Gem Faire Shopping

Gem Faire was this weekend at the Tacoma Dome so I went shopping!  Take a look....

​Lots of fun goodies to play with!

The last time I went to Gem Faire, I ended up with strands and strands of beautiful turquoise blue rondelles.  This time I couldn't resist this color range of seafoam, celadon and ice blue.  ​

​Very pretty (and affordable) ceramic beads and some lovely Picasso beads in turquoise and coral. 

Fruit, fruit and more fruit!  I couldn't resist these lampwork darlings.   And I *loved* this combination of black ones. 

I also picked up findings and chain and some beautiful sterling Tibetan charms.  ​I can't wait to have a little time to play with all these new goodies.

Art Abandonment

From March 9th:

Worked tonight on some pieces to abandon tomorrow.  I can't wait! 

"Art Abandonment is a group designed to encourage random acts of art, left in various locations around the globe. The idea is that folks can make something and leave it for a lucky unsuspecting person to find. Artists can then post locations and photos of abandoned goodies…and finders can let everyone know that they are the lucky finder! O' sweet abandon!

So leave some art. Leave a contact email for the finder…and if you get notified share the message with this group. If you prefer you can use the contact email: i.found.artwork@gmail.com we'll be checking it often and share the results."

Here's an intro page on Typepad for full explanation: http://michaeldemeng.typepad.com/art_abandonment/

Wrapped up and ready to go!​

Left in the ladies room at Bahama Breeze at lunch.  :)

Abandoned amongst the Moleskines at my local Barnes and Noble.  ​

Have some bling with your melon.  :)

Squee!  I got a response that night!   I loved response #1, too, don't you?  xD  I will definitely be doing this again.
