Virginia BEAD SWAP in Occoquan!

Where: Kelly’s Artbox, 304 Mill Street, Occoquan, VA

When: The fun starts at 1PM January 11th, 2009

**RSVP to kcampbellartist@hotmail.com by January 8th please

FREE FOOD, DRINKS, AND FUN! Come expecting to meet some great friends!

How it Works: Bring your unwanted beads and supplies (tools, wire, magazines, strands, totes etc. and a TV tray to display it on to Kelly’s Artbox.

Pay a $2 admission fee to enter and donate 1 item (your choice) for the raffle.

Set up what you’d like to trade or sell, and HAVE FUN! The possibilities are endless on what you could bring home by trading your unwanted beads.

BE FAIR!! Remember, this is a “yard sale” and swap. You will sell/trade more if you’re willing to keep your prices low. Go home with new goodies instead of taking what you brought back home!

NOTHING TO SWAP? No problem! Come with cash and take home some great beads.

Afterwards, take a minute's walk to Occoquan's bead store "Off the Beading Path"!

Chic- Traditional Custom Breyer Horse

I did another custom breyer of Chic below, here is the traditional model of him done on the Breyer Legends Smart Chic Olena model.

Even though my Christmas commissions are through, I still have another gorgeous appaloosa breyer custom I'm doing on the Smarty Jones model. Pictures will be posted soon!

Custom Breyer Horses- Chic and Mystic

As a Manassas artist, I dabble in all kinds of things to help keep me creative. Customizing Breyer model horses started out as a hobby, but I've found there's somewhat of a demand for it, and lucky me I am always happy to re-create that special equine friend on a Breyer model.

Meet Chic and Mystic. Chic is related to Smart Chic Olena, and I had a lot of fun recreating this gorgeous stallion. I will be doing another custom of him on the Olena mold, and I'll post when that's done!

To see what goes into my customs, please read one of my previous blog posts here: http://ofnaturedesignsjewelry.blogspot.com/2008/10/latest-breyer-creation.html
