Beading By The Bay Projects



Beading By The Bay is held each year at the Crown Plaza near the San Francisco Airport and this is the second year that I've attended. Marcia DeCoster who organizes the event also is a teacher of one of the three projects. This year the project was this pendant which I finished shortly after arriving home from the event. I used another technique for the "chain" and made it rather long.












I always enjoy taking a class from Sherry Serafini since bead embroidery is probably my favorite beading technique. This year at Beading By The Bay, Sherry was one of three teachers and this was the project. I finished it a few days after returning from San Francisco.

Piper is growing up!

I spent about two weeks in Hawaii with my Montana hiking friends in
February and then was only home for a few days before heading to
San Francisco for Beading By The Bay. Piper went back to board at
the breeder where she originally came from during that time so I
didn't see her for 3 weeks. Julie had groomed her before I picked
her up so now she looks like a real Schnauzer.
