) on Tuesday, July 8th from 6:30-8:00 pm at the Java Lounge. We will be concentrating on wire working. I will be providing wire and some beads, but please bring your own tools if you want to get down on the wire. If wire is not your thing please don't hesitate to come out anyway. Bring WHATEVER craft floats your boat...just come out and hang with us=)

I leave you with a impressive photo of the depth of my Bead Fetish. This is my newly organized bead collection with Ned one of my teddy bears on top. Ned was handcrafted by Missy Balance owner of Mohair Circus...she is amazing!!!
