Flickr is always good for a bit of surfing, and I keep finding new ways to find new things. From your home page, you can see a tag cloud of all your pictures (it must use the titles as well as the tags you explicitly enter, because I know I'm not that good about my tags!) and then you can look at all public pictures for any of your tags.

So I was poking around in my tag cloud and found this cool bracelet on about page 6 of "map".

I checked out Suzanne's profile, and found out she sells her pieces at fluidstyle.com. There's other pretty stuff there, too :-)

Diane is going to be in Florida in December and January!

Diane Fitzgerald is a warm and wonderful lady. Both of the Magpies have had the chance to take several classes from her over the years. She has a great eye for color, comes up with wondrous designs, and writes instructions that actually make sense!

Her website provides a nice overview of her work (see the Bead Art and Instructions sections) and you can even find some freebie instructions in the Articles section. If you ever have a chance to take a class with Diane, I enthusiastically recommend the experience. I also suggest buying one of her kits to go with the class. The quality won't disappoint and as I mentioned, her color selections are gorgeous. You really can't go wrong....
