Bead and Jewelry Link Love

It's beginning to look a lot like...Halloween around here. Here's what the Short One and I have been up to this week. I cut the shapes out and the Short One glues (or at least attempts to glue) the pieces together. We use Elmer's glue stick right now to avoid excessive messes, and he's a great fan of the product. I usually have to wrest the it out of his sticky hands at the end of a craft session.

One of my pieces, entitled "Chinese Lantern", that will be published in the Nov/Dec issue of Step by Step Beads appears in today's Beading Daily post! It's right next to Carter Seibel's piece (which is also the cover necklace for the issue - congratulations, Carter!). Please go here to read it - the post is entitled "How to Add an Exotic Touch to Your Jewelry". You do have to be registered with Beading Daily to read it, but registration is free.
