<\/span>A few days ago I showed you some handmade business cards<\/a> that I used at the Fraser Valley Bead Show<\/a>. This is a local event which takes place annually not too far from where I live. It’s a small show with only about 50 vendors, perfect for mingling and stocking up on supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year I had the good fortune of bumping into Linda Gross<\/a>, a polymer clay artist and teacher who lives and works about an hour North of me in Deep Cove, British Columbia. That is her and me in the photo above. She teaches out of her home and sometimes has big name guest artists do workshops there as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming up in November she will be having Julie Picarello over, to teach her famous Mokume Gane technique. Although I won’t be attending the workshop, it would be great to meet Julie. I hear she is awesome. I’ll have to check with Linda to see how long Julie will be in town for, to see if there would be time for a visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it turned out, I ended up getting to the Bead show late in the second day of this 3 day event. That was a bit of a mistake since everyone appeared to be pretty exhausted. It made things more difficult to strike up conversations with people. I’ll be sure to remember next year to come in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall though, the show was worth attending. I got to pick up a good supply of Niobium Wire as well as some new jewelry tools. But the highlight was definitely getting meet Linda who I’m sure I will be chatting with again soon. She has a wonderful, larger-than-life<\/em> personality.<\/span><\/p>\n
