This message has been cross posted to other bead lists, but I thought you guys deserved to see it too... ;o)
****************************************************I see I've been neglecting you all this summer. It's been a busy time for me and computer time has been limited the past six weeks. But I can see Autumn just over the horizon and that means we all need to get started on our holiday projects! So, new things are in the store to help you make the most wonderful necklaces, bracelets and earrings ever.
First - Hilltribe silver from Thailand! I am now an importer!! Whoo Hoo! What an experience! I found some lovely silver pendants and charms for you. The silver content of these hand wrought pieces is approximately 96-98%. I've tumbled them all with stainless steel shot in my tumbler to give them a brighter shine that also emphasizes the antiquing done to these pieces. I think you'll be pleased with them.
I went to a trade show a few weeks back and couldn't resist buying some pearls and some 'faux' coral beads (dyed mother of pearl actually!). They're listed in the store now too. I decided I couldn't hoard them just for me!
I also have 42 varieties in three sizes of the firepolished gem faceted 'donut' beads - I call them roundels and you can find them all by searching for 'roundel' in the store's search box. I have a few more colors on the way too! AND I have a few more colors in the
6mm cathedral beads listed too.In Czech pressed beads, I added a new flower style - a slightly cupped 8x3mm shape. Only three colors for now, but they're different and pretty!
And in the semiprecious category I have a number of carved stone flowers similar to the one featured as the focal for a simple two strand bracelet in the Simply Strung column of BeadWork magazine recently.
