A good friend of mine is taking a class this weekend by bead maker Jeff Barber. It made me check out his web site and he sure does make lovely beads. He even has a tutorial for a bead he calls the Talisman Bead which I’m sharing a link to here. It incorporates a number of techniques and is a great bead for someone with some experience. You’ll make silvered latticino, a striped murrini and use them on a slender tube bead. Give it a try. I think I will too.

Adorable chickens with egg gardens made with recycled egg cartons
Chickens and eggs are in the news virtually every day so when I spotted this adorable craft at the blog Bodenseewellen I thought I’d share it with enough time to start growing the mini garden in time for Easter. I do love that the boring egg packaging can be transformed into an adorable chicken with egg holder perfect for growing greens.
