I know that is always my excuse for why I haven't updated my site for WEEKs! What can I say...it's true! Beads to make, shows to do and classes to take, this all takes time! But let's talk about classes... Sharon Peters (pictured here showing us her own technique of roasting a marshmallow on the torch for our afternoon Smore snack!) is now my FAVORITE instructor EVER! This was the most fun two days of torching and I think everyone there would agree. Sharon shares so much technique, humor, inspiration and even cooking tips in her class. She really knows how to dig into the depths of your imagination and pushes you (in a charming way) to make things you never, ever thought about making before. Click on the pic above (or HERE) for a full class write up and lots of photos!

The L. A. bead fair was fun and busy as always. Always good to see new as well as familiar faces. But to one specific person, one word, KHARMA!!
