The Tucson Loot...

While I was working on some projects last night, I realized that I never posted pictures of the loot I scored here in Tucson. It's true that I didn't take home quite as many goodies as I did in previous years (still paying off all those pesky medical bills), but I did manage to find quite a few treasures that needed to be added to my dragon's hoard.

Below are pictures of some of the things I took home. Captions read from left to right:

Enameled Components, C-Koop Beads. New Craft Wire, Soft Flex Company. Galvanized Lucite, The Hole Bead Shop.

Lampwork glass beads, Harold Cooney. Lampwork barnacle focal, Bernadette Fuentes. Czech glass, Raven's Journey.

Enameled beads, caps and pendants made in class with Barbara Lewis of Painting with Fire. Vintage locket, European filigree, vintage filigree baubles, and Gilder's Paste, Kabela Design. Ceramic beads and pendants, Golem Studio.

Lampwork glass beads, Joyce Rooks. Lampwork glass owl, Grama Tortoise Beads. Raku beads and components, MakuStudio.

Ceramic beads and salt dish, Off Center Productions. Lampwork glass beads, Z Designs in Glass. Lampwork focal, Ellie Mac.

NEW mini Tarts, Glass Garden Beads. Lampwork Mod Focal bead, Terri Caspary Schmidt. Old World Bronze beads and pendants, Scottsdale Bead Supply.

(I did want to make a note saying how grateful I am for all the discounts and complimentary goodies I received from my friends and fellow vendors. I don't think I could have even amassed this many beautiful treasures if it weren't for the good graces of my fellow artisans. Thank you! I will make beautiful things with your beautiful work.)
