And More Power To You - Jean Power teaching in September!
It's not really a contest you know. It's not really a cage match with the "Ele-e-gant Cryst-hal Cabochons in this cow-ner, weighing in at pure bling and a touch of dazzle; and in this cow-ner - a flash from the past, with a dust of rust, the down-to-earth funky Metal Pendants."
Well - it might be.But I'm fairly certain that most of us have dabbled in both ends of design spectrum at one time or another! And - sometimes we even combine the two!
And with this week's offerings - you can choose one, or the other, or both!
These German Glass cabochons have a 
marvellous contoured shape, oval and swirly, or round and mountainous. And they come in your choice of shiny or matte. To me - they evoke the exotic stones of the fabulous vintage Har jewelry! Wirewrap them, or pop them into a bezel or some epoxy clay! Or even concrete!
On the rough and ready side - we have all these casual metal pendants! You can declare your allegiance
to the Cat Tribe, the Dog Clan, or you can just run with the horses.
Or, if you are more of a bird-brain ;-)
- We have swallow beads too.
Back to School!
Have you been looking forward to bundling the kids off to school? Or have you been packing up the car and driving them off to their new lives in university.
With that out of the way - it's time to think about your own continuing education! Classes are fun, get out - see new things, meet new people; a chance to learn new stuff, make new stuff; and by the way - keep your brain young and supple!

This sparkling ornament, or pendant, takes the basics of the geometric stars and fires them up a notch with the addition of bicone crystals in the centre to make a reversible, dazzling star.Saturday, September 24: Armarria Series Bracelet
