Bead Fest Philadelphia

Bead Fest Philadelphia has been over for a while, but I was recently going over my notes and photos from there and I came across a picture of me demonstrating one of my bracelet designs for Dreamtime Creations.  Here I demonstrated my Chevron Chain Tennis Bracelet using SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS. This was a wonderful experience as I made new friends and contacts from Dreamtime Creations and I met a host of beaders who stopped to learn the Chevron Chain technique.

I also had the opportunity to demonstrate for CREATE YOUR STYLE with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS at their booth on the floor.  As a new CREATE YOUR STYLE Ambassador, this was a very exciting chance to not only show netting technique in another one of my designs, but to represent CREATE YOUR STYLE and the use of products from the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS assortment. One of the most rewarding aspects of designing or teaching is watching the excitement in the eyes of students, or in this case, the visitors to the booths.
