ABSTEAM

"The Artisan Beaders Street Team is a collection of artisan bead and jewelry designers. Our focus is on quality handmade pieces of wearable art, and each member works hard to create high quality pieces."

The Blog Go check out all the members, I think there is currently 20 people. Every Tuesday there is a tip posted on something to do with jewellery making... Well worth checking!

I've only been a member for about 3 months and don't know most of them by name.. But I found these blogs about me this week... the first one was in the Maaaaaa of Pricilla.. Pricilla is actually a goat, but with the coaching of her publicist & owner ( I don't think she relises that she is owned) Patty, from Broken TeePee Designs she has become a very literary goat! She is also the proud mother of Kevin (Aren't baby goats cute?) Patty does make lovely jewellery. I think this piece would look very nice around my neck!

Then I found "A taste of sunshine" in Deronda Designs blog .... A bright Yellow focal bead.. that would certainly brighten up any cloudy day! Deronda is another lampwork artist....

Then moving right along.... I found a blog on April 1 in Brenda's Jewellery box from that title you probably know that she makes jewellery. This piece is called Sunset in the Vineyard!




And Last but certainly not least I found this blog post this morning with two of my favorite beads in it! Thanks to Kristy of Simply Shiny . It's the blog post for April 9, but you have to watch the U tube video clip she put up this morning! I just love these hair sticks in her shop... Maybe she'd like to trade??? But then would they stay in my hair?

I just found this wonderful blog about me!

I just found this blog about me! Patty from Broken TeePee Designs wrote this wonderful blog about me and called me a bead maker extraordinaire.... the praise could go to my head!

The necklace on the left is one of Patty's creations it's called Mermaid Jewels... I seem to be hooked on a warm tropical theme here!

Patty and I sort of traded places... she grew up on the Jersey coast and is now in the middle of Montana... I grew up in Alberta and now live on a small Island on the East Coast... I just wish it had palm trees and warm tropical breezes, not ice cold blasts coming off of the North Atlantic.... I like to dream that I can just put a tiny beach lounge on these beads, so that I can climb out of the North Atlantic into paradise!

But I digress... Back to Patty... Not only does she make jewellery she raises Goats, makes goats milk soap, makes bread and rolls and is soon to add baby chicks to the farm ... and she does all of this in a tiny trailer kitchen.... The Goats have a spokes goat called Pricilla who writes her own blog I have trouble seeing/finding my kitchen counter in a real house! If your wondering about the name their property in Montana came complete with a Broken TeePee...

Patty and I are also both members of an Etsy street team called The Artisan Beaders you can check out their informative blog... !
