I'm still working away on my latest piece in my Geometric Series, the picture is a sneak preview of it. This is the beaded clasp at the back.

I finally manged to get to the new Swarovski shop in London to see the new range to be launched next year. It's a great space worth visiting to just see the full range of beads, pendants etc. It's so nice to see Swarovski no longer ashamed of their beads! They always seemed to be their 'dirty secret' which you'd never even know they produced if you looked at their website, shops etc. So it's about time they're shouting about them. Very hard to resist buying some of their new kits- but had to remind myself I own far too many crystals as it is- but it was nice to see some really fashion forward kits rather than the usual amulet purses ones we beaders usually get to choose from!

More online browsing and whilst doing so I stumbled across some great art sites. One I could resist was h.r.fricker's place of places series. So I'm now eagerly awaiting my own place to arrive. I found some other great ones as well, but seeing as they're limited pieces I'm not going to mention them until I own one- don't want you all rushing and buying one beating me!
