Beadin' Path - Freeport, Maine
Beadin' Path is showing for the first time at BABE! and bringing some of their vintage lucite beads.
"In 2004 we purchased 40,000 lbs of vintage lucite beads & components from a company called Best Plastics which manufactured for companies such as Avon, Coro, Chanel & Trifari from the 1960's - the early 1980's. We also have an extensive line of reproduction lucite & plastic flowers, filigrees, leaves & owl beads made with old molds. These pieces stack and layer well with our vintage metal flowers & components. Our goal is to provide the jewelry designer the most unusual components & beads which will inspire them to bead in new ways than they have before."

Elemental Adornments Fine Silver by Christi Anderson
"I like my work to tell a story and to have a strong connection to the wearer. Books to keep secrets in, story lockets with bewitching themes not unlike fairy tales, and hearts with a history. Each birdhouse and storybook is handcarved, usually in PMC. "
