Garnet

 Hello. Happy Holidays.


Wanted to share my next project celebrating 30 years a painter. I worked with Whimsy BeadWorks and learned to make bracelets. They are gorgeous garnet beads, stainless steel beads and rings. I wanted to make  a subtle design and of course wanted it red; my favorite color. The garnet is a deep red and gets you in the mood to sparkle. Now, for sale throughout Chicagoland. There are only 30 limited edition pieces. 


I could not have done this without the help of the Shelby Koester at Whimsy BeadWorks. She was super patient and taught me the steps to making a bracelet. It's not only stringing beads. I learned a bit about bead quality, wires, stainless steel pieces, where to shop and jewelry tools. It was great fun to work together!


Support local creatives, grab one for yourself, your loved ones at any of these shops and events. Happy Holidays!













Thank you so much for staying with me through these 30 Years A Painter Campaigns. I would be grateful if you shared my blog with your people!
