Mimi's Gems
I came across Mimi's when I was hunting for glue in Tierracast bails for Chris's new pendant beads he is making. Then I fell in love with her prices, selection, and fantastic service! She has a huge amount of Tierracast at some really awesome prices (and you can order the full package of the style). She has a wide variety of Swarovski crystals in colors and styles I hadn't seen before too. They are getting ready to move their store from California to Nevada (I think) so their shop will be closed for a month starting in May. But these are some of the fabulous pieces I have purchased from them:
I have a weakness for LARGE Swarovski stones and rivoli. Mimi's has some really cool colors of rivoli! Stop by their website and check them out!
Good Quill Hunting and Bead Dreamers are a couple of seed bead pattern sources I have purchased from lately. Good Quill Hunting owner and design artist Christina Neit has some really fun patterns, kits and finished jewelry. I purchased this pattern from her:
and I made it using terra cotta and turquoise Tila beads resulting in a very Egyptian bracelet! I added a Tierracast Ankh charm to complete the design. Would love to show you, but can't find it at the moment to photograph it!
I met the gals behind Bead Dreamers last weekend at the Grand Island Bead Bazaar. They are from Minnesota and these are the patterns I purchased from them!
