norcal bead bazaar 2006
the northern california bead society held its bead bazaar at the oakland marriott city center on 4/1/06. i was there (of course) with my beadie buddies. here's some of my treasure:
these ceramic beads are all by gail splaver. i only purchased the big one in the middle this time around... the rest were purchased over several years. i have been collecting them to put together a necklace and i think i've got enough to do it now. i also own several of her ceramic vessels as well.
these beads are by janice peacock:
i picked up these ceramic pendants at specialty beads:
since i've been knitting so much, i needed to pick up some unique buttons to go with my finished knitted garments. these buttons are from the button shoppe. the silver leaves are actually from the san mateo gem show (from silver sky) which i attended with lynda this past saturday.
there's tons more show and tell for both the bead bazaar and the gem show... for another post at a later time...
