Amber, a fossil, a mineroid and for us an adornment.
I love the warm golden tones in Amber. I am inspired by the history trapped in the sap.
Sunday, we took a trip to Glendale to check out out the Rubber Stamp Show to see if tables of beads and fiber would fit in the future. Well they wouldn't. The stampers arrived in groves, and all they see is stamps, new ink pads, glitter and all of the new toys to stamp with. I have to admit I went all over and asked for rubber stamps with the theme of Spinning or Weaving ... there were none to be found.
We also visited The Bead Museum. The grounds surrounding the Museum would make a great location for a Bead Bazaar. I love the wide side walks and the atmosphere of the area. While we were there I took several photos of interesting beads in the Bead Museum Bead Shop. I took them for my blog, of course, and to share with you so you will hurry right over and see them for yourself. Supporting the Bead Museum is important because for many years it was here in Prescott and it also was the only Museum only directed at beads in the world. Lets support it.
Also, Saturday March 8th from 10 to 11 am there is a volunteer gathering. "If you are an active volunteer or would like to become one please join us to hear about our new volunteer program! It's an exciting time to be involved as The Bead Museum reaches new audiences and grows to the next level. Our amazing volunteers make it possible to serve this community. We'll take a survey and share our calendar of events for 2008. Join us and bring a friend to learn about new opportunities and benefits! Refreshments will be served so please RSVP by march 7th" writes Katie Anderson, the Bead Museum Director.
