They are so gorgeous, I'm literally blown away by how beautiful, and intracate they are. I do a little bit of beadwork myself, but nothing as awesome as that!
I'm definatly going to get some cash together and do some bidding/purchasing.
Do you know how long it is going to be running for?

The auctions start March 1st and run each week until the end of April. Each week a different group will go up for sale. My little Green Man goes up the week of March 21st-28th.
Good luck on the bidding. The prices usually don't go much over $60 (US). So you have a good chance of winning something amazing at a great price.
The beads for next year have already been sent out. I got them last week and have been mulling over ideas. Most years its been a two fold challenge. First, coming up with something to do, and second dealing with colors I really can't stand. I have a very limited palette of colors I like to work with and green, purple and orange are not on it. LOL. But next year's colors are fantastic. I have so many ideas I'm not sure what to do. I can't reveal what the colors are for another week, until all participants get their beads. Its part of the fun, being surprised when you open the box. But I can' tell you that I love them!
