Recently I had the surprise to receive emails from people I have met on Etsy.

Thank you, Allie, Marilyn, Verna, Elizabeth and Ally! You are very generous!

"I just had to tell you how very talented you are! Your work is just STUNNING! I have never seen this kind of beadwork and I LOVE IT! Your designs are gorgeous and I think I "liked" more of your items than not! LOL I am just dazzled by your talent and I wanted you to know"!

Allie

"I have some of your jewelry from the Museum of Women in the Arts and the glass exhibit in NJ. One is a bird with feathers that I love! The other is a blue heart with pearls. It is so unusual and I always get positive comments about the pieces!"

Marilyn

"I just wanted to say how awestruck I am by your magnificent creations! The time involved in each piece is probably unbelievable. It is hard to realize that you have created some many beautiful projects and still have time to do anything else!
What a wonderful experience, just to browse through your gallery"!

Verna


This brooch is owned by Elizabeth Shimizu

"I'm speechless!!! This is THE most gorgeous brooch I have ever seen. Incredible, intricate work!! Thank you so much!"

"Dear Ileana,

I just wanted to thank you for your beautiful work and to let you know that can see all of the love and care that went into this pouch. I will treasure this special piece forever!

Of all the many beautiful objects and magical tools I've purchased on Etsy, this is one of my favorites. Photos don't do it justice. Beyond my expectations and truly a masterpiece! Thank you so much. It will be loved and cared for.

Blessings,
Ally P".

March Newsletter

News from Enchanted Beads

It's been a while - end of November- since I sent you my Newsletter. After a long and busy winter I would like to touch base with you and let you know what I have been up to.

You probably already know that I like to participate in Challenges. It makes me create a new piece, around a theme that was previously decided by a member of our Etsy Beadweavers Group. In February my entry was a necklace, "Royalty Throughout Time".

I also created a ring and earrings with the same type of royal blue Swarovski Moonstone crystals I used in the necklace.
