It's almost summer! YAY! I love the summer time, I
love warm weather and (I know it's bad, but...) I love
the sun! I love when it's warm enough to have dinner
outside and I love how the garden looks too. It's a
little tougher to torch during heat waves, but I still
manage to get out there. Just set that fan for waist
down...that does the trick for me!
Summer also means it's time for our 2nd quarter meeting
will be held at the Mandrel on June 28th. The bead exchange
theme will be "Picnic at the Beach". Anything
goes...beach beads, surf boards, food, bunnys in bikinis....what
ever! We are also asking members to bring in any "orphan
beads" to be donated to the ISGB for Gathering
goodie bags. They are looking for basic beads, nothing
fancy, just beads! They need over 600, so what ever
we can do to help would be very much appreciated. If
you bring in a baggie of at least 20 beads, (1 ticket
for every 20!) your name will be put in a drawing and
the winner will receive a very nice bundle ($40 value)
of colored boro glass!
We will provide a sandwich tray, so bring sides....potato
salad, side salads, chips, veggies, pie, lemonade, what
ever you feel woud be appropriate "picnic"
food.
The demos this month will be a few of our "own"
demoing wire wrapping techniques. We will have a couple
demos going on at the same time, so you can move around
and see different techniques and designs. This would
be a great meeting to bring your finished pieces since
that will be the focus of the demos. We all enjoy seeing
other designers work...show it off!
Brad Pearson will be teaching at The Mandrel on June
7th & 8th. Check out www.themandrel.com
for more info.
The International Gem & Jewelry show is happening

And coming up in August, the Bead Society of San Diego
County put on a wonderful show at the Scottish Rite
Center....lots of lampwork art and great beading supplies!

And the biggie, The ISGB Gathering is taking place
in OUR backyard! Take advantage of how close this event
is to us! I know I'll be there!
 There
are so many activities, classes, bead swaps, wine stopper
contest, a banquet, bead bazaars, tons of demos! This
will be my first Gathering and I am really looking forward
to it! For more info, visit the ISGB website.
