What's New, Pussycat?
Artist: Kathryn Levine (Morgan Hill, CA)
Polly's Picks, Gemstones & Pearls
“No special story here, I just love earrings that are different. They make really good gifts, especially if you can't find them in a store and the receiver knows it's handmade just for them. I used a heart bead for the body and a piece of sterling silver wire to put it together and add a tail. I am a cat lover and cannot have them because my husband is allergic and my dog (my last child at home) probably wouldn't allow it.” – Kathryn Levine
We especially liked how Kathryn combined lampwork cat face beads with Swarovski® rhinestone wheels as collars. We offer a few large vertically-drilled gemstone hearts in our permanent line. Others can sometimes be found at our traveling BeadTour shows.
Polly’s Picks are designs our editor especially liked despite the fact that they did not win a formal prize. These designs are often simple, practical and/or whimsical examples of how to use Rings & Things components well.
