It’s been a long winter and Allain has been dorment but we are back with fresh new ideas for spring. Mom and I took a trip to the spring Beading Expo today and left with some fresh new design ideas. Hopefully we will have some new jewelry for you all to see soon!

If you live or will be in the Albany, New York area in early October, be sure to stop by our party to see what we are all about! While our pictures of the jewelry here on the site are beautiful, there is something about seeing it in person that makes them really special.

Cards, note paper, t-shirts, etc. When Mom sent my March of Dimes necklace, she also sent me this t-shirt with the Álainn Beaded Jewelry name on it. Yeah!

This book explains how to create beads for jewelry and highlights a lot of advanced techniques and skills. I had never realized how much actually goes into creating the beads! (By the way, this book is an absolute joy to read, even if you have no interest in making beads).

Mom has since been dabbling in bead making. She created some really cool stuff. I will have to get her to post an entry about how she has been doing it, but the necklace below has a piece that she created. The white bead with the fairy is the one my Mom made.
