I love this clasp!



blog.myspace.com/marymuffin: "I love this clasp, but alas, it will be replaced by a sterling silver one of a slightly different design (but my wrist will enjoy it anyway - and anyone else who would want this even though it isn't sterling silver)"

This is a gorgeous clasp - I haven't seen one like it before.

Bead work cover story

Bead work cover story: "On her fourth decade of creative adventures and a serious beader since 1997, Deni Whaley this month reached an artistic pinnacle.

Her innovative scented beaded beads are the featured cover story in the August issue of Bead and Button Magazine, a top glossy publication for avid bead-lovers around the world. The cover photo features a rainbow creation she made six years ago and inside her step-by-step article lays out the basics of recreating her idea.

Getting top billing surprised her for an idea she pitched last fall, got approval for around Christmas and wrote up this spring. She just found out recently that her necklace, one of four she sent to magazine staff at their Milwaukee, Wis. headquarters for photos, would be the cover art."

I really enjoyed this article, I hope you do too! Some unusual beading ideas in there too.
