  Gaea's Beads and Pendants   Have you ever seen Gaea Cannaday's artisan ceramic beads and pendants?  She is an extremely talented clay artist who also creates enchanting jewelry designs that are frequently published in such magazines as "Stringing" and "Jewelry Affaire" .  Gaea contacted me after I purchased some of her fabulous art beads.  She asked me if I would like to trade jewelry for beads and pendants.  I was very honored by this request.  I wanted to share with you the beautiful beads I received.  Please check out Gaea Esty store , website and blog to view and purchase her creative designs.         One of my local beads shops "Brea Bead Works" featured Gaea's pendants at trunk show last weekend.  Below is a photo of some of the pendants I purchased.

Bead Trends Magazine  October 2010 The October issue of Bead Trends has just hit the Newsstands. I have one project in this issue "Bel Ami Shari".  This piece was named after my friend Shari Vallejos.  Shari is a wonderful person.   She is a beautiful, strong woman who I admire very much.   I love creating these heirloom designs out of sterling silver and semi precious stones.  I am sure this technique must have a name.  I call it "intricate wire work."  If anyone knows the name of this specific technique, please let me know.
