By Lillian Skogsberg, HBS Vice President - Programs
Program:
Join Nancy Jones of Tiny Dog Seed Beads for a demonstration of Rick's Beading Loom. This unique, ergonomic loom works with any size bead and leaves only two warp threads to weave in. This loom makes bead weaving a lot easier than using other looms. If you're not into looming yet, you will be once you see this demonstration.
By the way, Nancy can order the loom for $50 plus tax and shipping. She and Peanut will also have some luscious colors of seed beads available to enhance your stash.
Gathering of the Guilds on
Museum Day - April 27, 2013:
Mark your calendar! Don’t forget, this year, Houston Bead Society will finally again be participating in the Gathering of the Guilds on Museum Day at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC). It’s been several years since we have joined with our fellow artists and craftsmen to let the public know about us and what HBS does.
We will be doing demonstrations and still need a couple of volunteers for the 2 pm to 4 pm and the 4 pm to 6 pm shifts. All you have to do is smile, some beading and try to answer questions that may be asked. There will be at least 3 of us at each shift so we can support each other.
We will also need samples of various types of beadwork. Please bring with you, to the March meeting, any examples you may have that will inspire people to want to learn how to bead or, if they already do bead, perfect their skills.
Pat will have signup sheets for the shifts and inventory sheets for your artwork. If you have any questions or want to volunteer for a shift, please feel free to contact Pat Powell by clicking HERE.
Parking:
Please remember to park in the uncovered spaces in the rear of the gated parking lot. Covered spaces are for residents of Bayou Manor only. After parking, walk back through either the pedestrian or vehicle gate and access the building through the main entrance. Please check in with the receptionist for an ID badge before proceeding to the auditorium.
Vendors:
Any current member can be a vendor at the monthly meetings. The cost is $10 for one 6' table, payable when the Treasurer, Tish Reed, comes by to collect, not once sales are generated. Vendors must provide their own table coverings and may arrive at 9:00 a.m. and sell until the President, Shirley Nowlin, announces that the meeting will begin. Vendors are expected to cover their tables at that time and may resume sales once the meeting is over. Everyone must vacate the auditorium no later than 12:30 p.m. If you would like to vend this month, please contact Lillian by clicking HERE or call her at 713‐557‐7329 no later than March 14.
Library:
The library will be open for checking out materials for current members only. And the monthly raffle will be underway until Shirley announces that meeting will start. Tickets are $0.50/each. If you would like to donate an item for the raffle, please bring it to the meeting and give it to Vicki Backer or Diane Mayes.
Membership:
For those beading friends who keep their membership current, we are very appreciative of your efforts. It allows you to attend monthly meetings and have the opportunity to participate in the monthly programs. Dues are $30 per year for an individual and $40 per year for a family membership (two persons living in the same household). Our Membership Coordinator, Kim Butler, can handle your renewal.
