since you like working with seed beads and such- i do have some wonderful patterns for some chokers- that i would LOVE to see someone make- and then HELP ME! cause i can't figure the pattern out- i have always just done my own designs- i generally take OLD broken jewelry and create something with all new components- I haven't posted any jewelry in awhile- but i have a bunch of very pretty stuff- i'm very particular about the beads i use- and my preference and favorites are my swarvoski and my czech beads- I HAVE TONS AND TONS of beads- i mean ridiculous amounts of beads- cases and cases- (am i getting my point across? LOL) and also alot of seed beads- you and i could do some bead trading sometime- just like a little surprise package- and we could send them in the mail sometime, if you like....want me to scan a couple of those patterns? they're you're style of work- i am a collector of ALL kinds of jewelry- my fav collection is my cameos tho- and my harley davidson stuff- We'd have so much fun hanging out- wish you were closer...
Yeah, that would be great! Like you, I have a ridiculous amount of beads. I can't seem to help myself! My husband won't go to Hobby Lobby with me anymore, cuz he knows I'll be there for hours!LOL! And yes, I would love to see some of your patterns! I also love to go to antiques stores & yard sales looking for old jewelry to reuse! I'll send you a note with my address & email!
