Clasp Class full!

As of today, April 21, all places in the PMC Guild Pre-conference workshop, "Clasps and Findings in PMC" are taken.  I am going to try to disable the PayPal button so no one has to spend money to be on a waiting list.  I will take names and email addresses for the waiting list.  Thanks!
The other class I am teaching, "Instant Earrings" has places left.  This is an amazing, simple project that you will love.  I guarantee it!!! 

See you at the conference!

For my bead friends:

Please take the time to enter your best beads in the GlassLine Magazine's "Small But Beautiful" competition. Guys, this is one prestigious exhibit. It is interanational in scope. It may well mark a moment in time in the evolution of contemporary glass beads.

I will be teaching a really neat, 3 hour workshop at Bead & Button this year. It is something I call the instant earring project. Using the relatively "cheap" PMC paper and fine silver wire, we can create awesome, light-weight earrings. Please check out the Bead & Button class page when online registration opens on January 10, 2012 at 12 PM CST.

I will also be teaching that earring project and a clasp and finding workshop before the PMC Guild Conference June 19 & 20, 2012. Here is the link:

You can also register for the workshops at the PMC Conference on my website, www.bbsimon.com.

Of course you can email me about any of the above stuff.

Hope to see you there!

Bronze Bangles

Bottom: A bronze bangle that I repaired when it broke in 3 places and an image of another (top photo) that broke and one "cube" was so unsalvage-able that I ground it down and am going to rivet or solder on new "faces." If you can't fix it, cover it up.....

Here it is!

Marthe at Lark sent me this pic of the "hot off the press" book! Cool!

Signed Copies of "Metal Clay Beads"

If you would like a signed copy of my book, "Metal Clay Beads," here's what I have decided to do: email me your name, address for shipping, MC or Visa # and exp. dates. When the books come, I will sign the book, charge your card and ship it off to you. The books will be here in April and I will try to get them to you asap.

The cost is $24.95 plus shipping. If you live in Florida, I will also charge a sales tax. The shipping cost will depend on your location. It will be no more than $8, hopefully less. The email on my website will work or use bbbsimon at comcast.net.
