Today in Tucson was colder than Mr. Freeze's tush. We first went to To Bead True Blue—a show I really do not like very much. But I found some great bargain beads there. Many stalls had strands of beads for $1.00..., $2.00 and up to $5.00 and $6.00, that were worth having. Morning at the African Village was aborted, because we were shivering and our hands hurt from the cold; and so we went to The Best Bead Show instead. At TBBS, I bought a group of fantastic beads from Harold Williams Cooney—whom I met a couple of years ago at the BABE Show in Oakland. I think he is the best new glass-beadmaker in the country now, and I love his stuff. I makes traditional Venetian filigrana work, as vessels and beads. Before now in traditional white-in-clear glass. But now in great colors. I will look forward to showing these things and more when I return home. Thursday, I plan to bundle-up in as many layers as possible. JDA.
