If You Need More Glass Beads…Babe in Oakland, CA

Glasscapes by Mingo and Asho

Glasscapes by Mingo and Asho is one of the many exhibitors at Babe – Bay Area Bead Extravaganza. They make blown beads among other glass goodies but this is what they’re most known for. And on a side note, I love these guys. Super people as well as talented glass artists! And that’s what Babe is filled with. Glass isn’t the only type of bead you can find here but some of the best bead makers come out to this show. It’s held in Oakland, November 14-15, 2009 and if you’re in the Bay Area part of California I think you should go. Think of the holidays! You can do all your Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza shopping in one place. Also you can take classes. How fun is that?

Some of the other fabulous glass bead artists that will be attending are…JC Herrell, Leah Fairbanks (a goddess by the way!), Lisa Kan, Karen Nan Designs (fused glass), Jujee Beads…and so many more. Check out the exhibitor list!

If you’re starting on your Halloween paper crafting projects you’re going to want to download this amazing collection of Halloween silhouettes! There are 32 different designs you can download for FREE. This all black set of clipart designs has spooky images of black cats, bubbling cauldrons, creepy skulls, a flight of bats, creeping spider, haunting ghosts, laughing Jack O’ Lanterns and some eerie sentiments as well. These images come in SVG, JPG and PNG so they can be printed out or die cut with your electronic die cutting machine. I love using silhouettes with colorful backgrounds created with ink blending or alcohol inks so the dark image really pops. Use them to create cards, scrapbook layouts, party decor or planner pages for your upcoming Halloween projects.
