What did you do with your weekend?

I've been working on more art-themed jewelry and beaded objects for a gallery show, and just put the finishing touches on a  necklace inspired by Julie Taymor's Beatles-music film 'Across The Universe'. A wild strawberry shaped centerpiece done in crazy brick stitch on a black bead chain wasn't quite enough--so I added a 'fan' of black beads behind the green leaf part.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at a craft show that's reputed as one of the best on the East Coast. I haven't been to enough craft shows to comment on that reputation, but it WAS pretty nice. I saw floral wall plaques made of enameled metal nails, artisan soaps/bath products, sampled champagne jelly and stopped by the local bead shop, where I picked up some teal frosted teardrop beads, a yellow calcite donut and a pair of white quartz donuts. I already have an idea percolating for the calcite, and the quartz will probably become a bold pair of earrings.
