So a week and a half ago I ventured out to the Intergalactic Bead Show. I was so happy when my weekend plans fell through and I had a chance to make it to the show.
Not that I really have room for any more beads in my studio, I came home with lots of prizes (so many so that I had trouble carrying my canvas bag out of the place!)
Check out this super cute frog made by Nikki Thornburg-Lanigan of the Thornburg Bead Studio. Isn't he so cute... he was just asking me to ake him home. I love the iridescence on his body. Makes me think he will look good with pearls or paua shells!

And I got some excellent looking cabs. The 3 on the left are turitella shell fossils and the one on the right is ocean jasper.

Oh, and Paua Shells... you can't forget those. I'm always looking for a deal on these.

And my real damage was in the freshwater pearl department. I have a thing for these that I just cannot resist and want to buy up every color I see.
