Honoring Mieko Takahashi Shull and Lucia Gulino, Etsy Metalclay Team Raffle
From Lorena Angulo's blog:
Honoring Mieko Takahashi Shull and Lucia Gulino: Etsy Metalclay Team Raffle
I am honor to be part of the Etsy Metalclay Team and it was in this group were I met Mieko and Lucia. These two wonderful ladies were not only talented but the nicest persons all the time. They always have nice words and a lot of support for all the other members of the team. Their work was beautiful and you could really see how much they enjoyed life and doing what they were doing.
Sadly for all of us in the team, our teammates and friends Mieko and Lucia passed away recently. We are all very sad to have lost two beautiful souls and wanted to do something in their honor. Members of the team donated a hand made charm made with silver, bronze or copper to create two bracelets. The bracelet chains are hand made with fused argentium sterling silver links with custom made taggles for each bracelet. The bracelet is 7 1/4 inches.
We will raffle the two bracelets and all the proceeds will be donated to charities in their memory. The proceeds will be split 50/50 between World Vision (Mieko's favorite charity) and an art scholarship in Lucia's name.
I made one of these beautiful charms, it is the bracelet with the flower toggle in memory of Mieko.

6th Bead Soup Blog Party, 2nd Reveal!
Thank you for stopping by. Many of you know that the awesome Lori Anderson is the organizer for the Bead Soup Blog Party and this is the 6th event she has hosted. Thank you Lori, for all your hard work! This has become such a popular affair that this time around there are 400 participants. As a result, today is the the second reveal date, of which I am a part.
This is the bead soup I received from my partner Regina Santerre
Please make sure to visit her blog to see what she has created with the bead soup I sent her.
So here is what I made with part of Regina's bead soup:
In this necklace, I used her butterfly (which is magnesite or howlite) as the focal and the rest of the beads are from my stash which include Czech glass, wood beads, solid bronze beads, and metallic bronze leather.
In the second necklace, I used Regina's Red Creek Jasper as the focal, the Green Girl Studios Toggle clasp and the bronze shell beads. I added from my stash Czech glass, two of my own fine silver rings, sterling silver daisy spacers and solid bronze chain.
These are the beads I had left over and I already have ideas for these. So I hope to have photos of those pieces soon.
I hope you enjoyed viewing my designs. Here are the rest of the participants for this 2nd reveal:

Back Home
We're back home and we had a great time catching up with all our friends. We are settling back into our routine and getting ready for school. The boys start school on August 8th, so this is our last week to chill.
Below are a few more photos of our vacation.
