Tucson Photo Album

Ah, Tucson in February. It's enough to melt this Midwesterner's heart. Join me for a quick tour...

I taught two classes here and was invited to be a Create Your Style Ambassador.
The new venue this year was sparkly and beautiful.


Lots of new shapes and colors on the horizon.

But, watch out for tumbleweeds! This one rolled across the parking lot.
We wanted to keep it, but agreed that it would be taking the natural/organic trend a bit too far.

There are shows all over the city, with venues in hotel ballrooms, suites and tents.
Here's a rainbow of color at DaBeads.

And, it's not just beads. There are lots of other things like finished jewelry, rocks, fossils,
and all kinds of imports. Here's
Fernando incognito in scarves at the Holidome.

There's so much eye candy that it can be overwhelming. I ended my trip with a long time
spent poring over
Paula Radke's beauteous dichroics.

I think I just shorted out my keyboard with drool...
