Surrounded By Crystals

posted: Tuesday, 10 October 2017

A day of crystals today starting with contemplating what colour variation I want to bead for my next Cate bracelet.

Then heading off to meet with Swarovski and see their launch for their Fall/Winter 2018/19 Trends. It's always interesting to see the new items and learn more about them. I'm usually really inspired to design new pieces with them and itching to get beading using them. Sometimes it can take a few years before I get the chance to even if I know exactly what I want to make when I see them (my Cate bracelet is a perfect example of that) but this time I'm hoping to get working on them ASAP.

Next up was dinner and drinks with Shona Bevan to discuss teaching, travelling, photography, beading and designing.
