Something Wicked This Way Comes -on a budget. :) Zoom class with Beads to Live By on November 18th

 Many of you Lovelies missed out on the original version of this design . Understandably so, as the class offered was very small, limited by the number of my original focals I had in my stash.

Eager to please, I have re-created the design with minor adjustments: The Kevin O'Grady pendant/focal is replaced here by a glowing resin cabochon made by me.  

The glowing resin focal idea and method originates with Gail Crosman Moore. It is with her permission I make these cabochons, with the understanding that the process remains Gail's intellectual property. You can purchase her own glowing resin cabochons right here: https://gail.bigcartel.com/category/glowing-resin-cabochons

Gail and I taught a joined set of classes at Beads By Blanche in 2018, where participants learned the resin process with her, and the next day we used the resin in our designs in my class.  If you like the resin focal I made for this design, I strongly encourage you to take classes with Gail and purchase some of her work on her website. 

This is what my glowing resin cabochons you will get one of in your kit look like. The first picture depicts them at one angle. The next picture is of the same focals from a different angle. They shift color with the change of light.  

This is what they look like in a studio setting:

Since these are all very similar although being hand made makes them just a tiny bit different  from one another, you don't have to pick a focal when you sign up for this zoom class with Beads to Live By. You will get one of these pretties randomly.

So what a the differences in how this will look from the original? Will it go with the design?

Size-wise, the new focal is about the same size as my original sample. Besides the focals being different in the two versions of Something Wicked This Way Comes, there is one more difference in materials: The original design featured some Anna Bronze components around the focal.  The new version does not have these. In place of these I used some glowing mermaid beads.

Above: two samples of the original, one of the new version. 

I hope these images convinced you that you might NEED TO TAKE THIS CLASS. Not that I am enabling you, or any such, but there is a good chance you might WANT THIS BADLY. DON'T YOU?

So what do you need to do to get into this class?

Beads to Live By is our hostess with the mostest. I know that you will click on that link and get upset that the class is already sold out. It is not. It's just not working yet, because.... *insert drumroll*

.....The registration will begin at 10:00 am Eastern Time this Saturday morning, on the 15th of October, that is. Until then, the listing appears to be sold out. 

The class will take place on November 18th, which is a Friday. It will be 5 hours of beading plus 1 hour break for lunch, and it will be followed by an optional trunk show. 

So what do you really need to do? I have a checklist for you:

-Set your alarm to sign up at 10:00 am Eastern Time at Beads to Live By  Reminder: Eastern Time, Folks. I tend to post things in Mountain Time because I live in Colorado. Our host is located in Michigan, so I am reminding you of this, in case you skimmed over the time zone part.

-When you register, you pay Beads to Live by for the class fee which is $85. Within a week of registration, you will also be invoiced for the mandatory kit. You will get this second invoice from me, the frog at Crimson Frog, Kinga. 

- Your kit will ship by October 25th.   This kit is $115. (The original version with the collectible focal was $200. )

-On November 18th at 10:00 am, Eastern time we shall commune in festive harmony, making this prettiest of pretties. Looking forward to seeing You!
