A wedding invitation for you all ...

 As some of you know - I plan on getting married as soon as I get my fiancée to Norway. (for those you that pray - please try my plea with the paperwork department - that he will get his papers soon - he been waiting since March)

I am planing on making a multi strand necklace and bracelet similar to this http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6614/626qz2.jpg
but I want a side to side whole heart in the middle (for the bracelet a slightly smaller heart) (if I can find a Lampwork artist that can help me with this) http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/6982/needhearts.jpg (yes I suck at drawing)
I want it all in white and clear, matt or sparlky. Just all kind of diffrent beads pearls and so on...

So since I know none of you can come in person - this is an invite if you want to have a "bead" join the party on my jewelry for the day. So if you have a bead or more - feel free to join the party =)

Let me know if you want in on the party - and need my address.
(ofc the beads will be included in my work - so they will not be returned after the wedding)

(this is not a trade - nor a begging or demand - just a fun idea for the BD family to join the party)

Hi Inca ~  CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding... I hope your Fiancee will get his papers soon.  I would also love to send a BEAD to your WEDDING... let me know if there is anything special you would like

 

Congratulations Inca!!

What I wonderful idea! I would love to send something too, so let us know if there's something special that you would like!

I am looking for anything white/clear 1-12mm, and shapes or material(not plastic) .
I just want the "chunkyness" of the mix of like everything.

So you can send anything you want white or clear. if can be crystals or gemstone or pearls or anything. Sparkly or matt, any finish plain or AB.  1 bead or several - like I said I am making multiple strands necklace and bracelet so there will be room for a lot of differents

I got this idea from an old necklass my mum's aunt had - hers was black - but it had like tons of different beads in shapes and sizes and texture.

Just email me if you need my address. 
And ofc everyone that contributes a bead or several - gets to a picture(email) when the big day gets here. I dont like posting pics on forums so the pics are "private viewings"

 ooooohhhh! Pick me pick me! I've got I think 2 white tiger eye glass beads studded with rhinestones left over from an old project, I've been saving them for something special... this sounds like it! I'll be sending you a package, you can COUNT on it! What a wonderful way to include us in the wedding!

 Inca I will definitely send you something. I have some things I know right off the top of my head in my stash that would work for you.

When do you need it by? I would like to combine postage and send it with your challenge piece. It's almost finished but not quite. Just have to finish assembling but I am 75% complete on it.

Congratulations! I would love to be a part of the wedding.  When do you need these by and would you send me your address.  What a wonderful idea!

Inca, congratulations!  I think this is a very sweet idea and you can count on me to send you some white beads to join the party in your necklace.  I can't believe they're still holding up your fiance's papers and will certainly add this concern to my prayers for you. 

I know of a couple of people who might be able to make you a lampwork heart and have put in some links here...

http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/croweyecreations  this is Vicky, or Victoria Burby.  She lives in Bangor, Maine and I have a number of her bead sets and have seen lots of her work in person.  She does a beautiful job.  She doesn't have any heart beads on her website but I've seen her make them before and have no doubt she can make you one. 

http://www.mindexcite.com/croweye/  This is her website in addition to her ebay listings.

http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Sunrise-Beads-and-Sunrise-Frit_Mixed-Sets-Beads_W0QQ_fsubZ2QQ_sidZ62269653QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14?_pgn=1  These people are also in Maine, north of Bangor.  They make a series of beautiful heart beads that don't have the hole going horizontally but I think they might make one in whites with a horizontal hole if you ask for it.  I've seen some of their beads, they do a good job too, they have a distinctive style.  I don't know these people personally like I do Vicky.

http://www.sunrisebeads.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9&zenid=97ec3126b8bda77e366a8965676083f5  This is their website with the first page of hearts. 

If those two don't have anything you'd like there is another beadmaker I can recommend:  http://stores.shop.ebay.com/River-Oak-Acres-Lampwork-Beads__W0QQ_armrsZ1  and here's the off ebay store:  http://www.riveroakacres.com/  I have beads he made too and they're beautiful. 

Good luck with this Inca!

 Inca, I will add you and your fiancee to my prayers.  I'll try to finish off your challenge piece and send you a bead for your wedding piece soon.  Do you have a date set yet?  Or does it all depend on when your fiancee gets his papers?

Could you email me your address?  I couldn't read your handwriting well enough on the package you sent and I don't want it to get lost in the mail.

Inca, please count me in!  And I still have your address from the list Dawn sent out for the first swap.

I will be sending you some freshwater pearls and anything else I will come across in my stash. 

What a wonderful way for us to be a part of your wedding!  Congratulations!

 Inca - First Congrats! I hope that your fiance gets his paperwork soon to say the least!

I am definitely in! I know I have some that I can send but I am always up for any reason to go to the bead store! YEAH! I will keep my eye out for you. I will start a little baggie and ship it in a couple of weeks when I ship the earrings/bracelets/etc etc to everyone before I "ship" my son to college. So that would be around the end of July. If that is okay? If you need it sooner, no worries as I can do that as well!

I think this is a fabulous idea. We always talk about being with others in spirit so this is that idea. I am very proud to be included in your project and part of your special day as I am sure that everyone else is too!

Again Congrats and sending positive thoughts to the paperwork people!!

Well I have now 100% set date yet. So its not urgent.
I just thought I start early, and if anyone wanted to "join in" they would have time.

SO feel free to wait for the package you are sending.

koolaidstains:

Do you have a date set yet?  Or does it all depend on when your fiancee gets his papers?

 No date yet. And yes its all about his papers. Cause it kinda helps being in the same country when your getting married.

And sure I send the address mail now =)

Sheila H:

but I am always up for any reason to go to the bead store!

Glad I could help =)

 Like I said to Cat - the date is not set in stone yet.
I just figured I do this early - cause it gives my mind something to do - and everyone has time to join in if they want so end of July is fine =).

and sending positive thoughts to the paperwork people!!

So that is where I am going wrong ... I am more ont the page to beat them senseless and strangle them. (I have never been known to have patience - and waiting since March for the papers are turning me crazy)
