hooked on wire 2005
this past weekend, lynda and i participated in the 2005 hooked on wire retreat. this retreat was an intense 3 days of classes (with optional night classes) which kicked off on friday night with a spectacular presentation on swarovski crystal, complete with out-of-this-world product give-aways, many door prizes, access to sample books and trends forecasting.
throughout the weekend, teachers were inspirational; class projects were interesting; techniques were flexible and re-usable; students were focused. the classes are small enough to feel comfortable; conversations were easy. i guess it is best described as "everything feels great" when you're doing something you love and are surrounded by people who feel the same way.
and guess who won the grand prize drawing????? yup, it was me.... a beautiful strand of faceted briolettes of golden rutilated quartz donated by the beading frenzy (click pic to embiggen)
so i did actually finish one of the projects... lisa niven kelly's wire lattice bracelet.
i promise to post the others as i finish them....
