Beaded Beads. This month, Mary Winters-Meyer is going to teach us another technique for making beaded beads using peyote. For those who wish to get a head start, this technique starts with a peyote tube just as last month’s project, 20 beads long and 12 rows wide.

The International Gem & Jewelry Show Inc. has decided to hold a new series of shows starting in 2003, the International Bead Show. (I think this proves just how popular beads have become!) Unfortunately, we did not get enough volunteers to have a booth for the Society. However, we do have a large number of coupons for $1 off the entrance fee that will be available at this month’s meeting. The show in Chicago is May 23, 24 and 25th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.
