As we prepared to go exploring for embellishments, earlier this month we went in search of our favorite tools. There were lots of art & quilting tools mentioned and I know I got a few new ideas along the way. Thank you all for participating.
Now its time we set out along the trail...
Some of my favorite things to collect and use on my quilts are beads...and there are just soooooooooo many to choose from out there.

My two favorite bead stores in the Los Angeles CA area are: the San Gabriel Bead Company (they have a Face Book page) and the Creative Castle in Newbury Park, CA, just west of Thousand Oaks.
oohh, wonderful sounding stores. my favorite -- amongst many is Shipwreck Beads in Lacey, WA I wrote about them in Oct/09 http://ravenspeakquilts.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-seattle-adventures.html
such a wonderful store & website! I'm heading there now!
Hi, Rose -- When I lose a single earring I give the remaining one a second chance by putting it in my beads bin to await--or even suggest-- just the right project in the future.
I should add that my solo earring collection is building up nicely, but my creative outflow isn't keeping pace---not even close!
I laughed when I read about your solo earrings, Judy.. I have given a new life to my own and others (love checking for jewelry at yard sales)no longer used jewelry.... they seem to talk to after a while about where they want to go. I had found this old box of earrings and they made perfect orbs on the quilt Lunar Flight - front page of my website...sold long, long ago, but I still have a couple of those earring left. thanks for sharing.
I've got beads, beads, beads that I have been collecting for years and years, so I am truly looking forward to your next book. I love Dream Landscapes. Way to go, Rose!!!
