Bead & Button Show: Cynthia Rutledge.

Before the show, I had promised myself not to buy any bead kits, as I have a number of them just waiting to be worked up. Still, I needed to stop and admire Cynthia's beadwork. I was good and did not buy any kits from Cynthia, but I did purchase a Greg Hanson glass button for one of her projects that was published in Beadwork. That doesn't count!

Being surrounded by so much talent and inspiration left me feeling more refreshed and ready to work on a new project.

I'm not very far on it at the moment, but the fact that I have the seed beads back out and ready to go makes me happy.
