Hey y’all remember those truck ornaments Bead Boys was selling last year? Look what you can do with them.

I posted a picture of the truck ornament last week and I got lots of questions about it.
1. It's a project I did several years ago. You can find the pattern here: https://offthebeadedpathbeadstore.com/holiday-brooch-pdf-instant-download-pattern/ and the video here: https://youtu.be/XnjM9Yv94hA?si=x3odNm7t-_2RjbFr
2. I made the truck cabochon. I show how to make it in the video.

I can't wait to see the ornaments, pendants, or brooch you make!

What a cool idea! You can find Fire Polish Czech glass beads at Bead Boys. BUT we don’t have the letters.

The festive colors and sparkling facets of Czech fire-polished beads in this bracelet are always on the Nice List! bit.ly/3XAKFdU

Are you a BlingFest vendor! Want to make more sales?
On Sunday, July 14, and Sunday, Aug. 11, Vendor Display Bootcamp: "Tips and Tricks to Get Your Wares Seen and Sold" will be held noon-2 p.m. at Beady Boys, 2855 Thousand Oaks.
Lauri Eaton, BlingFest chair and owner of Wholly Grail Gems, will share some of her ideas on building a better display for your BlingFest booth, affordable sources of display such as busts and bracelet bars and creative ways to reimagine thrift-store and clearance-aisle items to make your own display pieces.
Each bootcamp session, which will include about 45 minutes of tips and instruction followed by a question-and-answer period, will accommodate 10 attendees, so those who are interested may send an email to Eaton to reserve a spot. Her email: [email protected].
Any SABS member who would like to offer their own tips is also welcome to send Eaton an email to share with bootcamp attendees.

We are extremely pleased to announce that all of the business assets of TierraCast have been acquired by passionfashion IKE, an established manufacturing and wholesale company in Athens, Greece. Passion Fashion embodies many of the same values, and commitment to quality of product that we here in California formerly provided to the trade. We firmly believe that this move promises to be more of a “passing of the torch”, than a simple business sale. Their acquisition not only covers the TierraCast brand name and website, but all of the original tooling, as well as hundreds of molds for our cast metal designs. (If you are a TierraCast wholesale customer, please expect a communication from Passion Fashion soon that should answer most of your initial questions.) Be assured that they are as eager to produce our original cast designs as you are eager to have them available once again. As always, thank you for your interest in TierraCast! 😊

I had the pleasure of seeing my fabulous designer friend, Sue Charette-Hood, at my retreat last weekend. Every time I think of her, I remember the earrings I created in her honor. They are fun to make and can be adjusted to be shorter if you prefer. You can watch the step-by-step video for this project here: https://youtu.be/_v1olbG2NGQ?si=UnO34_eUuSN0ZzG6
