I have been so busy recently that I have completely forgotten to mention some beady things which have happened.

First up was my Geometric Tulips project making the front cover of issue 15 of Perlen Poesie! Also inside the magazine is a profile on my work and lots of lovely photos they took  - and as an extra special bonus - a photo of me looking completely mental. I have my my hair soaking wet as I had just got out of the shower and was not expecting photos - and definitely not expecting to be filmed. Kind people have told me I look 'enthusiastic' but I think crazy best sums it up.

On a less embarrassing note I had a project: 'Bezelled Buttons' in the January 2013 issue of Beads & Beyond Magazine. This is a nice set and if you would prefer a bit of bling then all the projects can be done using 14mm rivolis instead....

I am working on a new project for the magazine as we speak...which is all crystals so plenty of sparkle to keep those of you who are magpies happy.
