New Colorwheels rolling off the press!

A companion to our EYE FOR COLOR Interchangeable Templates and Colorwheel System, Joie Moring and I designed new sets of colorwheels to capture the rich, alluring hues of the earth.

Rich, spicy browns

Cool, airy greys

The colorwheels are on press and will be released June 6th, just in time for the Bead & Button Show (and coincidentally on the 2 year anniversary of EYE FOR COLOR!). Stay tuned for pre-order info...

Earthtone Palettes

Entranced by the earth's stunning palettes, Joie and I are going to press tomorrow with our new set of color wheels! More color to come...

I've been immersed in color over the last days, weeks, months and out of touch with you, my dear blog friends. I can't wait to dive back in and see what you've been up to!

Poughkeepsie and new friends

From the beautiful green hills along the Hudson River to wild turkeys roaming through the back yard, I fell in love with Poughkeepsie NY. How lucky was I to be surrounded by fun, creative women, delicious home-cooked meals (thank you Kershaw) and loads of color!

Thank you Janice for everything - you are a gracious host, talented artist and a wonderful new friend!

I Dream of Beading

Wander with Flair Sunday May 2

I'm off to I Dream of Beading in Poughkeepsie NY for a trunk show and 3 days of classes. I'll come loaded with bead soups and books (Beaded Colorways and Eye For Color) - hope to see you there!

Jerry's Garden

He designed the front garden and pulled me in to help choose plants. How fun to work together in the soil!

Oh to be a kid again!
