Marvelous March


Spring has finally arrived, and the snow is starting to melt – visions of warmer weather fill my head. The daffodils leaves are about four inches tall and the trees are starting to bud – and soon the hummingbirds will return – and then the subdued landscape will once again be teaming with life.

And with the change of season, comes new creations designed to celebrate the rebirth of the world around us. The March issue of Bead Trends Magazine offers some wonderful ideas to jumpstart your spring/summer creative thoughts. Included in this issue is my Enchanted Forest Bracelet (pages 22 & 23). The bracelet features handmade bronze charms, a colorful array of 4mm glass beads, and glass leaves. Along with beautiful photos of artists work are tutorials on how each piece was made.

Enjoy your new creative adventure…
