I’m home from Bead Fest and somewhat rested. It was my first time going and I had a great time. I learned TONS and got to meet up and chat with some of my creative tribe. It was just what I needed to get me back in my studio creating jewelry!

Above is a haul video I created showing you the things I got in classes and the other ones I purchased. Just in case you have one of those inquiring minds. (Does anyone know what I’m referring to there?)

Here are the beads from Humblebeads that I shared. I just love them and can’t wait to make some jewelry.

This druzy is something awesome. It’s hard to share just how pretty it is on camera but it’s gorgeous and it’s HUGE. I’m not sure if it will be a ring or a pendant at this point but it has to be worn.

And here are all of the little Buddhist charms I picked up. The frog in the lower right corner isn’t a bead and I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it but I liked him too much to leave him behind.

Tomorrow I will share a post with photos of some of the things I saw but didn’t come home with. So much PRETTY! So much inspiration.
