My first Beadfest as an exhibitor has come and gone. It was most definitely worth the days spend firing and glazing in a frenzy! I had a wonderful time – seeing my pieces well received, meeting new friends, catching up with old friends. And I managed to fit in a little shopping and a bit of barter (tomorrow’s post). For now – a recap of the booth, and a few of my neighbors. I regret not taking more people pictures…I seem to have focused on the beads. 

Lampwork lovelies from my neighbor Sue Kennedy of Sue Beads. 

 

What patience! Hundreds of raku beads from Amy at Xaz Bead Company. 

One of a kind ceramic focals and buttons from Mary Hubbard at White Clover Kiln.

Green Girl Studios – pewter charms, buttons, pendants…

Lampwork from Heather of HBM Studios. 

Lampwork focals from Anne of Gardanne Beads. 

The show was great, although long hours on one’s feet. The atmosphere was very invigorating, and creative. I am thrilled to be part of this community; I am very glad I took the leap and applied. Although it seems very quiet here at home, alone – I am full of ideas and energy – so thank you friends!
