... stringing options

... are sending me round the twist! I am always on a quest to find new and stylish ways to display my beads. Packaging and presentation is pretty high on the "visual checklist" of what's important to me. I have changed the way I package my beads several times now - and now, on the eve of my next show, I'm doing it again!

I travelled to the US last year and was lucky enough to take part in a bead shop tour - that stopped at Bead Breakout in Rochester.
I stumbled across some Indian Hemp cord distributed by BeadSmith. It is beautifully arranged according to colour and small enough quantities not to make you bored! I have a new rotating stand that I will be using and I've been using this colourful cord to string my beads. Of course, how that are displayed really has a lot to do with how you end up packaging them.

So, its now 8.30am on Sunday morning. I've been up for ages thinking about all the things I need to get done today before the temps reach 32 degrees +

• up early - check!
  
• feed whining cat - check!
  
• update blog while kiln is warming up - check!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend peeps! I will draw the loVe earring studs at the end of the day and post tomorrow - cheers, Liz x
