A New Kit

After the photograph of my Corrugated Mixed Metals Color Ribbon Cuff appeared in the Bead & Button newsletter earlier in the month, several beaders asked me for a kit. It seemed like a good idea and so I ordered "some" beads...

The kit is now listed on Etsy in two versions:

With the pattern CD

 

and WithOUT the pattern CD

The kits are both listed at introductory prices ($20 and $31) for the next week...because I had misquoted those prices to some people. I'm including everything you need to make an 8" cuff (even 12 yards of the recommended 4# Fireline in smoke) except the scissors. I have even gone ahead and sprayed those beads that need it (all of the triangles and the galvanized delicas) with an acrylic sealer to strengthen the finishes.

And that's the news for this last day in November. Oh, wait! I'm at 1999 sales ... which reminds me:  Have you entered my The Second Sand Fibers 1,000 GiveAway yet?  Why not? ;)

Be well and get going!

Sold Out? Not for long, I promise!

I was a very bad store keeper last night:  I went to bed without making sure that there would be enough copies of the Blooming Beads pattern in my store for all who wanted to buy one while I was sleeping.  Not only did every copy I had listed sell, but I also received messages from those who had tried to purchase the pattern only to find it sold out.

I apologize!  The pattern is back in stock and I will do my best to keep a sufficient number of copies listed so that this does not happen again. If it does, however, please know that it will be back in the store as soon as I wake up/get back to the computer.  Thank you for your patience!

To see what some talented beaders have already created with this pattern, stop by the Sand Fibers Facebook fan page.

Now be well and get going on this Cyber Monday!

Saturday Window Shopping with Sand Fibers

This morning, I just want to indulge my love of cabochons...  I hope you can enjoy these even if you are not a beader.  Just think...your favorite beader(s) could always create something for you using one of these. Let your imagine run wild!
