Bead & Button Show 2007
Debi Keir-Nicholson and Christina Vandervlist's ongoing adventures in Milwaukee.
Despite several "adventures" courtesy of American Airlines, Debi and Christina eventually made it safely to Milwaukee and were reunited with their luggage several days later. Despite the challenges, it wasn't long before the rainbows started sharing their magic with us.
We were thrilled, honoured, flabbergasted and delighted to meet one student - she won the draw prize at the Bead Social last year and put her entire prize winnings, AND THEN SOME MORE, towards taking BOTH our Clearly-Classical Triangle Bracelet as well as our Hopscotch Bracelet classes! I cannot think of anything as motivating as a beader who truly delights in your work and is eager to learn what you have to share. Thank you so much, Luverna, you truly made the Bead & Button Show 2007 a memorable and delightful experience.
One of the privileges of returning to teach at Bead & Button year after year is the opportunity to run into former students and see how they've taken your ideas and run with them! We were delighted to run into Suzanne Golden at the Marketplace and honoured to hear that OUR CLEARLY-CLASSICAL TRIANGLE BRACELET is the only class project she's ever completed! Not only that, but she promptly made another in her signature happy colours! She kindly emailed photos of her own (bright) bracelet seen below left, as well as the one created by her good friend and fellow classmate, Stacy Creamer (greens), as seen to the right.
For an opportunity to "meet" Suzanne Golden yourself, check out her video on YouTube - 365 Days of Aunt Susie! Her fun and funky style is as exciting as her bead art! Debi and Christina also enjoyed the opportunity to admire, admire and admire the wonderful entries to the Bead Dreams 2007 competition. Below are a few select photos to share the privilege - please excuse the reflections, etc. - while the competition viewing area was in a wonderful, well-lit atrium this year, it also produced a very poor environment for photography; the works on display were well worth squinting for!
