Thanks, Douglas, BWeaves and CatMom! It’s always good to be home, even if the turn around is rather short this time. I got home just in time to take care of one of the big sinks backing up. Before I left, it was the car. 😟 There’s always something. The good news is, I found a good local plumber...

Back home and back to reality. My suitcase is exploding onto the floor. I need to get unpacked and a quick turnaround with what to pack for PBTB. Really looking forward to catching up with all the pearl friends! Lary007, I love the baroques and the veggie necklace is especially delightful...

I like the combo, BWeaves! You look so springy/summery! Lary007, I’ve been wanting something with that blossom setting. Your new earrings look fantastic, and of course the little h…ahhhh… CatMom, it was worth the Ban Island breakout! Your new bracelet looks perfect with your Rikitea strand...

Bonjour! I am so disappointed I missed out on the last two PP live events from Japan! I can’t wait to see what everyone added to their collections. I’ll need to go through the videos later to catch up. We landed in Paris on May Day. Lily of the Valley seems to be the flower of choice for...

I don’t know of anything specific to recommend, but I’m sure there are a lot of videos on YouTube. You can try watching a few and then experiment to see what technique works for you. I‘ve never watched anyone else wire-wrap so I have no idea if what I do would be considered conventional or not...

You should play with some wire pearlgirl12! It might not be for everyone but you’ll never know until you try it. It opens up a whole different way of creating with pearls.

What a fantastic pearly adventure this has been! :wave:

I grew up doing crafty things, especially in miniature, so that was a bit of an advantage. It does take some practice and good tools. You should give it a try pearlgirl12!

They are very complimentary, BWeaves! Deep lavender FW pearls from one of PP’s HK Live events. They were loose pearls in a bracelet length that I made into a tin cup. A tourmaline necklace and earrings I made. The little center tourmaline was a gift from the vendor. I haven’t decided if I’m...

BWeaves- love the full Kojima and new pearl vocabulary! Looking forward to seeing you all at the PP/Takahashi Live Event later today! Wearing a multi-colored Tahitian strand from Hawaii, Japan Kasumi golden drop earrings from Kojima, and a Tahitian tin cup I put together.

lary007, if you use one of the little enhancer clasps you can hang any of your pendants from that toggle.

Thanks so much CatMom, lary007, pearlgirl12, and BWeaves! I took that pic a couple weeks ago, so here’s more Akoya from Takahashi from a few days ago- P.S. pearlgirl12- you are a crack up. There is such a variety of pearls to choose from, you can never have enough pearls. All from Takahashi...

Thanks so much, Steve! That pearl and setting make such a unique necklace BWeaves! I have your number lary007! And you probably have mine, too, given the purchases.;) That Live Kasumi event was fantastic!!! Wow, that teaser from Takahashi… so many choices! I can’t wait to see what they decide...

Aaakkkkk… I can’t keep up with all the posts! BWeaves, that’s always been one of my favorite pendants of your’s. Great choices Steve and Tiger! The drops are so pretty! Pearlgirl12, I remember those necklaces! I just love the way Kojima pieces are so creatively mixed. Steve, I have 3...

What a great little clip! Only one farmer remaining, and to man the entire operation himself, is truly incredible. These pearls are such special little treasures!

Thanks so much, SurfnSci!

Thanks lary007!! :giggle: BWeaves, the new earrings look just perfect with your enhancer! I’m glad you got them! It’s spring! I made this long rope and bracelet from these extra long temp strands of FW’s I got at the first PBTB. Worn with Peek-a-Boo earrings. All from Kojima.

You should finish it lary007! Just think of how much fun you’ll have wearing it. I’ve been seeing lots of big baroque white freshwater pearls used as pendants and pendant charms.

And just for fun, here are some strands- Pink Akoya in front from Takahashi, natural white Akoya near rounds in the middle from Takahashi, and white SS Paspaley pearls from Cees in the back.

:giggle: Thanks CatMom!!
