Beading Bezel Symposium

Our beading group met over a 3 day span from 9am to lunch time each day for a very special intense class this week entitled "how to peyote stitch a bezel around a small or large pendant". Our daring and patient "ring leader" was a lovely lady named Elle who flew in from Arizona for a little R & R and to teach us. She is an experienced weaver of intricate and lavishing pieces of art. Here's Elle and just a few of her pieces.

One of the girls gave us all a piece of her antique chandelier. Elle was quite generous and gave us each a large piece of Swarovski crystal. Plus, we all brought some of our own trinkets and baubles some of which we found on our favorite beaches. Here's our creations!

After 3 to 4 hours of intensive fun beading each day we had a rendezvous at extraordinary restaurants. El Farro in Jarreterdaras, Common Ground in Puerto Vallarta, and Los Arroyos Verdes in Bucerias. I can't help but take pictures of anything beautiful! Here's my lunch at Los Arroyos Verdes in Bucerias. What a fabulous new resort and restaurant! Check it out...

Here's some of the group. One important lady is missing who is taking the picture and that would be hostess Sue. We'll snap her next week when the beading session comes to Amapas at my casa!
