Bead&Button photos, Part I (Meet the Teachers)

The metal dust has settled, and we’re back into the swing of things again. We had an amazing time at the show. It’s always a whirlwind, but well worth it to meet so many customers and students face-to-face. Here’s our first round of photos.

Meet the Teachers Reception on Wednesday night:

Me! (Rebeca)

Vanessa:

and a closer-up photo of Vanessa’s awesome scalemaille jacket:

My table was back-to-back with Sherry Serafini, an amazing beadwork artist. It was great to meet her in person. One of the first things I told her was how much I loved the Aerosmith belt she’d made. (Confession: I am an Aerosmith junkie. So much so, that I even have 5 Aerosmith tattoos!) As soon as I’d said that, she grinned, turned around, and grabbed this purse off her table. *swoon*

Stay tuned for more photos of happy customers in our booth, Bead Dreams and the B3 crew goofing off.

    Is that a chainmaille dragon I see in front of Vanessa? That is absolutely adorable! :)

    Thank you for sharing photos of the convention and being an inspiration to novice chainmaillers everywhere…

    We had a great time at the show and wish we could have stayed for 2 days, but we couldn’t. By the way what is the jacket that Vanessa has on made of. Is that her latest project. It is beautiful.

    Yep, it’s a dragon. Vanessa is queen of beaded dragons. :-) She also has an awesome photo of her scale jacket on Facebook. It is her most recently completed epic project.

    Thanks for the comment on the dragon and the scale jacket! And Rebeca, thanks for the comment. I do love beaded dragons. :)

    Love the aerosmith purse. Although not a big fan of the band but that is so sick! Awesome work. Love the jacket. Would love to learn how to do a bit of clothing but don’t know where to begin.
