Today I uploaded new images of cylinder beads with coordinating spacer beads. These beads are used in Kathy Petersen and my chainmaille and focal bead project in the upcoming February 2009 Bead and Button magazine. I will be making some longer cylinders after Christmas, but for now, I am taking a little break from bead-making now that the last show for the year is over and the final custom order is ready to go out in tomorrow's mail. As the first year of my life as a full-time glass beadmaker and jewelry designer comes to a close, thank you so very much to all of you that have been part of my exciting new journey. I am having a great time in my new adventure! Can you tell? From all of us at Hager Studios, here is wishing you happy and healthy days in the year to come. Hopefully, we will see you at one of our 2009 shows. Until then, God be with you until we meet again.
