Manny packages of colorful beads strewn across a floor.

This chaos of beads all over my studio floor is a big order of beads from a Canadian wholesaler that arrived today, just in time for Tariff Tuesday.

This family-owned company carries some really fun Czech glass beads, most of which I can't get elsewhere.

A cluster of flowers on green branches. Along with a small white bud there are two downward-facing closed flowers that are pale pink with dark magenta around the edges.

Everything's popping up pink this week.

A pair of earrings laying on a wood background. The earrings have mustard yellow flowers suspended in a teardrop of purple beads, with a swag of oil slick purple dagger beads at the bottom.

Look at these colors! Isn't it wonderful how two things that are quite literally each other's opposites can work so well together?

Earrings with balls of pink flowers and seed beads nestled in moss and lichen.

I'm starting to add ink patinas to the textured glass in my work.

Next up is experimenting with alcohol inks - would to hear/see what other have done with this on tiny scale work.

Earrings with pink and purple beaded flower balls suspended from silver rings.

Butterfly bush purples...

My studio feels like a chrysalis this time of year, and a thousand times more so right now.

I'm looking forward to unfurling, putting new work on display and making community in person on February 13-15 at Feather in the Wind Pop-Up at Alki Arts in #seattle

Earrings on a bar. The earrings have a big bauble suspended from a large brown metal ring. The bauble is formed from teal flowers bordered with a netting of tiny brown and gold beads.

Working on some new pieces with vintage vibes. Minus vintage values.
