Yesterday I was on duty at the Embroiderers Guild Vic Spring Fever Exhibition - they had asked me to give a beading demonstration. As I was checking out the exhibition, I discovered one of my pieces was SOLD! A lovely red sticker was on the label. An interesting dilemma - whilst I like selling things, I didn't really want to sell this one so I put what I thought was a fairly high price on it. But it sold anyway. Guess any sale is a good sale though. My stock of beaded necklaces and stuff is overflowing.
Whilst I was demonstrating, who should come past but Marg Mueller our Bead Society Workshop Co-ordinator, with Cynthia Rutledge from the USA. I was not expecting Cynthia, who is here to tutor some workshops for the Bead Society to be inspecting the work I had on the demonstration table. It's all pretty ordinary compared to her fabulous creations. She was very nice and we had an interesting chat about bead addiction.

Congratulations on the sale Christine! That's certainly a beautiful necklace, I absolutely love the colours in it.

I know what you mean about putting a high price on something because you don't want to sell it or so you won't have to do it. One of my aunts made cakes. A company always got a huge sheet cake. She didn't want to do it that year so she put what she considered a huge price on it. To her horror, the company said ok with no haggling. We don't always get what we want.
Congrats on the sale! It's a gorgeous piece! Enjoy your class:)
Congratulations on the sale, Christine. Your necklace is magnificent!
I'm envious that you get to take a class with Cynthia Rutledge - I love her work.
so exciting!! :)
Your necklace is beautiful. I love the colors.
I do embroidery also- in fact I'm a member of 2 guilds. Right now I'm spending most of my free time test stitching a pattern before it gets published.
Congratulations on the sale, that's great!
