Come to the Cornelia Holiday show on December 5-7 to see my latest chainmaille jewelry and beaded jewelry designs. Those of you who saw my beaded collar in progress last year can see it in all its finished glory this weekend. You'll also be able to take a look at some of my beaded dragon sculptures.
The Cornelia Holiday show runs December 5, 6-9pm, December 6-7, 11am - 5pm and is located at:
The Cornelia Arts Building
1800 W Ravenswood
Chicago, IL 60657
Parking can be a little tricky, so I recommend taking the brown line to the Addison stop whenever possible.
Hope to see you there!

New Resources
Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at the Art of Beadwork show. I got a lot of great feedback about my phoenix bead embroidered necklace and my beaded dragon sculptures.
Now that I have maybe a day to relax before I start gearing up for the Cornelia Holiday Show, I thought I would add some new resources to the website.
For jewelers and anyone else people concerned with the prices of metals or who do online ordering from other countries, I think it's important to know where the markets stand.
Xe.com
The top of the page gives a handy conversion chart to see how the world's major currencies compare with one another. Right under that table is a quick conversion box, so you can find out how much your money is worth elsewhere.
Kitco.com
Gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium prices per ounce. It's useful for knowing when to make those supplies purchase you've been putting off.
These new references are located in the Jewelry Markets Information page.
