Comments (3) I have been having a great time the last few weeks painting and embroidering pins shaped like shoes, hats and purses. I will soon be adding some of these to my Etsy shop. In addition, the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto will be carrying some of my shoe pins in their gift shop.
You can see a slide show below, or see the photos in my Flickr album.

On the third day, I took an introductory class in silver Art Clay, and made this silver pendant.
Here I am with Marla Novy, organizer of the Friendship Beading Retreat.

This is a picture of my first class at the retreat, a crocheted bracelet with Diane Reda.
Here is the bracelet I made in the class.
This is the first day of the Friendship Beading Retreat in Montréal. Everyone has been busy either taking classes, working on their own beading projects, or shopping.
This is my display of my contribution to the Bead Journal Project. I’m hoping to teach a bead embroidery class at the bead retreat next year.
