Beaded by Sylvia Abeyta

I do believe it is getting wintry!  Santa Fe and Taos are expecting snow in the mountains tonight.  
Come celebrate the season with us at our 
Friday Happy Hour event:

December 8th,

4:30 -6:00

We'll be making these clever (and easy) earrings using SuperDuos, seed beads, and drops. This is a great pattern for new bead stitchers.  The pattern is free to the public from Matubo beads, the creator of SuperDuos and many of your favorite Czech pressed glass beads.

Happy Hour Project - Pauline Pendant by Carole Ohl

Beaded by Sylvia Abeyta

This clever pattern uses prongs and CzechMate beads to bezel a 14 mm rivoli.  The new Paradise Shine crystal from Swarovski is a mysterious mix of blues and greens, with a hint of purple.  I chose a matching palette which creates a textured frame in these same colors.  This pendant is reversible, and the flip side shows a different look - less bling, more vintage.    

Join us at the shop on Friday, November 10th, 4:30-6 for a FREE event, with refreshments,good company, and supported beading from our own, Sylvia Abeyta. 

Beginners will enjoy this pattern.

There's no registration.
