Bagging up the kits for the Bougainvillea necklace class next Friday 9am - 12pm at Bead Fest and noticed something quite unexpected... I often use vintage old stock and the Large Lt Transparent Gold Drops had a bunch that were already finished into little charm/pendants. What was really interesting is how they finished them. They used a flat headpin and then somehow angled it to form a loop. I've got to learn how to do that!!

I still have room in this kumihimo class and it's very beginner friendly. Sign up here: https://www.makerfestivals.com/beadfest-2026/instructors

Aww the life a bead designer. I'm trying to make up another colorway for my Butterfly Flutter bracelet and thought I had it all figured out with the black matte and black Azurro beads. But then again....

Which one do you think I decided to go with??
