Etsy has some of the nicest artists!
Creative Art by ME added one of my necklaces to her lovely treasury this morning.
You will find my "Punch of Orange and Aqua" here: Aqua and Orange Gemstone Necklace.
Thanks so much, Melissa!

I found some wonderful things while I was out and about today:
Vintage buttons from a local antique store
What a sweet pink!
Tiny red coral beads
Agate rounds in scrumptious green!
Yep, my treasure hunting was quite successful today! :)
Have you found any treasures lately? I'd love to hear about them!
Don't forget to come back on March 3, for our Bead Soup Blog Party!!!

This week (and last week) in the studio, the work has been all about photography.
I even took my camera outside to try to figure out the macro setting. (And before you tell me what my favorite engineer friend told me...I would read the instruction book, but I can't find it!!!)
At times, I thought I was getting the hang of it;
And at other times...not so much.
The flowers were supposed to be the focus, of course...not the dead vine in the background!
But...I will perservere! I keep trying to remember to look online for an instruction book, but I haven't done that as of yet. Maybe I will get to that during the weekend.
Here are a few pieces that I feel photographed well:
(the first and last pieces are in my shop now, the second and third will be there soon.)
I also received a few new sets of beads in the mail...always love it when that happens.
You can see, it was all about the camera this week.
Hopefully next week, it will be all about something a little more interesting.
However, as I am quickly learning, online selling seems to be all about the photography every day.
Here's to hoping that "practice makes perfect"!

I think this treasury was put together for the sole purpose of giving me
Inspiration
for my BSBP!!!
(Sorry that it's off center and chopped off at the bottom...I am so not the best at copy and pasting into paint programs!)
Yep...this really gets my ideas flowing about my beads from Becki!
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by from the new BSBP Facebook page. That was a truly brilliant move on Lori's part, wasn't it???
:)
