Ready for the Bead&Button Show
Tools? check, jewelry? check, class tickets? check, clothes? check, nerves? still uncontrollable. What is going on? I'm getting ready to go to the biggest consumer bead show in the world: the Bead& Button Show to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin the first week of June. My husband called it "the Superbowl of beading". With this comment I think that you get the idea, don't you? In addition to having the biggest market place ever where you can find every single bead imaginable, the show offers more than 580 classes taught by national and international artists in many different techniques. Last year the show had more than 13,000 visitors from all over the world. For more than six months I have been planning for next week reading about the classes, the instructors, and the techniques. I decided to focus on "metal working" classes to horn my skills in this media which I think will complement beautifully my current gemstone jewelry.
Stay tuned for the projects that I will be doing in the classes and see which ones are successful and which ones are just a "nice try".
