I am so happy with all these two hole beads that are out, mostly the Czech line. Superduos, Rulla and now the Czechmates triangles! These beads have really sparked my creativity and I couldn't be happier! From these beads I have put out 3 tutorials and I will be published in a national magazine! 
The latest tutorial is made from the new fun triangles! I stitched this up and created what I call "Alligator Tail" since it has the triangles looking like scales and going in two directions. I even offer up two different ways to make the bracelet, offering more design for the money! It is now listed for sale in my shop for $6.50, just click the picture a
Stay tuned as I have 3 more tutorials in the works.

These fun and easy earrings are made of Swarovski chatons, they are crystals with the traditional style cut of a diamond and come in a range of sizes. I used the very popular 39SS, which is just over a 8mm and set them in a setting made from Rullas and seed beads. I also used a larger stone, a 55SS and a 60SS. I also included instructions for connecting them to give you multiple design options! Try them out today, they only take about an hour or less if your more experianced!

As I posted a couple weeks ago, my fave bracelet "Bubbling Over Pinks" was entered into Fire Mountain Gems Seed Bead Contest and I was waiting to hear the results! Well, I won! Not only was I a finalist I exceeded my expectations and won a Gold Metal! I am so thrilled and honored and I can't wait to get started on another piece or maybe I should send them my Cellini Spiral for the next contest. Fire Mountain also had my bracelet photographed by a professional photographer and may be used in their catalog or even in their national advertising! That would floor me!
