However, Heather Powers makes some great winter themed beads.Erin Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660928844295427111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-81238695500533044482014-11-22T16:22:10.148-05:002014-11-22T16:22:10.148-05:00Lovely beads Claire.

So I prefer things that evoke a season rather than a specific holiday. I love the igloo and polar bear! So adorable. Lately I have been seeing penguins that I think are to die for. Thanks for the peek inside your studio and sorry that I cannot win! <br />Enjoy the day.

(I definitely think so!) <br /><br />I was thinking about your question but the problem is that I can honestly not answer it. It all depends on my mood whether I like to create something inspired by winter time at all or just go with whatever is in my hand. But I always love organic and more tribal/rough structures. I am waiting for beads Kimberly from Numiniosity Beads made for me... They will have a more sea glass / ancient beads feeling... but the teched effect could also easily go over to winter'ish ^^Saraccinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002153353895199412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-32370351310104690192014-11-22T02:23:57.873-05:002014-11-22T02:23:57.873-05:00Beautiful beads!

I save them for treats for my nieces for when they get upstairs Auntie Colleen time.<br /><br />Probably my most favorite winter/Christmas beads are made by Stephanie Gough and I have yet to manage to get any.

I haven't come across you before and am positively jiggling with delight at 'discovering' you (and your links) to other fabulous artisans. I got all nostalgic when I saw your kiln. I had one years ago for China painting but had to leave it on the removal van when I was forced to downsize. I might pick your brains about yours.<br /><br />I have a number of favourite artists for different types and styles so its really hard to choose. But currently my uk favourite is Rebecca Anderson of songbirds who sources her supplies from all over the world. I am in love with a pair of her earrings called Gardenia at the moment (as well as lots more of her work and beads etc) If I could name another worldwide artist I would but then I would be disqualified from the draw (sad face) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243672302584272760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-26318144923379230922014-11-21T09:01:24.544-05:002014-11-21T09:01:24.544-05:00Love those igloos Claire!!
