The temps are cooling down, aspen leaves are turning gold, and the flowers are putting out some final blooms as fall is in full swing here in Santa Fe. It is a really pretty time of year here. Along with the change of colors is my seasonal switch from flip flops to boots! The change in footwear and fall colors are inspiring me to use oranges and browns in my recent beading designs. Orange corals and brown pen shell are combined to set off the beads in several projects. I've updated the "Latest and Greatest" column to highlight the new projects. Thanks for checking back with the site!
