Plum Indulgence
Designer: Lynn M. Dean
Sometimes you just have to buy those beads that you love!
 I’ve coveted the focal beads in this necklace for several years now. Each year at one of my local bead shows, The Rocky Mountain Bead Society’s Bead Bazaar, I’d caress them. I’d drool on them, and then I’d do the math and decide that I just couldn’t afford them. But this year, the artist, Susan Simonds (www.susansimonds.com) was having a “Recession Sale.” All her lampwork beads were half off. I decided it was now or never and I snapped them up!

Lynn Dean (The Purple Lady) is a freelance writer and jewelry artist living in Northern Colorado. She has taught beadworking classes for years and her jewelry has been featured in numerous art galleries.
If you would like Lynn to feature your lampwork beads in her work for this column, you may send them to her at P.O. Box 146, Timnath, CO 80547. If your beads sing to her, she will create a piece of jewelry and then, at your discretion return it to you, for a small fee, to use as a sample; donate the jewelry created to benefit a non-profit in Northern Colorado; or, if the beads are purple, wear the jewelry and advertise your work. If the beads don’t sing to her, she will return them to you.
