April 2013 Program
Our creative juices will be out in full form as Lynn Lytle leads our program in 3D Beading. She’s going to show us how to bead on a doll form. Click on the MONTHLY PROGRAMS tab above for more information.
Bead Dangle Swap:
Don't forget to bring in your 6 dangles for the Swap this month. Bring in 6 and get 5 back - one is donated to Houston Bead Society for the auction bracelet to be auctioned at this year's Bayou City Bead Works show in October.
What is a dangle? Beads, charms, etc. that are attached to a metal eye or head pin that can then be attached to a necklace or a bracelet. Remember for this swap, dangles can be made of any material except plastic, so no plastic or acrylic beads or findings unless they are vintage. Polymer clay is acceptable and, if possible, we prefer sterling silver findings for the auction bracelet (though not required). The maximum size for the dangles is 1.5".
This is a fun way to collect a variety of dangles for a bracelet or even a necklace. Tish Reed is coordinating this fun event so make sure to give her your charms at the beginning of the meeting on Saturday. Tish will also announce the next swap.
Bead Challenge Show and Tell:
For all of you who bought the bead challenge package a couple of months ago, it’s time to show what you made with the challenge stash. We’ll have an expanded Show and Tell segment for Challenge participants.
Gathering of the Guilds on Museum Day (April 27):
Don’t forget our participation for the Museum district’s Gathering of the Guild. Pat Powell is coordinating our participation in this event. Remember that examples of your work are needed (everything loaned, will be returned). If you signed up to help with the demonstrations, etc, don’t forget to show up or alert Pat Powell that you can’t make it.
Summer Bead Fling:
It’s coming up the weekend of June 22. Click HERE for more information or click on the Summer Bead Fling tab above.
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 (click on her name for an e-mail address) or by phone at
713-557-7329 by April 18.
Library:
The library will be open
for checking out materials and the monthly raffle will be underway until
Shirley announces that meeting will start. Tickets are only $0.50 each.
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.
See you on Saturday.
Lillian Skogsberg
HBS - Vice President
