Welcome friends to issue #40
      March & April provide a welcome relief after winter's cold. Even if it's not cold where you are at least the days are getting longer! St Patrick's Day is celebrated with a Shamrock bracelet and a Pot of Gold crystal drop. We have three Easter projects for you: Ronit shares her realistic Spring Chicks bracelet with matching earrings and Michelle designed comical Easter eggs and half-hatched chicks. Sandra Halpenny weaves a few seed beads and fire polished crystals into sparkling elements. Barb Grainger shows how exquisite seed beads are when stitched in a graceful netted "V". Linda Gettings shares a peyote ruffled cuff with a central line of clustered flower beads. A challenging R.A.W bracelet rounds out the projects. Enjoy!
