You never know. I also have had packages come from Washington state very quickly. Oh the mail, and customs. What can you do?! I also try to have a big stash of beads and wire on hand. Good to hear from you.Maplegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619964351185589342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376079975413449492.post-40786777374938769492012-12-05T12:03:18.937-08:002012-12-05T12:03:18.937-08:00Oh, just seeing your response, Andrea, as I was go...Oh, just seeing your response, Andrea, as I was going through and making sure I didn't miss commenting anywhere. Yeah, I'm In Canada, too (New Brunswick, otherwise known as the-middle-of-nowhere!), so I have learned not to count on Customs or Canada Post to make things easier for my Muse. Part of the reason I love polymer clay, I stock lots (mail-order, naturally) and then I create. No biting my nails waiting for that special bead. But I buy lots of handmade in other media, too!Monique (A Half-Baked Notion)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227965573117684221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376079975413449492.post-52749560951213667352012-12-04T16:58:58.941-08:002012-12-04T16:58:58.941-08:00Wow, Andrea, you've got a fan in me!

The palette threw me off at first, but I loved the blue and the combo of colours, so I had to try it.

You were very inspired to create so many pieces! All those glass beads are very special. I will be bookmarking Miss Leah's site to come back another time! I think that my favorite of all of these is the Lake Disappointment palette. I don't use mustard colors like ever, so that one has proven to trip me up! I especially love learning about the origin of the name as I had wondered about that! Thanks for joining in the Challenge! Enjoy the day.

I loved your color theory articles and have to re-read them. So much I want to learn. I think that color combos come easily to me (got it from my mom who is a quilter), but I loved your articles about the reason and perception of how some colors do made great combinations. I too love the blue and ochre, but I had not combined them before. It was your palette that led me to that.

Yet, I did have quite a few to choose from, and was glad there were some there to match the colours I needed. I only shopped for some seedbeads. Yes, I have a big stash of lovely handmade things and wire to make things, and I am not ashamed to admit that I love shopping handmade.Maplegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619964351185589342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3376079975413449492.post-50909637988278183152012-12-01T10:31:20.722-08:002012-12-01T10:31:20.722-08:00I love how one palette can offer multiple inspirat...I love how one palette can offer multiple inspirations!
