Master's Workshop in Seattle

My friend Bobbi has been buying beads from me for a long time also, like ShaLayne (who I'm a bit worried about because she lives in Poway, CA and I've not heard from her since the fires).

Bobbi sells beautiful jewelry, and this morning I saw a number of my pieces in her ebay store if you're interested in gifts or pieces for your collection. She even has a necklace starting at just 99 cents!

Donna beads...split pods

More pod designs from Donna Kato

ShaLayne's bracelet

This is the first bracelet that I've seen with my beads used. ShaLayne has been buying from me since the beginning...she does beautiful work! She also has an etsy shop. Jael blogged about the bracelet here...thanks Jael :o)

Balloon Fiesta pics on Flickr

Floral Pendants

Here are a few that I made for the festival last weekend. Hope you like :o)

GoFest weekend...

had lots of entertainment (mariachis, flamenco dancers, music), many colorful people and all in all, was a great time. I'm sure I'll do the show next year, this has the potential to become a mainstay festival for downtown Albuquerque. Notice the booth in the background behind one of the mariachis.

I have more pictures on my flickr site, although not the best I have ever taken *g*
